Where does everyone buy their LiPo's these days? I always used Hobbyking but it seems they have moved all battery sales to the international warehouse now.

@danny boy the battery I bought was a Lipo TX pack and was £15 odd for the battery. I checked my order and it actually came from the "EU Warehouse" with postage being £3.72.
I had two options with the postage from there with one being £3.72 (not tracked) and the other £35 odd! (tracked/insured). I risked the cheaper option and it was fine, no import charges.
Just checked ~ The same battery is now only available from the "International Warehouse/Honk Kong" and it offers me two delivery options. Fedex @£25.62 and UPS @£27.11.
Ridiculous so looks like I won't be buying batteries from them again.

Just been poking around the HobbyKing Facebook page. It looks like they want to ship to the UK from the EU warehouse, but they cannot acquire the correct paperwork to do so due to Brexit (they say they can't get an EORI number. Full disclosure, I have no idea what that is). Hopefully this is something they can sort out and EU warehouse order may become possible again. 🤞

Great info @danny boy . Agree it would be great if they could get it sorted as I've always been happy with the service from Hobbyking plus I love Turnigy batteries which they do.
