Hobby King now uses Swiss postal mail services ( i have no idea why) and have been told it has something to do with the shipping to the West Coast instead of coming through customs on the East coast. It can now take up to two weeks to get to New York and then the item may sit in customs for 10 days before being release. Can you say ''Homeland Security''?
It seems strange to have shipments hop skip across Asia and Europe rather than straight across the Pacific, but whatever works I guess.
