I'm in the USA.
I have only 13 orders with HobbyKing since Feb. 2009
The most expensive only $66 SHIPPED.
The cheapest, $12.45 SHIPPED.
I always use paypal with my credit card as let VISA refund my money if I have a problem (but I have not).
Servos, batteries, props (but not any more*), motors, ESCs, heat shrink tubing, hardware, ...
Always use slooooooow shipping. I'm never in a hurry.
Only had 2 problem but they were both fairly resolved and not too slow.
It took a few e-mails to show them they had a problem but they found it, apologized and got it to me.
I'm not happy that they have raised their item shipping weight over the years I have ordered.
That's why I no longer order my *GWS electric props from them.
I'm happy that they now have a USA warehouse with reasonable shipping for models.
I have never purchased a bigger box model from them but at USA warehouse $14 shipping I will soon.
I find that there are cheaper places for many of their parts in certain circumstances.
When I find better sources, I use those better sources.
