Well I got 4 of them. 2 of them are going into the easy star and then I figured they were cheap enough I might as well get 2 more for spares.

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.

My last order took a month to go through but they spell it out on their website so Ididnt sweat it. On big orders I will use registered mail so I can track the shipment.
I set up my wishlist with 2 pages, one for in-stock items and one for outs. It is interesting to watch the inventory go up and down, they sell a heckuva lotta stuff.

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.
