More likely one of these. Mooch rates it at 20A

Thanks, eas! Ended up getting 6 x 21700 Sofirns for ~$23 to use in the upcoming PL47 :+1:

16

Has anyone gotten theirs yet?

I got a weirdo tracking number, “DDU”+bunchanumbers, never saw that before, no idea what carrier, the recommended 17track site doesn’t even load(!), and nothing else I threw at it shows anything, either.

Asked about it on AX, just got an unrelated salesblurb answer. Getting a bit concerned…

Hmmmm.

17

Product description on the page lists these at 12000mA max dischrage rate.

18

Not yet.

This is what my order looks like atm:

And my tracking shows THIS

I’m not worried, its only been a week and a half since ordering and its a busy postal time in China. I don’t expect to see my order for another few weeks at least.

19

Also not worried, they seemed pretty legit when asking a non-shipping question. Also, aren’t they the official Sofirn battery Ali store, as per the OP?

I didn’t get any tracking number from Hank even though it was over the necessary $ amount to get tracking, but my D4/D4S still got here in 17 days from China.

20

I think battery shipments are generally smuggled into the country by way of trained dolphins. So we won’t get tracking information until after their cargo has been dragged onto shore and into a truck on the next moonless night.

21

Thanks eas, that explains it.

22

I order this but not yet arrived need to wait for another 4 days.

23

My six 21700’s came this weekend in their slightly undersized cases lol :+1:

24

My tracking says - “Nov 21- Departed shipping partner facility, USPS awaiting item” Could be a while.

25

Mine are still “USPS Currently Awaiting Package.” I guess that’s progress though.

26

I’m sure you two will be getting them soon. The Zanflare F1 I ordered 11.11 from Madeline’s Ali store for ~$12, on the other hand… no idea, not even an emailed shipping notice yet.

Hope you don't freak out with the shipping thing in AliExpress. In my experience some orders from some sellers may take a few days to ship. I believe this is understandable but certain folks overreact with this, which is not good. When you shop for cheap free shipping stuff on eBay it often happens the items are reported as “shipped” in a fairly brief timeframe, something which at times makes me suspicious. However, since the provided tracking numbers for these items are fake, there's no way to know this (this way, that is).

This is about realizing how much a shipment can take to get ready for the shipping services. I am overall happy with the AliExpress thing. FastTech, for example, usually takes a nice deal of days to get an order shipped once a it has a few items, as a rule.

Do you want to be provided with faithful order information? Do you deserve to be provided with faithful order information? The latter ≠ the former.

Cheers ^:)

Carrier is Brucargo/BPost International http://www.bpost2.be/bpostinternational/track_trace/find.php?lng=en

The vast majority of batteries that I buy in AE are sent by that means.

29

Kewl, tnx!

30

Thanks for the reassurance, Barkuti! :smiley:

31

Tracking shows mine were delivered today, but I’m not home so I won’t get to test them until this weekend.
16 days from order to receipt is pretty good from an Aliexpress seller.

32

And USPS is still awaiting my package.

Yes, that “40A” means 4000mAh somehow…
You see it on Liitokala “26650 50A” too.
It’s not the maximum discharge rate.

By the by, 4000mAh is not impressive for a 21700 either, unless it’s actually a high drain cell.
