    It cost less, you will pay a bit more for the boat but with only $12 shipping over $50-$60 shipping coming from Hong Kong. You will also save on possible customs duty, certainly here in the UK we get charged vat, import duty & post office collection fee. Its much cheaper for us buying from the UK warehouse + you normally have the item in 3-4 days of ordering here.

        I think I rather pay a few dollars more and get it from OSE or one of the other US companies. Then guess on where it comes from, how long it takes and will it be in one piece.

              I'm sure mail still moves, yes but, customs may take a little longer than normal. It's all good.

                Just an update here.

                I placed an order that was payment accepted on 2 October. The order included (2) 6S Lipos and the new 200A ESC. As of today, no delivery. I went to their website and requested a dispostion today. We will see how much longer it takes.............................

                  If you look on the HK daily recently they are having problems with their shippers & say they have new shippers they are now using but have had a serious back log on orders due to this problem. Their saying they have moved most of their office staff to the warehouse to help with packaging on the back log.

                          Ok, My order arrived today (10/23). This shpiment was from China apparently b/c there was a customs sticker on it. The order included (2) 6S Lipos and the new 200A ESC. Order took 10/2 to 10/21. TOtal of 19 days. THis is not bad in my estimation. I never pay attention when ordering batteries whether the US warehouse has them or not. I am always fixated on price/mAh. Lesson learned if you want them fast, pay attention to US or China warehouse.

                              I dont think it matters. Two different orders from China 11 and 12 days. Still waiting on a USA warehouse order watching it on the check marks 2 days to the warehouse to pack it and it sat there for over 2 weeks. Shipped it say expected 28th which is 7 days or 25 total if it arrives then. The kicker, bro ordered almost the same things a week after I and came in 5 days
