Hobbyking dropped shipping costs
« on: August 11, 2010, 10:04:42 AM »
Hi,
Good news! Hobbyking dropped shipping costs on air mail packages up to 1kg :woohooguy: They also added 1.5kg airmail option. Air parcel still costs the same. But it is still a great news if you don't plan a huge shipment from them :130:

Awesome!  Thanks for the info P3!  I plan to take stock of all the wrecks and damage I will suffer at IRCHA this weekend and place another HK order when I get back next week  :130:  For sure I need some more 6S Nanno tech lipos, so if I just order one at a time and a few other odds and ends, maybe I can bag me some cheap shipping  :yesguy:

I believe they do have a US warehouse with limited items in it.  I have seen some batteries and chargers stocked in USA warehouse.

If you are looking through items it will show up as two different items and will say (USA Warehouse) or (DE Warehouse) by the name.  If you type USA Warehouse into the search box it will bring up a bunch of items, but again, stocks are either low or non existant.

Dude, this stupid MI legislature and gov made TXT while drive illegal this summer!  I hope we get a new gov soon and they toss it out.  Just stupid.  I usually eat, e-mail, and talk on the phone while moving from site to site.  Granted, I would not everyone doing it, but I think if you have successfully demonstrated your ability to divide your attention to operate in ATC and successfully navigate a plane to minimums on an IFR approach, you should be allowed to TXT and drive!   :211:

I'm working on my next HK cart.  Lot of the items I NEED are out of stock as usual  :bigsad:  No 500 blades, no 6S nanno-techs, no 250 3S nanno-techs.  I will be placing an order next Wed, so we'll see then how much if shipping has been reduced at all.  So far it does not look like it.
