Litium battery outside the USA? - trondkj - 11-29-2016
How can (or where can) we in Europe buy a similar Li-Po battery as the one you sell from your store? All the stuff I have ordered so far, are delivered directly from China, so why only US?

I may be wrong, but I believe that the change of qualification of Li-Po batteries from 'low' to 'moderate shipping risk' and more stringent regulations issued by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) (See: UN3480/PI965) are to be blamed.

Couldn't surface mail be an option, then?

I'm no shipping/ logistics expert mate. Could very well be for all I know ...

In the U.S. they can be shipped FedEx ground, or UPS. The problem is putting those silly things in the air.
Obviously the only way to efficiently get stuff to many placed in Europe is by air... so; rats.
