I will remember that for next time. This is first battery order for me since restrictions had been placed on batt. shipments. Check late last night and stuff is still in Singapore post web as being handed over to airline. Now I check this morning and its sitting in Mississauga . Yah I might have it before weekend

Ever order from the Shopping channel or those Only on TV offers? 4-6 weeks delivery. So 2-3 weeks from HK is nothing to complain over.

The order sat for 3/4 days at hobby king then onto the post office,another few days and then it shows this

Hong Kong

Canada


Handover to Airline

Mine was only $16 postage compared to $7 if there was no lipos. Nothing to do with HK, its is the postal system that imposed new regulations in HK.

Re: Type of battery Shipped

Someone said that they are no longer able to ship Li-Pos from HongKong so have to go through some other postal system - don't know that for sure though.

Type of battery Shipped

Ok so if you buy batteries from HK is the extra shipping charged just on Lipos or the other types too a123 and is it lilo
Right now is agood time to buy from Rotor Quest if you spend $100 free shipping and 10% off this weekend . So on some batteries that is a good price
