Mike,

A couple of months ago I ordered some batteries from Hobby City
and some odds and ends from Tower Hobby and the batteries from
Hong Kong got here a week sooner than the other stuff from Illinois.
If you look at their tracking information your stuff will change trucks
probably 6 or 7 times before it gets to you. (If it gets to you).
Almost three weeks to get a piece of 6"x 6" carbon fibre dragonplate shipped
from New York. Kind of ridiculous.
