[cactus]

What kind of shipping time have you guys experienced into the US? I'm in Colorado and I got a "posted" status last Monday.

Depends on how u ship. I usually choose EMS shipping and average about 5 to 7 days shipping.
If you chose EMS then you can track your order from "your account".
Usually you can expect delivery in 2 more days once it reaches USA.


The quickest delivery was 4 days flat.

I went with the regular airmail option. It was 3 dollars for 100 grams. I noticed I did not see a tracking number. No big fuss, just trying to get an idea of when I can expect it here.

[cactus]

Who do they use for delivery in the US?

[cactus]

I found this in the postage table:

Air Mail : 6-25 Days transit time.

That answers my question for the range, but was wondering what others are getting these in.

[akdude47]

It seems to take about 1 to 1.5 weeks for me to get things via airmail.

Usually takes two weeks for my orders to arrive and they are delivered by US post office.

Two weeks or so from order to delivery, to Houston, Tx.

Thanks guys.

Thought I would let you know that I got a order today via airmail that was posted last Tuesday our time.

It varies quite a bit, and often it has nothing to do with UH. I've had orders take from 5 days to 3 weeks. The three week order was slow getting filled, but also got held up in customs for over a week. Other orders were sluggish to be processed by Hong Kong Post. Sometimes everything falls into place and you get it in less than a week. On average, the times from order placement to arrival are between 7 and 10 days. The time it takes UH to fill and ship orders has improved noticeably in the past couple of months. But the other factors are still pot-luck.

hmmm. I placed an order the 16th. dispatched on 18th.
nothing yet...
First order, just wanted to test the waters for overseas orders.

the prices sure are tempting. I'm hoping they do me right. I will be happy if they show up in the 6-25 day window. I will pay more next time for faster shipping though.

We say;
6 to 30 days for Air Mail.
10 to 30 days for Registered Air Mail
3-4 days for EMS

[cactus]

Our local USPS is slower than other places we have lived, so I won't be surprised if it's a few days behind normal time.

Got all my stuff today. Quite happy.

Well my part came in today. The motor looks good but the Esc dos not look like the one I ordered. I ordered this one https://www.unitedhobbies.com/UNITEDHOBBIES/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=659

What showed up was a TowerPro Mag 8 12amp. Weight is 9 grams. No documentation on cell counts or anything. Anyone know if this is even a brushless esc?

[kit]

If it has 3 wires going to the motor it is a brushless ESC. The Hextronik ESC doesn't come with docs either, but check the reviews under that link you gave above.

[cactus]

Ok, I found Tower Pro's website. Had some specs on the ESC and a minimal programming guide. Just wierd that I would get this one. Can't find any user reviews here or on Google.

[akdude47]

I think all the cheaper Hextronic ESCs are made by Towerpro, or are the same as Towerpro. I don't know if Towerpro actually makes them or is a vendor.

Shipping time to FL (large box, hotpiont ep plane and some other goodies) 4 days! 5 days total from order to my house. Extremely impressed.

[Wind_of_Change]

I placed an order on the 17th of Jan, it posted in a couple days, sent registered mail. Another order on 25th, posted next day, sent registered mail. Did a third order Feb 1st, sent EMS express. They all showed up (I'm in Utah) at the same time on February 3rd, a Saturday.

I placed an order January 29th, it shipped the 30th and I received it here in GA today, the 6th of Feb. Not too bad as far as I'm concerned. :)

I received two orders today that I placed about 1 and 1.5 weeks ago. registered airmail.

[rc crashburn]

I got email notification that my order was dispatched from the UH warehouse on Feb 6th and I am waiting on it still, today is the 15th day from when it went out... since it can take up to 30 days I am thinking it should be here any week now :rolleyes:

[rc crashburn]

It did take 17 days to receive my "in stock" order, so overall I am happy because of their excellent prices and only $3.00 shipping for less than 100 gram small orders. :)
