Hi Guys,

Anybody wants to sell their lipo batteries ? Looking for the above configuration and new preferred.

UPDATE - Do not order lipo batteries from hobbycity, It seems there is a new change of rule and they are not allowing lipo batteries out of hongkong by their normal post.

Not sure of another courier..

cheers

atul g.

as per an online chat with their support group...

They have only mentioned that anything sent by hongkong post containing lipo batteries are sent back to them but they are arranging to send them "maybe" by swiss post.. 

of course a long wait continues..

According to one LHS (a good one), things would get worsen once HK is taken over by China later this year. We might end up bidding a farewell to them and many other HK based e-Bay sellers.

I too received a LiPo from Hong Kong (DealExtreme) just yesterday. No hassles, received  it within 14 days of shipping from HK.

The lipo war with HK started long back and I think this lipo war is slowly settling down already. I have also ordered lipos, but one item was back ordered. Just wondering how it goes. Hope all goes well when it gets shipped.

Wow!! My last packet with 2x 3S 2200mAh ordered from HK  and shipped thru Swiss post is still at large. Whatever, but HK shipping sucks most of the time... only who beats them is DealXtreme.

hope things change..

Hello Atul,
So your parcel came to India and it just went back? If so, then did you get any information or reason from the authorities that why is it sent back?

How did you concluded that the rule you are talking about has been passed?
And if anyone's parcel will be going back, I should also mention that you will be charged for the shipping.
Indian Post will send back the parcel. When it is recieved by HobbyKing, they will inform you about the parcel return and give you store credits for the parcel cost minus the shipping (From India to Hong Kong, charged by Indian Post- which is paid by hobbyKing when they recieve the parcel).

I think you should get a letter from the authorities that your parcel is being sent back and you should get time to defend your case....

then it means that there was some issue regarding the address. Sometimes there is a problem regarding the customs declaration at Hong Kong airport itself. Because there are strict rules at Hong Kong itself.
If it had been in India, you would have got a notice or a call from the authorities for sure. Once it reaches India, the status is available on IPS Web Tracking system. So if any status is available, then it surely went back from India and the indian authorities are responsible. If not then it means that there was some issue from either Hobbycity or Hong Kong Post. You can check Mumbai post or foreign post office for your region. They might have some information.

Whatever you do, please do not go for a refund request at HobbyCity straight away. They do not take it in a positive way and will refund you partially, so  no point giving your money to them just for nothing... Just ask them the status and request them to send them again. My parcel containing 6-7 Lipos reached Mumbai Post on 10July and is being sent to me without any hastle.

This is the reply that I got back from hobbycity..

Dear customer,

Thank you for your email.

Please note that if your order was sent back due to large batteries, we will refer to other shipping company such as Swiss post to send your order. And it will take one more week  for transit compare with the normal shipment.

If you have any further questions, please don't  hesitate to contact us!
 
Sincerely yours,

Jenny

An Update -

My parcel is on its way and is in Singapore at the moment. So not sure how many more days but at least its on the way by swiss post.

HC is surely focusing on customer service. All my emails were promptly replied too..

Kool..So there you go..

All Is Well..
