Bye bye HobbyKing??

[V0RT3X]

We are now trialing a private courier that will ship parcels under 1kg to Europe in 4 days and at the same price as Registered Air mail.
Thats around $18US to post 1kg to Europe in 4 days!
We hope to have this new service confirmed in the next 14 days.

We have already begun trialing this new service with many european orders, and to see what the tracking details look like take a look below;

As you can see, the courier service travels via Singapore, then via SwissPost to Europe and then via private courier to your door.
This type of service is treated as standard mail, just like Registered Air Mail. So customs is a non-issue.
