HobbyKing Packaging for Shipping

So I've ordered some stuff from hobbyking from DE warehouse.
Today I've received an email that my order is on hold. Credit card picture required. (Not with the full numbers just the last 4).
So they want me to send them that picture via email.

Did anyone had this problem? I don't know what to do now...
Next time I'm ordering with paypal.

So it seems I have to ask for stickers after I have paid and before the order gets printed!

If you're desperate for stickers you can always print your own.. e.g.

Does This Sound right?

I went to make my first transaction with hobby king the other day, i bought a plane kit a transmitter and wire strippers, and the shipping came out to $60 so i said "um no!" went to towerhobbies website, ordered almost the same thing for $120 (HK's bill without shipping was $80) and since my order was over $100 i got half off on shipping which came out to a whopping $4.97...how is it possible for hobbyking to charge that much in shipping?

The size of the box it's being shipped in. The bigger the box the more the shipping. Since you ordered a plane from HK, that's why the shipping was so high. If you live in the USA, for cheap shipping make sure the plane or items you want to order are in the USA warehouse.

Oh well that makes sense i guess, on average, like now if i want to buy i similiar transmitter, and maybe a reciever or two from hobbyking, approx how much $$ we looking at?
