Mine came from overseas. I have the customs stamp on it and it is dated the day I ordered it. All paper work from UPS also states the same.

The chargers I've bought from the USA warehouse, delivered (S&H included) have been more expensive that what I would've paid to buy and ship them from Hong Kong. The diff was almost $10 on a $35 charger.

You're paying for that time difference, its not free. But 14days std S&H as opposed to 5 days is a big diff as well.

Hey guys good news!
HobbyKing is opening a warranty center in the USA on September 15th! I think this will put a lot of customers more at-ease to order in case of bad LiPos and such
