    Shipping to Hong Kong $

    I have to return a puffed lipo back to Hobby King for a replacement, I went to UPS last night and they charge $79 for the slow boat to Honk Kong service. Does anyone know of a less expensive method for shipping? The original cost of the battery was $30 and shipping was only around $20.

    Why in the world would anyone use UPS for that. Try the good old post office. I returned one once for 14 bucks!

      Its really not worth shipping because of the return cost. Plus dont forget the liability you are taking in sending something like that on a plane. I wouldn't do it.

        UPS is expensive for international. They charge you brokerage fees and such.

        The regular post office is basically the only way.

        The deal here is they will hassle you to return the battery for the "warranty". The simple fact is if you do return it they will dispose of it...

        Send it back parcel post by USPS. Will take a month or better to get to them- probably longer. Cheapest way. If its over 4 Lbs package then they force you to use Priority- which isnt cheap.
