Title: Has anyone ordered from HobbyCity ? Post by: gauravag on July 14, 2009, 04:22:48 PM Guys,
I came across this website : http://www.hobbycity.com They seem to stock some good electric stuff ( A123 batteries that i was interested in ) . Now the cool thing there seems to be that they give you the option on what you want to put in the custom declaration form .. Ie Replacement Parts , Hobby Parts etc. . Let me know if anyone of you ordered stuff from here, and your experience .. Thanks Gaurav Title: Re: Has anyone ordered from HobbyCity ?

I had ordered the A123 battery packs - 6.6V 2200mAH and a couple of single single cells. Got everything in great condition and well in time too. These A123s would go in my 50CC gasser, 1 for the ignition, and 2 for the RX . Would post pictures here as well. -Gaurav Title: Re: Has anyone ordered from HobbyCity ?

Title: Re: Has anyone ordered from HobbyCity ? Post by: gauravag on August 04, 2009, 01:02:38 PM Total order was for $197 ( including basic shipping ) .
Had them under declare, and note the contents as "Replacement parts" . No custom fee was charged, and the small parcel delivered to my doorstep today. They did take 7 days to ship the order though, but once shipped, it came through in 12 days. -Gaurav Title: Re: Has anyone ordered from HobbyCity ?

congrats man {:)} even i have ordered two lipo batteries from them on the 30th so i guess i will have to wait for a month to get the batteries.. While ordering i kept the form the way it was.. my order was for $50.. Do you think i will get charged for the customs.. cheers atul g. Title: Re: Has anyone ordered from HobbyCity ?

Don't worry Atul I am 99.999999 percent sure that you won't have to pay any customs duty ( speaking from my experience). I too am waiting for my order of a brushless in- runner and a battery pack for my Greatplanes Electrostreak, to arrive. good luck Rao Title: Re: Has anyone ordered from HobbyCity ?
