well, i just made my first order through Hobbyking and I'm very happy with the result.

I ordered $475 USD worth of stuff last Friday. Including 6 x 6S lipo packs, 2 sets of wheels & tires, a charger and a bunch of connectors

Paid $65 shipping, the box weighs about 20 pounds and is the size of a case of wine.

Stuff was delivered today.

Paid GST and only a $10 handling fee.

Will definitely order from them again.

It is better to order from the International warehouse.
Not the US warehouse because they use Fedex.

Shipping to Canada is not "free" as advertised!
I placed a $67 dollar order as a test with the US warehouse.

Got an invoice from Fedex Canada:

GST $4.35
PST $6.08
Clearance entry fee $19.30
Advancement fee $10.00
GST 1.47

Total due to Fedex is $41.20.

So please Hobbyking (USA) use US Parcel service, but not UPS or Fedex.
The Brokerage Fees are killer!

Do the math. International Warehouse might be the better way to go.
Not ordering from US warehouse again.
Sorry.

As stated in the other thread if you registered with Fedex you would have paid the tax and the $10 advancement and that is all.

aha, here's the down side of HK..

Call your MLA tell him about USA and the 300 plus million people, and how complicated/ unpredictable it is to get something from there. Used or new
