Group buy is now open...see here:

https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/29429

Hi,

I`m thinking about doing another small group buy on one of the best nimh lsd AA batteries in the world.

  • Eneloop PRO AA 8-packs (BK-3HCC)

I have 20 packs on order at the moment, and I can add another 10 if there is enough interest.

This is a feeler thread only. If you show interest, you are not obligated to buy once the group buy will start, and visa versa.
If there is not enough interest, I might just sell the packs to people who responded here, and the rest will add to my inventory.

Price:

Prices would most likely be $29 including economy shipping per 8- pack.

Price would most likely be $15 including economy shipping per 4 (half of 8 pack).

Will simply cut the 8pack in half to be able to sell these as 4 cells.

For who?

any member who registered on or before September 1st 2014


IMPORTANT:

Shipping will by default be done by Economy airmail, and is included in the price.
Economy airmail is available for the US and western EU.. and most Asian countries.
Unfortunately economy airmail is not available for some countries in Africa, South America, the Middle east and east Europe.Therefore reply to this thread with your questions if you want to make sure your country accepts economy airmail.

  • Regular airmail will be available for an extra $2 for those countries eligible for economy airmail.
    and a little more expensive for those countries who aren`t.
  • Tracking can be added for $5
  • EMS and Insured are available upon request

!!This is a GB feeler thread only. If you show interest, you are not obligated to buy once the group buy will start in a new thread, and visa versa, I am not obligated to sell any packs if you show interest here, but aren`t early enough to respond in the GB thread.
Once the GB is online, it will be on a first come first serve base!!

If you have any questions, please ask them in this thread.. and please not through PM...

ChibiM, I would be in the market for 2-3 more packs again. I will be needing 1-2 of them for gifts (wedding) for next year (can’t decide to include 4 or 8 cells for the 4AA light) and I have been using up a decent number of my stock in some Eneloop C and D cell adapters in some other gear. Any chance you can get a hold of a pair of those “Eneloop Pro charger” kits you had previously (would be perfect gifts)?

Hi tkmckay,

At the moment these charger sets have increased in price.. they can come down again any day, but it can also take weeks, very hard to predict. But I will keep an eye out!!! More people have asked about them.

For people who are interested I could also sell them in 4s which would be around $15 shipped!! I just need to cut the package in half then.

5

Thanks for the info…. I’m in no rush as my wedding isn’t till May next year. I will however grab a couple more packs of the AA’s for now for sure. :wink:

6

Good to know..congrats on your wedding plans! No worries, by that time we maybe have already 5th gen eneloops here ;)

I think I can even go a little lower for each pack, probably $28 if there is enough interest.

7

If the price is 28$ I will be interested….

I am interested in a 8-pack, is economy shipping available to Australia? If not, how much extra to ship to Australia?

Hi ChibiM,

Please put me down for two (2) Eneloop PRO AA 8-packs (BK-3HCC)

I assume regular airmail is better than economy, so I’ll go with that.

10

Thanks guys. Yes Australia accepts economy airmail, but can't use in combination with registered if my memory is correct.

Regular airmail could be twice as fast.. usually a week to major US cities, and economy about 2-3weeks.

11

I’ll be in for 2 packs, thanks.

12

Hi ChibiM,

I have a special request regarding an Invoice with split up prices for the 4 batteries and for the shipping. The reason is that for my country (for this month, october), I can buy for max $13.90 WITHOUT shipping and I could be in need of a proof to the customs that the price of the goods is under $13.90. If they don't approve, the tax and fee is double the price of the batteries!

Hope you can put a simple invoice with the batteries.

13

Hi sixty545,

every package thats sent from Japan needs a Custom Declaration. On those stickers I write the price before shipping, so in the case of a 4-pack, that would be around $12 (price before shipping)

So you want me to put an extra piece of paper inside the envelope with the price?

14

I’m interested in one 8-pack.

15

I think the sticker is good enough. After all, it is not a package from China with fantasy declarations. I look forward to your purchase thread, thanks.

PS. In fact I am interested in two packages with 4 batteries in each! Please note that.

16

Ok.. so 2 packs of 4 then.... not a problem..once the GB is open.

edit: I`m gone for now, will be back on Monday..

17

Bump

18

I will help you bump by signing up for another two packs of four so that will be a total of four packs of four for me, thanks.

would be interested in a GB for the AAA version as well!

19

Thanks!

received the batteries today. Will wait a few more days...

I’m interested in one 8-pack.
Does Estonia accept economy airmail?
