If the item you want is also available on banggood I recomend going with them. Hobbyking was cheap but they were also chargin a lot to ship to canada so I passed on them

Roy , have you even looked at Shami Hobbies out of Ontario ? Price and quality wise ? If he don't have em
In your size email him and ask. Doesn't cost a cent to give it a try and can same you many pesos. Carries Gens Ace and others.
If there are others that don't like to save money then maybe he's not the place !

Myself and a few others are very happy with what we saved . Very nice guy to deal with.

Singpost tracking is crap.
I would way until a person need a number of items then spend the extra on Fedex shipping.

It does cost more for shipping but still cheaper than any Canadian hobby shop can even come close too for batteries.
Agreed batteries generally come quick and are cheaper. Some smaller parts I ordered for a few dollars are taking longer. Customs(Canadian) must just be overworked between coffee breaks or too busy with more important stuff

The new regulations for Lipo Batteries on planes has thrown alot of people behind and unless you ok with waiting, better to order local...
