Hobbyking is a joke

[bigred22]

The only place I can find nano tech lipos is hobbyking and for two lipos they r charging me 45 $ to ship them. Am I crazy or is that ridiculous to anyone else? But id really like to try these batteries but cant find any other place that sells them. So I need ur guys help tell me if uk of another place

It depends on what size the batteries are. I bought some 500mah 3s from them and they seem to be decent batteries. I got them for 6$ a piece but the bigger batteries are going to cost more. It just took a couple weeks to get them because they had to come from Japan. I really like the batteries though so I will be ordering from them again.

you need to make sure you are shopping out of the the US warehouses. i bought 2 nano tech 2200mah batts and my charger. it was about $53 shipped for all of it.

At $45 it seems you've picked a less than optimal shipping option out of the several offered.

+1 even if you order from Hong Kong the shipping is reasonable...just be prepared to wait.

Yup, you must be careful what postage option you choose, my last two lipos (350mAh nanos), shipping cost was 5,99.. Hongkong -> Finland.

I have always used the International (Registered) Air Mail, cheap, and still get the tracking number for it.. Usually takes 2-3 weeks.

HK also has warehouse in europe, but first, batteries are little more expensive and second, cheapest shipping option for those same two litte lipos Germany -> Finland was 20+ dollars

I bet it is a conspiracy against you. Everyone on here knows that HK ships for free to everyone but you, but if they admit it, they get on the banned list. I say fight the power and buy Max Amps. They are like $1000 each, but I bet they will ship for less than $10.


Or you could bitch about shipping costs to your congressmen. Tell them how you are not buying American, and those Chinks are ripping you off.

Or you could order them by Donkey like everyone else, wait 2 weeks and pay $10.

Did you order from the USA warehouse? I find ordering and receiving from HK usa warehouse I get them in 5-7 days or less.

Just get a couple of buddies together and put a bigger order in and split the shipping up

[bigred22]

They only offered me four and that was the lowest cost

[bigred22]

Didn't know they had a usa warehouse to order from

[bigred22]

Ok now that ik they have a usa warehouse I ordered from them and it was only 10 $ shipping sorry guys for talking bad bout hobbyking my bad

[Rockridge]

I find it kind of sad that there are so many "nerwer" RCC members that, the instant they can't find/get what they want feel the need to start threads in multiple sections putting vendors/company's down with out really doing there homework first

[discgolferlee]

Well first off I accidentally posted twice in this thread cuz I told me it didn't go through and someone moved the copied post. And secondly some of use have budgets to stick to unlike most people on here so yes it pissed me off. And ya my bad for not doing some research. We all make mistakes man

[slim_chance]

Hey I say mistakes happen. If you are big enough to admit it you are a better person for it. I have had my share of them so has everyone else.

I have a few nanotech batteries but have found a new place to order batteries from and so far am pleased. they are located in Illinois and I got my packs in about 3 days. shipping was only $4.00 also..... got a 25c 5000 mah hardcase pack for under $20 @ valuehobby.com

[nwnewbie]

I just ordered 4 2s packs with 2-3 day shipping $48.. from the us warehouse. Took a few days to process but it was because my bank said whoa.. whats going on.

So far I have had good experience with Hobby King, and I also went with a USA warehouse. I believe it was $7 dollars shipping on my Lipo. Also randomly for a different distributor, I asked for a free sticker to be included with my order the other day and when I opened the box...bang right on top...a new sticker. Is it much, no, but nice to see a little extra without saying "Our stickers cost .50 or $1.00" sort of thing. I like free stickers...I am a sucker that way.
