    Interesting HK info

    My last order

    N2200.2S.35 Turnigy nano-tech 2200mah 2S 35~70C Lipo Pac 2
    N4000.3S.45 Turnigy nano-tech 4000mah 3S 45~90C Lipo Pac 1
    Shipment EMS Express to USA (MAX 4kg) $65.39
    Total $271.25


    Invoice in the box was as follows
    Hull with motor $42
    2200 2S packs $7.97
    4000 3S pack $13.50
    Shipping $17.91

    Wow is what I say, they cleaned up....but before you say anything. Just think of how much ProBoat and Aqua Profit is making.

    I am very pleased with what I got for $271.25

              Do you need to tell them to lower the vaule on the shipping for custom/duty or do they that automatic? I am interested in order from HK but it makes a lot difference with custom/duties. With custom/duties in Sweden, it makes not that big saving order from HK. Greatful for all info.

                  The thing is in the US toys such as these are exempt for tariff's and duties...

                  So they could put $1,000,000 on it and you wouldnt pay a penny.

                      However in Sweden they apply to custom and duties.
