Uh oh new website looks like new pricing too. The 6s 3300 30c Batts went up about $5 a piece if I'm not mistaken. Dang! I need to order a few for the edge build..

What happened to epbuddy.com? I bet Gary's review got more than just me to switch to glacier and now I hope the prices don't get crazy. Can't wait to try the 3s 2200 in my slick and extra.. Just get this noreaster done with first.

As with many RC items, I suspect that some of the pricing on these batteries were "introductory" in nature, to help the Glaciers penetrate an already saturated LiPo market. That said, even at a modest 10% increase, I still feel like these are some of the best batteries out there.
I'm familiar with the behind the scenes info on Dales sourcing and development of these packs, and I can say they're second to none in terms of quality and performance in this price range.

I was half joking about the pricing and I completely understand why it would happen from a business perspective.

Based on your review and advice I bought the 4 3s packs. I'm going to buy 4 more 6s because of the customer service and not dealing with HK. I really am happy to pay the extra 10% to deal with great people based in the us.

ive been pretty luck that i havent had to buy 1 thing from HK in the past 1.5 yrs that ive been into RC. there has been times that i thought about it, but i just waited till i had the money saved up to purchase elsewhere. ive dealt with epbuddy a couple of times now , awesome customer service.
