WTF!

There is supposed to be a seattle warehouse being built... Yeah!

I don't think HK Post banned shipment of lipos for their own safety... It must have been from complaints or governmental reasons.

If you have a lot of time on your hands check this link out. It is a little argument and a story about how one guy didn't get his batteries in time, filed a paypal dispute, went to the post office... It might have been a factor to the shipping controversy.

Air transport delay, now resolved.
The previous weeks airport delays were due to increased parcel screening. Thankfully these delays are now behind us and we can focus on clearing the order backlog.
For those customers with a parcel thats not showing a tracking number correctly, or non at all, please do not be concerned, this may be due to a shortage in EMS/Air Parcel forms.
Because of this, your parcel may arrive before the tracking numbers register on the website.

We plan to be back to 24hr ship-out times within 2 days.
Thanks again for your patience and understanding during this period.

Good news :)

Time will tell!

What happened to the US warehouse they used to list on their site? They actually had one, not just the future Seattle one. It looks like they're already finding work-arounds, but the higher use of the US (or German for our European friends) warehouses seems like a logical solution.

So Is it safe to start ordering lipos again?

Yes Mike nearly always ships next day... Errmm team driver ?!?!? Did you read your team driver contract ;)

Woot my tracking number now works and it looks like my lipos should be in canada tonight

There is still hope :) !!

I was ordering a whole bunch of stuff last night, well, about 3:45AM this morning...lots of servos (micro, mini, & standard), 4ch & 6ch HK 2.4gHz stick radios & extra receivers, smallish & mediumish Turnigy Brushless plane & boat ESCs for future custom foamie airplane & boat use, an HK 100A Car ESC (Upgrade Version), a Turnigy 35A Car ESC, two Turnigy 18A Car ESCs, a KB20-30-4200kV motor, a KB20-30-5200kV motor, a KB20-30-6200kV motor, a KB20-40-4200kV motor, a KB20-40-4800kV motor, a KB28-47-4900kV motor, a KB28-57-4800kV motor, and a few batteries. It was going to be a huge order, and I made sure that everything was in stock with plenty of quantities, but when I tried to check out, the PayPal option kept timing out on me and I was never able to actually place the order. I should have just used the regular credit card checkout using my PayPal Debit Card, but I was just too tired and went to bed instead. I'll try again later.
