Canadian Shipping Lipo Battery

[Dipstick]

Hey fellow Canucks, I need some replacement 2s lipos. I have been ordering from Wholesale Hobbies in Edmonton, but they are out of stock a lot now. I tried ebay and Amazon, but orders get cancelled with my po box address...do they have some special shipping requirements? Can you folks get them to a house delivery in Canada?

I would suggest trying GreatHobbies website. I have ordered most of my lipo batteries (and LOC kits) from them. I don’t think there was any issue delivering to PO Box using the standard Canada post free shipping.

Hi Bruce

I am lucky I live in a urban area so lithium deliveries are not an issue but come with boxes indicating batteries inside, even if they are part of a device.... Lithium batteries are classed as dangerous goods.

Ship them to a friend in Lethbridge, probably not an issue then.

I'm very late to this party, but there's no issues with shipping LiPos to a post office box. They just need the sticker on the box indicating that there are lithium batteries enclosed so that they only go on ground deliveries. Air shipment of lithium packs is not permitted. Some places just don't ship to PO boxes as a matter of policy. Great Hobbies will ship to PO boxes, however.

I ended up getting some to my place, customs was a bit of a hit...
