Quick announcements:
Thank you for all of your support! This past week has been very busy for us.
The Efest cells are here! (10440, 16340, 18350) They will be available for sale later tonight or tomorrow morning.
LG ICR18650D1 are coming soon!
As always, we are looking for ways to better serve you.
I have a few questions for all of you:
1. Cases. Do you care about them? Would you rather have them be an “add on” rather than included? It would decrease the price per cell by around $0.20 if they were an “add on” vs. included in the price.
2. Shipping. I am planning on going to a weight based system, the minimum rate will be $1.89, with a maximum rate of $5.35. Prices will be adjusted so that they will be roughly the same for buying a single item (even in bulk), but if you want to mix and match different cells your order will end up being less expensive than the current system. Does this sound good to you?
3. Ordering format. I have a webstore up and running now which will be able to automatically calculate the shipping by weight and will allow you to pay directly via PayPal at checkout vs. the current invoice system. Quantity discounts will still be available. This will be ready to take orders this weekend. I want to offer two of you a 7% off coupon to the store if you would be willing to test the store by placing an actual order tomorrow afternoon and then sending me a message about any comments or potential issues you had. PM me if you are interested in doing this, the first two to PM me will get the offer.NO SPOTS AVAILABLE.
I like the lower prices and shipping according to what I buy.
I also don’t need the cases, bought a case for 12ga shot shells that holds 50 and another that holds 25, don’t reckon I’ll be needing the little cases for a while.
Daniel likes playing with em though, or enjoys tearing them up, or whatever…he enjoys the little boxes all the same.
The 50 count case is this one for $10.94 + shipping (shipping is crazy low, these are made in Ohio!) and the 25 count box is this one , at an unbelievable $4.28!!. Perfect size for 18650’s, I’ve got all the way down to 14500’s in mine.
I wouldn't buy the 2-cell cases on their own, but gladly pay a little extra to have them included. In other words, not getting the cases wouldn't be worth saving only $0.40.
I really dig getting toys in 3 days vs 3 weeks, looking forward to shopping on your website. The boxes sold me on the battery purchase, practically eliminates buyer/seller grief over damage.
The webstore is up in running. It’s super ugly. It’s missing tons of descriptions. It is almost entirely devoid of pictures. These negative aspects will change in the near future, but what won’t change is my commitment to keep costs as low as possible! To help ease the blow of having to use the haphazard site, I am offering a 2% discount code “1ST2TRY” which is valid until 11/17/13 at 11:00 PM PST.
I’ll admit that the site is currently lacking finesse, but I’ve been burning the midnight oil trying to find the time to get it to the point of functionality. I will be working throughout the weekend and next week to complete product listings, add photos, and squash bugs. Speaking of bugs, if you have any major problems with the site, please PM me.
Efest IMR 10440, 16340, & 18350 are now available! Check them out at the store!
Looks great. I like the fact that you included unprotected/protected in the mini description; that way I don’t have to search to find a hint of whether or not it is protected.
The beta looks better than most chinese vendors.
Also I’d love to see Efest 14500 IMR in that list if at all possible. I’d definitely grab a few.
Order placed on the site for 10 cells in variety and 3 QLites. Looked into the Efest IMR 10440, 16340, and 18350 - pretty good from HKJ's reviews, so had to get some , and the SAM 20R's are a no-brainer...
Hey Tom, the Efest IMR10440 is the 20R of 10440 cells, that tiny little cell can pull 3A…only one I’ve found that can. I have 7 of em, and 2 on the way.
