I'm really scratching my head on this one but certainly not complaining.
Wednesday evening I ordered 3 Turnigy LIPO batteries from Hobby King from their
global (China) warehouse. The US Hobby King warehouses no longer ship LIPO batteries to Canada
due to new regulations. My past experiences ordering from Hobby King were waiting around a month to recieve my parcels comming from China. This morning the doorbell rang and Fedex had a parcel for me.
On the shipping label the origin was China. I paid about 20 bucks for shipping more than the batteries were worth but wow! There is a hobby shop a half hour from me and I bet they couldn't ship that fast.(but they don't have the lipos that I require)
And this my friends is why I fear China will be the super power of the world one day.:2:
