Round lipo`s in Canada? where?

       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
Hey Guys. Im looking for some round lipo`s . I almost had a heart attack when I viewed the shipping price for a few on these cells. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...und_Lipo_.html

Am I missing something? Is there some new HAZMAT law I'm not aware of? What is the deal with shipping lipo`s these days?

Thanks

I selected 4 lipos at 8 bucks
Shipping was 3.99

Total $12

That's pretty darned good for me.

Then for fun picked a 5000 3S pack, shipping was $15. that's pretty good considering what it was in the last month when things went wonky with shipping rates

Read up on the "shipping from hobby king" thread to follow what happened in the last 3 months.

I have some round Nano Techs I would sell you. They were square for the first 25 flights.

Not sure what happened. At first they wanted 33 bucks shipping for 12 dollars worth of cells.

I registered and now it must have my postal code so the shipping was under 10 bucks

Thanks, Order is now placed.

Re: Round lipo`s in Canada? where?
I was going to order some stuff from HK and in the lot there was two 4000 4s lipos and a couple of smaller ones plus 2 motors and escs a a few other things, when it came to paying, the only delivery option I had was Ups and instead of $35 registered mail there was a $40 aditionnal fees by Ups. So I cancelled the order since I no longer accept delivery from Ups, I'd rather buy my batteries here from AMR, at the end its not much expesive and I support a local Hobby shop.
