I placed about $150 order with them on Saturday the 7th of Feb. It shipped Air Mail (registered). I got good quick confirmations that the item shipped on the 12th from the Hong Kong post. I have not received my order yet, but it does say that it takes between 6-39 days, so i try as best as I can to wait patiently. I should have done my research and paid the extra $5 to do EMS express.
I'll update here when I get my shipment.

The extra EMS charge is well worth doing, as you've done.

Being in MN your package will take a could of additional days, given the routing from the hub... but you'll still find it quick... and NO it will not take 39 days for you!

As for the LHS/EMS arguement.

Even with the high EMS shipping fees, I pay FAR FAR less for items from H.C. often of BETTER quality than what I get from Tower.

Case in point...

I purchased EIGHT 5000mAh 20C 14.8v battery packs for around $54.00/ea from H.C.

ONE similiar pack from Tower is over $186.00!

I paid $30.00 shipping for the whole lot.

So for the price of two packs from Tower I purchased EIGHT from H.C.

Not bad at all!

I pay 19.00 for 25C 2200mAh 11v LiPo's from H.C. as well and they test out to 30C, 35C burst!
