Which warehouse did you order it from, what shipping method did you use? I usually order LiPo's from the USA warehouse which takes 3 to 4 days to arrive. I try and keep all my orders from Hong Kong below the weight cutoff and have them shipped UPS which again takes 3 to 4 days. Recently I placed an order with HK on a Monday from the international warehouse using UPS 3 day and also placed an order from one of the two big blowhards in Champaign, IL on the same day. My order from China arrived on Thursday, the order from Illinois arrived on Friday.

If you just ordered your going to be caught in the CNY holiday mess and it takes the Hong Kong warehouse a few weeks to get caught back up with order shipping regardless of the shipping method you chose.

It can be a pain ordering anything from any online store in China and Hong Kong over the Chinese New Year (CNY),as someone else has said it can take a couple of weeks for the Chinese/Hong Kong postal services to get over the back log of post.

I got caught out with the CNY when i first started to order my RC gear from China/Hong Kong a good few years ago now,to be honest it wasn't as bad as i first thought it was going to be,i did remember to make sure after that to make a mental note about it though,plus there has been a couple of threads/posts about it here on rcgroups which can help remind us of it.

Still i hope you get your parcel soon and i very much doubt it will take a month to get to you,another tip is when on the Hobbyking main website page,is to click on the news tab at the top of the page,as they have an article with their opening and closing times over the CNY which they normally put up well before the holiday,plus you can find some other RC/HK related articles in there which can be interesting.

Yeah the over seas lipo shipment situation sucks at the moment.. Hopefully the couriers will return to the original shipping methods for ems with lipos and we can get these things in days, instead of weeks. I think you will like the pack and it will be well worth the wait. I had one that I ran in a buggy and it performed very well.
