These seem to have been out of control for some time with very high outputs and missing agency approvals...

I haven't ordered from HK in probably 16 months.... partially due to shipping costs. Not sure about others.

Hi Brian,

I placed an order with the HK USA warehouse about a month ago and my shipment (with some LiPos) arrived by FedEx with no issues. However their prices have increased, for some products significantly.

Thanks for the update, Jeff! Those digital systems - I think from DJI - look really great but are expensive... $1170 + tax is not cheap at all!
