Title: Hobby King shipping
Post by: wollins on July 27, 2015, 09:44:55 AM
Guys ... is there any difference in delivery time between regular or EMS express? I've heard stories that it may be just as slow as regular even though you're paying more? What's been your experiences?

Hi Colin, I tried EMS express and it still took 3.5 weeks (most likely stuck at the border), however Eric had a bit better luck and got it within 1-1/2 weeks.

Andre recommended that I set up a FEDEX account and my total fees on a $180 CAD lipo order was $5
