    HK Shipping

    Ok the price was too good for ma to pass up and I want to race some this year with Classic Thunder so I ordered some HK batteries thought they would have been here by now but looks like they went to Switzerland on the way here. Humm not sure I made the right decision now.

      It took mine about 10-12 days also but I know at one point they had to ship differently than they used to due to new regulations on lipos and mail.

        I had an order do that a few months back. EMS and thats exactly the way it went. I ordered some small stuff on the 13th of Dec. using the "registered mail" and it arrived to FL today. Just be patient, you'll get it. Sometimes stupid stuff makes up for the "price we pay" I guess. Frustrating though when it makes no sense....

            i just ordered from the USA warehouse last week and it came USPS in 4 days to hawaii. i think they charged $20 something, for a $13 priority box. 10 lipos, one was bad. customer service rep says i have to send to china for warranty. BTW- the return address had a Washington zipcode.

              Id guess because the US is only the warehouse, they were supplied by China... still though, Youd think/ hope you could send them to where you got them and let the US warehouse deal w/ it. Were you the one I read a few days ago about withe the $20.00 packs? If so, for 20 bux, you trash it and get another one. Not worth the return shipping and that equivelant battery from your LHS is $80 or more. So your still waaay ahead of the game. Now if it was an expensive battery, thats a different story.....

                  yup thats me. if i was in sanctioned racing i would buy the more expensive packs. but we just bash, so like you said, run them till dead and get some more.

                  and BTW- this was my first experience with HC. and i will buy from them again, you just cant beat the price.

                    This is normal for them to air lipos like that.
                    I think its one of the ways arround the regullations of air transportation of this kind of materials....

                      My batteries left Singapore on Dec 4th and showed up in Zurich on December 13th...and that's the last I heard of them; couldn't trace them any further...I think I am out $175....%$#&@#$

                      Good luck!
