G+_Brent Burzycki Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Waiting 30 days for parts from China or the UK seems strange there are no US based large suppliers with decent prices, quality and realistic delivery times.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Kevin Marr Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 It all started as a gift... to get me hooked. Now I'm spending money for extra batteries, a gimbal a camera. When will it all stop?! The worst part is that the pushers were my own kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Barry Brown Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 HobbyKing has warehouses in the US. They ship fast. But they have fewer items in stock. There are LOTS of other U.S. vendors. Due to the growth of interest in quads lately, lots of suppliers are out of stock of popular items. Unfortunately, that means ordering from several places to get what you need. I've settled on about 5 vendors to get my stuff. And, yeah, packages arrive several times a week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Taylor Graham Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Rotorgeeks is located in Toronto. I get my props there, they make their way to the north east in 3 days. Multirotor superstore is also US based, as is getFPV. I have a big list on my other computer.. I'm sure there are some im forgetting. Some things you just have to order from china/japan/singapore. My quad parts shipped from 5 different countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Brent Burzycki Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Barry Brown Care to share those vendors? Which is a loaded question because sharing will only help those vendors run out of gear you want to purchase... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Michael Heinz Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I find it endlessly amusing that Hobby King's "East Coast Warehouse" is in Arkansas... That said, I'm hoping that a lot of their inventory problems are due to the shipping strike in LA. For other sources, http://www.getfpv.com has a lot of gear; they're in Florida.

G+_The Grimm Perspective - Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 That Tarot 250 is very cool looking. I've had it on one of my Amazon wishlists for a while now. Hope to see some pics of your build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Jeff Brand Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 After my CX-10's front LEDs stopped working I popped the top and found a broken SMD that seems to have been more important. Now it won't bind... I'm in the same place as you: quad-less and waiting for shipping from China. BTW Banggood is starting to offer shipping from the US, so that should help..
