Help getting batteries.

Have not been on in a while - hopefully this fits here :-)

First how is everyone doing?

Okay, I've been away from the hobby for a couple years due to life circumstances and location.

Anyways, looks like my batteries are toast and there appears to be restrictions about ordering and shipping to my location (Alaska). Does anyone know a hobby shop that will ship to Alaska. Amazon is no luck and neither is Tower Hobbies. No one has the offer for ground shipping.

Thanks!

Dumb question, but....don't they have RC stores in Alaska? Or are you out in the boonies?

Maybe you have family/friends who can buy batteries and then ship it to you?

Good question. Unfortunately we probably know the answer. I used to know another that lived there on another forum. It’s was before all the shirts restrictions.
