      You are being impatient. US Customs can take a couple of days sometimes. You probably paid for EMS shipping, right? I use it all the time. I have had delivery in as little as 4 days and as long as 2 weeks. Hang in there!

        if it is the US customs that has it then UH cannot be held as guilty (how can they control the customs?), there was a weekend in between there, I am sure they don't work as fast.
        When I need something pronto, I make sure there is not a weekend in the middle to make things slower...

          i ordered on a monday hoping itd b here by the weekend. its still not here. i guess ill just keep waitin. i ran my sv on 12 cells with a cf48 and i love it but the motor got so hot it burned the pack. i found out there was resin in the brass coupler on top the rudder so it wasnt flowing water. fixed it and ran it on 6 cells and it cools prefect now. i just wanna see this this on lipo!!

                      I got my stuff in one week using EMS. It was in customs for one day BUT my bud had his batts get stuck in customs for a week. If they are stuck in customs they can sit there for a while before they clear. I had a heli that I shipped to Quebec get stuck in customs for almost 1 month before they finally released it. That buyer was so pissed at me he threatened my life !!

                        Only had good deals with HC, had two orders there last month, first was placed on Tuesday night and recived it on Thursday morning.

                        Second order was placed on Monday morning and was recived on Thursday morning.
                        Both shipped with EMS

                        So all in all i'm very happy with HC, all orders was delived in less then 4 days from HK to Norway.

                            I believe Douggie lives in British Columbia ... you must be thinking of his sister.

                              Douggie the custom angel from hell. Yes your toys will have to await due dilligence and proposed useage prior to release. Tasmanian's are excussed. The great wilderness and that two funky islands, not a chance
