not really, I believe you place the order and they get it in hongkong,figure out where your located then ship to your zip from the US W.H....,I guess they figured out ppl were gettin pissed cuzz shipping took too long


humm just looking at the invoice that sez>>>>$6.98 shipping each bat and we bought 4 bats @ $23.95 thats $109.52 thats for 4 5000 25C bats, cant argue with that NO WAY NO HOW !! in these times you need the best deal you can !

hobbyking has also got warehouses in germany.
most of the time when you order from the german warehouse it is a bit more expensive.

and I support the cheapest online store

My LHS is a distributor for HK, same price as their US warehouses. He keeps a good stock of Turnigy, Zippy, and Blue lipos and some of their electronics. Shipping is a matter of driving down.

I personally don't like sending my money straight to China. I'd rather my money stayed in the US economy. It's the same reason I buy Proline tires; made in the USA.

So you no longer have to select items that are specifically in the US warehouse? I know before they had some items that were labeled "USA Warehouse" in their title, and they were a few bucks more expensive. That's great if they started stocking more merchandise in the US warehouse, I will definitely order from them more often

You still have to search for us warehouse, as far as your local hobby shop being a distributor their are none, which means he has to warranty your battery if it goes bad.

The only way I will buy from them again is if people consistently get their merch in a timely manner and if everything I want is not listed as "out of stock". I'm still pissed that it took 2 months to get a battery. It didn't even ship until I complained after 1 month.
