I know that, but since air-mail shipping legistlation for Li batteries must be the same for all countries, it’s difficult to understand why there’s an enormous charge for a EU member country and no charge for another.
After all, it’s even more difficult to understand, why:
A few days ago the cost for registered shipping (to Greece) for a 4-lot of (e.g.) HG2 batteries was $2.16 and now it’s $8.15 !
There’s different shipping cost for similar items ($8.15 for HG2 4-lot, $12.35 for NCR18650B of today’s flash sale).
All I’m saying is that GB must really do something about all it’s registered mail shipping costs and that the cost for shipping batteries is frustrating. As I was really happy to see lately that GB’s CS is a lot improved in comparison to what was going on a year (or even a few months) ago, I believe it’s a pitty for GB not to make even higher sales because of it’s shipping policy. That’s why I’m insisting to this aspect’s improvement.
Just ordered a Xiaomi ZI5 / ZI7 Charger, which (I believe) is a good deal @$5.99 (even better since I had some money in my GB wallet). As paying for registered mail wasn’t obligatory, I’m gonna wait when (and pray that) it arrives in time with free shipping’s simple post.
Since you don’t have to pay for batteries shipping from GB in Germany, maybe I could order some for delivery to you, and you can bring them to me when you visit Greece. I’ll buy you a gyros-pita! :money_mouth_face: :partying_face:
Yep, to US shipping kills any sort of battery deal from GB China. I was set to order yet another 4 LiitoKala 26650's but when shipping doubles the cost, discounts are useless. Ordered from BangGood - free shipping.
However I was still able to get the Samsung 30Q's form GearBest's LA warehouse w/free shipping - hope they expand their stock of offerings there. The qty 8 30Q's arrived in a nice protected box - no problems.
Same here. Shipping kills good battery deals at Gearbest. Secondly, shopping at Banggood becomes more pleasant as there are no surprise shipping costs; it’s free. For a minor additional fee I can have batteries shipped express within 9 days as well.
