I also ordered a battery charger that was broken out of the box. Unless you really have to and can wait on shipping, then go with AM.
The trick with Hobbyking is that you have to specify that you're shopping the USA warehouse. Their site defaults to the overseas (China) warehouse, which takes forever for stuff to get here.

Never had any quality issues with them, though I bought my LiPo's and charger elsewhere.
