There are a few more choices for US people. Mountain Electronics and Vruzend and Orbtronic for example. Pretty much every major 18650 distributor in the US is in my battery database.

I am also a returning customer there. (/store/1382210)
Also add Lucky Electronics Store, it is very similar. (/store/1191644)
BlueSwordM, when you use AliExpress URLs, please remove the part right from the ? mark, including the ? as well. That spm labeled stuff is for handling some user preferences (probably language settings as well).
I remember that Liitokala thread and appreciate all your input there as well as taking the time to put this together for us. It’s so hard to find trustworthy sites these days and it’s people like you and forums like BLF that make the internet a better place.
Thanks for compiling these lists. As I venture out into new types of cells and am buying more high-performance lights, it’s good to have reputable sources out there to choose from.
Thanks BlueSwordM. Nevertheless, a couple remarks:
Europe is a multitude of nations, this means there's little consensus in this shipping thing. Customers from nations like Spain, France, Germany and others can buy from FastTech or other asian sources because of railway shipping and TNT-PostNL. However, if we are to name each country and list all possible sources this can really become hard to maintain and turn out into a mess. This can be alternatively done by making a listing of sellers/retailers/sources and specify where they do ship, and please allow all of you to amend here with your contributions.
Nice thread Blue! That VRUZEND site is very interesting & it looks like they are INTERNATIONAL also.

Edit: This appears to me to be an excellent resource of places to buy from. Barkuti mentioned that it my or may not apply to some countries in Europe. But as he also stated, it would be a huge undertaking to list each country individually.
That, as far as I am concerned; is where the individual buyer does his or her homework for their particular country. While you have provided the basic list of suppliers, it will be up to the buyer to determine if they do indeed ship to their particular country.
Then hopefully they will share that info here & you can add it where appropiate, if you so desire.
I will add bto (battery trade office). Honestly I don’t know they are sending in Europe, but since they have an English version of the site they probably send. https://www.bto.pl/en/default.b2c.aspx
