Not directly related.. but I am in China at the moment..
Due to their internet censorship the Hobbyking Website is blocked here… funny as hell…
So is RCU and Youtube, but RC Groups works fine, go figure.
Just installed some VPN software and have access to everything again..

I read the OP's attachment. Customs guy said the packages were not the cause so there is really no way to know why it was rejected. I have never seen that before but the bigger question is, was it just Hobby King stuff or the entire container? Could it be for reasons other than customs, like insects or infectious microbes? Please let us know how this turns out, it will be interesting to see why the shipment was rejected.
There is a rumor circulating that they are either having problems with, or closing down the US warehouse in Tacoma. There is another thread on here where the OP said he was not able to buy anything from the US warehouse. I have seen several other threads with people saying the same thing. Anyone know about it?

I wanted to buy some covering from HK simply because I have read good things about it. But the US site refised to accept my credit card and I didn't even follow up as to why. I really don't care that much whether I buy from HK or not, but they really did refuse to accept a card I use all the time and have used many times since their refusal. Didn't try international warehouse.
