Hi all,
I'm looking to add a few lipo batteries to my collection and I am looking for some information/advice on the purchase; I'm in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
I am looking to order from HobbyKing unless there are other options these days. I entered in a mock order for 4 - 6s 5000 mah batteries and their system seemed to allow this type of shipment to my address (listed as hazardous). The questions I have are:
- Has anyone had their order held at the border due to the size of the packs (I know there is a limit on battery capacity and shipping within Canada)?
- I am assuming there will be an import tax added to the total?
- Any other hidden costs?
I do have another option of an american family member who has two residences both in Kingston and the US. This family member has had some items shipped to the US PO box or Connects(spelling) shipping box which is a 45 minute drive and a wait at the border.
Thanks for the advice.
Jeremy
