Thanks Don! Please keep us posted.

Yes, keep us posted, because those IMR looks very "suspicious". They seem normal cells (not IMR)

But they are a lot cheaper than the AW ones, so I thought I'd give them a try.

This thing is good priced compared to others:

They can be found also in alibaba: http://e-young.en.alibaba.com/contactinfo.html

They have earned the "gold supplier 1st year", which means [from alibaba site]: "To qualify for a Gold Supplier membership, a supplier must undergo and pass authentication and verification procedures conducted by a reputable third-party security service provider appointed by Alibaba.com. Once approved, Gold Supplier members are authorized to display the icon to demonstrate their authenticity, which means they are a legitimate entity in existence whose identity has been verified."

I think I'll try my luck with them with a couple of UV keychain leds and an XTAR WP2 charger.

Will report the results when (and if...) these items arrive.

Thanks Haggai, please do let us know how they are.

They still doesn't replied me, but I think it's because of the Chinese New Year

Whew, it was a real pain making this order...

Their site is terribly slow, but that's ok compared to the checkout process. I was successful only the fourth time! Tried twice in my regular Chrome browser, and once in Internet Explorer, and it failed in all three times in the "place order" stage, when it couldn't redirect to PayPal. After thinking for a couple of minutes it just emptied the cart and went back to shopping mode. Frustrating!

Only when I switched to incognito mode in Chrome was I able to complete the checkout.

I received an order number which was written on screen (no email yet, almost 20 minutes after paying, very weird), but now that I checked the "My Orders" section in their it says "You have placed no orders". PayPal however shows the transaction as "complete".

I'll mail them, hope they'll respond fast... if at all.

Not a very pleasant buying experience.

How did it go for you, Don? Does your "My Orders" show your order?

Oh, forgot to say - they forced registered air mail (that I wanted anyway, but there was no choice to not use this option), at the amount of 2.27$.

they have the ebay delight AA 1.38 cent light for 6.10cents ..so obviously all of there prices aren't good ..

come on over here i have lots of 1.28$ lights I'll sell for 6 bucks

You don't know about these guys till someone trys them ...

BUT you can do a domain search and see how long they've been in business and some basic company info I did that with cnQ goods when I first looked at them

If they went into business yesterday ..i'd tred lightly or try to swipe a few deals out of them if you feel like gambling .. either way .. good luck .. I'm interested .

I didn't bother registering so there's nothing to check. If nothing arrives in a few weeks then I'll chase it, I have the Paypal details.

oooh, that was fast - they just answered my mail, said they got the order, and asked what plug type I would like for my charger... And they promised to send me the car adapter too. nice!

It seems that the issue with "My Orders" is probably just a glitch.

How long is Chinese New Year holiday? I think they will back soon

Same here. Placed an order for Fenix E21, a second try were successful. I get PayPal confirmation, but "My Orders" section also says "You have placed no orders". Weird...

They replied me yesterday and apologized for the late reply

Just a tiny update - the XTAR WP2 went up to 15.18$.

Guess the 10.18$ was either promotional or a mistake.

The $5 extra is probably postage costs

They've shipped the cells I ordered on Wednesday on Saturday (Friday UK time). With a tracking number which will likely make it into the HK tracking system about the same time as the package arrives.

Looking good so far.

I just tried ordering a UV 'fauxton' from this website. While on their banner they claim to offer 'free shipping', I can't seem to avoid their 'registered mail' fee. Is there anyway to deselect this option?

False advertising in my opinion. I'm hesistant to buy from them...

I just had a look at their FAQ. There heaps of chinglish there to decipher, but I found this 'question' quite funny:

8. How is the quality? Do your electronic products catch on fire a lot?

A: We supplied our products to all over the world and got very good reputation from our clients. Our Quality is guaranteed.No li-ion battery catch on fire! It is very safe and stable of our batteries.

The registeration fee is compulsory, but no surprises otherwise.

My package was shipped about four days after I placed it, including weekend.

It is now in HKP, waiting to be shipped (for a week now, are they competing with DX for incompetence? :/ ).
