Same here! They could be shipped inside protective box as they did before.Does not make any sense that carriers would change their rules on a daily or weekly basis.Maybe BG has enough business and is not interested in selling more to a large base of customers,if they would want to they would find a way to ship them as they did not too long ago.Only some 5 weeks ago I ordered 8PCS of 30Qs and they arrived just fine without any problems and then suddenly same exact item cannot be ordered again?
i cant order 18650 or 26650 and those type of batteries from gearbest or banggood, also to me makes no sense that some countries can ship and some not… i think is just they are too lazy to pack the batteries proper, if they did most countries would accept it. is not like those batteries explode on a daily basis just proper package of those is required and maybe BG or GB dont want that extra job on their hands but they would earn more $$ u think no….
i bought some stuff from dutch nkon instead u guys should do same.
’’
packed like that should be ok inside a small box or so? then they cant short cut or anything if u cover the + and -.
Mortuus: I do not think the problem has to do with packaging, but rather with the restrictions of air transport and the availability of stock from warehouses that can carry out the shipment.
At least for the U S, battery shipping changes weekly if not more often. A few months ago they wouldn’t ship 18650’s to me in California at all, then three or four weeks ago I ordered 4 30Q’s in the plastic box and they were shipped unregistered for free. I just checked, and it now says they can only ship to me for $2.50 “via air parcel register”.
Maybe if you check back in a couple of days it will say something different?
I am in Australia, and I was able to order 4 30Q from BG on 19/09, but a week later, all batteries on the BG (and GB for that matter) are no longer available to be ordered for shipping to Australia.
Same, i never got to order any at all for myself yet, (except for a set i was supposed to blow up doing destructive tests on, and if i do that i don’t have any cells for the Q8.
