how long does it take HobbyKing orders to go through Customs once in the U.S.? My order has been there since last week waiting on Customs Inspection.

This is my first HobbyKing order and this wait is rediculous.
It depends on what you ordered.

I had one shipment hung up at customs for almost two weeks.

I had ordered 14 heavy 5000mAh 14.8v 25C LiPo packs.

I'm sure that this raised flags at customs, and any attempts to X-Ray the package probably had the officers thinking the LiPo's were bomb materials... not to sound funny.

After that I learned to split up my LiPo orders.

BTW: Last Friday I place an order w/EMS shipping, I received it yesterday ( Thursday ) of the same week.
