Lipo 6s batteries - shipping from HK


       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
I keep getting blocked when I try to order these from HKing. One battery or 4 batteries I keep getting a page that says;
Unable to ship this parcel to your country due to size/weight.
Your order is either too large, or too heavy for shipment to your country.
Please see the table below to understand what's permitted by your countries postal system.
Your order To country: CANADA
Cart weight: 3556g
Total Length 145
Total Size 653mm(L+W2+H2)

I even tried putting only one 6s battery in the cart and got the same message, but when I tried with a 5s it went through OK. I know I have to use FedEx but I can't get to that portion of the checkout process. Anyone else having this problem? TIA

I think we now have to order 3S and series them up ourselves with a wiring harness into 6s.

It was Turnigy 6s 5000Mah 30C that I was trying to order.

Re: Lipo 6s batteries - shipping from HK

Just now I placed a "dummy" order for two Turnigy 6S, 5,000 mAh LiPo batts and received the same note - "unable to ship to your country..." I tried both the Asian and the U.S. west warehouse locations, with the same result. Not good

As an aside, I also just attempted to purchase a similar sized batt (single LiPo) from a well known U.S. distributor and had no problems. Shipping options were USPS (EMS) for $38.00 or FEDEX $34.00. Looks like HK is still having shipping issues. I would imagine that batt sales formed a pretty good chunk of their market; that's what normally comprised the bulk of my purchases and if they can no longer deliver, I no longer have any need for Hobby King.
