Can anyone recommend anywhere to buy these? Must ship to the UK. And preferably sensible prices and shipping times (normal 2-4 weeks from China/HK).
Thanks, but shipping to the UK doesn’t seem realistic. The site can’t even tell me how much. I need to order then wait for a ‘quote’. Plus it says I need to buy a ‘host’ to put the batteries in and can only order a max of 4 batteries. And I’m willing to bet shipping will be more than the price of the batteries.
I can only think of akkuteile.de bit postage will be around 12£ but it is shipped via DHL, Germany to Slovenia no more than 4 days.
I ordered mine from banggood, they were shipped via hk air mail and arrived to straya in less than 2 weeks.
I’m not sure how consistent banggood may be in terms of shipping but both my battery orders from them arrived in a very timely manner.
Thanks. I’ve ordered 4 from FastTech in the end, but it says ground shipping only. After ordering I found a link to some on Banggood (I searched their earlier, but searching Samsung 18650 didn’t find them!). Order two from there also with their normal shipping.
eu.nkon.nl is where i buy batteries now… fair prices and fast shipping, 4 days on average to italy
That’s exactly what I did, & the FT ground shipping arrived first…
I hate to butt in, but if you remove the cases I'm right there with that price.
NICE!
If only shipping to the UK was better from the US as I’d buy way more stuff from you.
Blow out sale looks like to me!!!

Hello, I think i can do that.
We are battery vendor.
Price:US$3.0/pc for Samsung 25R battery.
But could you tell me how many do you need?
I will calculate the shipping cost for you. 
First For $100 its free shipping.
Second they are a known Great US distributor (I can drive over if I want)
Third there is the whole “risk” thing. meaning if some or all the cells are “not to spec” what recourse do we have?
See on point topic here Manufacturer's accountability
I will PM you, oh BTW did you send a few cells off to HKJ?
If you want our business it might pay to extend a BLF flat landed price of $3.xx per cell shipped (if you need a min qty then work out the volume price breaks).
Can you get other cells?
do you have a “representitive / distributor” in the US?
I am glad you are trying the break in, and these cells are a great point to leverage!!!

A lot of guys from Italy/italian CPF buy here. Me too 
shipping to UK is 4 euro
Since you are in the EU: the best option for you is NKON, as many mentioned it already
That guy is very very flexible and easy to deal with, a Samsung 25r example:
:bigsmile:
They even have the 35E and MJ1 in stock!! The temptation…
Really? They have 35E and MJ1 in stock.
What is the price of them?
