Linda, I’m sure people can read your first post just fine. No need to copy and paste them again and again.

Tom E, appreciate if you can share your order details - price, qty, shipping etc?

Just want to chime in and share my experience about this vendor. Anyone who has trouble ordering 14500 outside US (like myself) can use windyfire’s website to get some batteries. I wanted some high drain ones for my BLF X5 so checked the website and asked for a shipping quote from customer service. In a day I received and accepted an offer with tracking nr. Now I have the batteries on hand, packaging was prepared with care, cells are performing fine. Linda from CS was helpful all the way so I am a happy camper. :beer:

Also looking for some decent 14500’s for my BLF X5. Bought some “brand” batteries, but was not pleased with their performance. Even bought some “authentic xxxxx-fires”. These outperform the batteries supplied with top-of-the-bill AAA-lights, but collapsed under the pressure of the X5. I have read the review of HKJ, but shipping cost can be a dealbreaker. Can you share what offer you got form Windyfire (or PM me)?

For 4 of these batteries I paid about 12 USD including about 5 USD shipping to Hungary. I think this was fair after all, they perform fine.

Thank you, I just ordered 4 batteries and they will send me an email with the total cost (including shipping).

Edit1: Got an answer within 2 hours. Total cost $12.80 for 4 batteries in a case plus shipping. So it’s a deal.
Thank you for pointing me into the right direction.

Edit2: Arrived yesterday, 17 days after ordering. Four batteries and a complementary case. All individually packed. Wrapped in bubble plastic with foam padding between the batteries. Delivered in a bubble-lined envelope that fits the dimensions for letter-mail. Thank you, WindyFire!

Linda from Windyfire asked me if I would share my experience - why not?

I asked for a price for four 800mAh 14500’s (purple) and got a price but a few days later Linda said they could only supply the red ones that are reviewed in this topic as they only had one purple left. She gave me a price of $7.60 + $5.60 shipping ($13.20 total) for the four red plus the single purple as a gift. This seemed fine to me. They were dispatched. I received them in a decent timescale. They were very well packaged in a battery case. I have used a couple of the red and also the purple. They seem to be fine.

In all, I’m very happy with my transaction - it is a little bit different from some of the normal suppliers who quote a shipping free price but hey-ho, it doesn’t really matter in the grander scheme of things.

Linda replied to my emails quickly enough and I’m happy with her communications. I’d have no issues buying from Windyfire in the future.

Thanks for mentioning this, I had completely forgot it was possible to order directly from them. :+1:
