HobbyKing Shipping Cost Comparison

Unread post by Entropist » Fri Jul 30, 2010 6:50 pm

Out of nothing but curiosity, I plotted the shipping costs versus weight and the cost per gram versus weight for the shipping options at Hobby King. Caution, the latter has a log scale to make it easier to see. I think the lesson is to buy at least 2 kg - most wives will understand this logic.

We here at HEFA use a different scale...

From HK, 6 x 2200 mAH 3S Turnigy Lipos + shipping = $78.00 (no tax) US dollars

Local, 2 x 2200 mAh Turningy 3S Lipos + Tax = $65.00 Canadian

Like the "Sham-Wow" guy says, "It's a no brainer!"

:D
