I've gotten a wide ranger of delivery times. They have a lot of warehouses. Depends on which it is coming from. Once it only took 4 days...

I've had one take 7 business days but my last order took 18 business days (almost 4 weeks). Like mentioned above, it depends on what holiday is taking place and which warehouse it's shipping from.

They are now using Swiss Post for their standard shipments so everything runs thru Zurich now. That means multiple customs stops to add to the delay. I've got an order shipping standard (2 weeks now) and I just placed one yesterday via EMS; we'll see which gets here first. |

I have placed 2 orders. 1 took 1 month, and they said I had refused my original order 2 weeks in, and they had to resend it. This order I spec all the items from a US warehouse, because I didn't want to pay the big shipping. Sadly enough, the warehouse is just 3 hours from my house. If they would have told me that I would have gone with a shopping cart instead. I still love the batteries. my 2nd order, which I just placed, should be here by the 8th. The even gave me a UPS tracking number this time. If you feel it has been too long. get on there website and contact them. They will respond in 24 hours. I am glad I did on my first order. |

1 - 2 weeks to California for me. PS: Their Rhino batteries are as good if not better than any big name lipos I have used (Hyperion, Thunderpower). |

Wow... Swiss Post service is damned slow... It first ships to Singapore than to Munich.... than to it's final destination? I have one being shipped to me now, so we'll see what route it takes to come to Canada. Next time I am just gonna bunch up my orders or something and spend the extra few dollars for EMS options. |

I have placed 4 orders from them, and It takes any where from 5 days, EMS, to 3 weeks, standard shipping. I have never received a bad lipo, or other electronic part. They have lots of great things, don't limit yourself to just batteries, I recently got a lipo cut-off/ volt meter/ temp meter for $8. The LHS had a cut-off for $32. Zack |

I alway like to pay the extra for the fast shipping. I figure that I'm saying a butt load already on some batteries, why not ~$10 more. Normally it takes 10-18 days to Louisiana. With the fast shipping, i have seen the take about a week. Sometimes you can luck up and find products in their US warehouse.

i pay for extra shipping, But hobbyking has change there shipping stuff with the post office it has to be checked more espcially orders with batteries so it takes a little longer with there post office but after that its relitevly quick, im all the way in Canada and when i pay for the quicker shipping in get my stuff in a total of 7 days, it takes at least two day for the item to be packed and sent to post office and depending on how quick the post office is you can receive it in up to 2 or 3 days but usually 4 or 5
