What is the point of this new regulation? Was there some kind of accident, or are the old people running the world just getting power hungry again?

So your saying if we order a 4s 5000 or a 5s 5000 . There should be no problem with them shipping it.

The packs you listed meet the requirement of being less than 100Wh and less than 20Wh for a single cell so they can be shipped internationally, but Hong Kong Post is saying they won't ship any lipos anymore, so you'd need to use another carrier still.

More than likely it's some gov't agency trying to protect us from ourselves because you know people in general are stupid and need big brother to think for us...

If it just applies to airmail & EMS, then it doesn't affect the regular HobbyCity shipping method at all (by boat), it will just take longer to get our batteries.

I just ordered 2 6s 5000mah batteries last week and got the EMS shipping

Am i going to end up getting screwed over because of this?

No. They are working on rerouting those packages by other means. It may take longer, but you should still get your order.

I hope so...cause if these bateries don't get to me my lst probobly wont get run at all :O

Hopfully they figure out away around this

I told everyone to rest assuredly, that things would be figured out in post #5.

Quite frankly I don't understand why there were any questions or discussions after I spoke.:intello:

HEY NOW.
What's wrong with scrupulous asians?


:rofl:

:intello::yipi:

It's those damned nitro people got together and done this!!! :whip:

Hmm, $18 for ~2lbs aint too bad, thats a pair of 4s lipos I'd say..

Eh, nitro people can't get nitro shipped unless its by expensive hazmat shipping. Thankful its not that.

Looks like they will work around the guidelines easily enough. At my company we have to ship chemicals all over the world, and there are quite a few regs how things get packaged, allowable amts and types of classifications and labelling.

I know of a particular idiot at another company who put a highly toxic chemotherapy drug (pure active ingredient, fatal in parts per billion amts) into a metal container, filled it w/ dry ice, and sealed it air tight, and left it in a shipping dept w/ a note to be sent out overseas for some reason. Basically he unwittingly built a large pipe bomb filled w/ poisonous biological agents, and he wanted to put in on a plane for a trip over the atlantic. Terrorists would be pissing in their pants to get a hold of something like this.

Fortunately it was found first by someone w/ a f'ing clue before it blew up, and somehow the guy still got his promotion that year. 0_o

Priceless!

I am not too concerned over all of this. They will find a way to keep their customers. They must make a boat load of profit from outside sells. Cutting that off is like kicking a man in the balls. They WILL find a way.
