I know alot of peeps here have purchased their batteries from Hobbyking.com. What is the estimated ship time from time of purchase to actual ship date? Reason I ask is because i placed and order a few days ago all the parts where in stock and they have received there money but my ordering is still processing. Just wondering if this was normal process or should i be concerned and contact them?

They take about 3 weeks. I have ordered from them a lot and they are always worth the wait

I have had things I ordered on a Sunday afternoon arrive on Wednesday, less than 3 days from Honk Kong.

I have also had things take 3 weeks. Though to be honest it showed sitting in customs for over a week.

If you picked EMS shipping, it is faster. From the date I clicked the button to ship has been about 3 days. From the time I clicked the button to my door has been about 7 work days. That is of course with the EMS higher rate shipping.

In my experience, choosing the cheapest shipping option (never ordered from US warehouse, never had the opportunity), if the item(s) was in stock, always within a day or 2 of 14 days to my door.

Well, since you're going into the Chinese New Year, you can add a couple of weeks to the delivery time. Just a heads up.

Ya I sent them an email asking why it has not shipped few hours later i get a reply your items have just shipped so its all good. I shipped it regular air mail i just dont see the value in EMS shipping considering it still could get held up in customs, but any way my batteries should arive long before i complete my build so all is good thanks for the input everyone.
