I can only assume, maybe they found some shipping company that has a direct flight to Slovakia and is willing to close one eye on a regulations as long as they have some profit from that.
One thing is certain, GearBest is, same as any company, profit oriented, if there is money to make in selling something they will sale it so I am 100% sure that if they could make money by selling batteries to Hungaria, Slovenia, Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria etc. and the only obsticle is their own decision “should we do it or not” we would not have this conversation and good & cheap cells would be on their way to us.
They might haven’t bothered enough themselves (as others did) to find the solution.
It’s a question of priorities:
“Should we spend sometime to figure out how to do that, or should we focus on something else more urgent, since sales go fine without it?”
I can understand that as a sales strategy (if it is like that), but I don’t like it. Since I don’t like it and I see that a certain e-shop does nothing to improve that situation but is turning it’s back to me, most probably I’m gonna turn my back also and go shopping everything (not only batteries) from somebody else who values better my money. If many discontented customers do that and inform why they’re doing it, then maybe they see their mistake and do something about it.
Nope, you’re not doing it right, cause you obviously didn’t (or don’t want to) understand what I wrote and how I wrote it. I’m really sorry, but I have to quote part of my answer at the PM you’ve sent me (answering to my PM that I was informing you for e-shops that ship free batteries in Greece), in order to “defend” myself (and not an e-shop for it’s “unfair” shipping policy) :
As I’ve also told you at my answering PM, “I’m not simply affraid… I’m certain that you’ve misunderstood most of what I wrote. That’s why your answer is agressive. It shouldn’t be, we’re in the same side. :sunglasses: We’re customers/consumers, trying to get the best deal for the money we spend to buy stuff from sellers. They (sellers) are the ones who have to find solutions in order to make higher sales and take our money.”
I also agree with that. It’s absolutely logical. Never said the opposite. But I’m also wondering:
thanks for your are willing to order batteries form GearBest, but I’m sorry because of the reason of the shipping companies, and regulation of different countries, for now it’s best we could do, and thanks for Sirius9 help to explain here, and he is right, we will never miss the chance to offer you great sales for battery if we could
as it’s the deal thread, I’m wondering if you we don’t discuss this too much here, thanks
and also I will PM you something about the shipping method of the battery
Thanks for your answer, waiting for your pm. :sunglasses:
In order not to loose any time saying the same things over and over again, please read at my previous posts my honest opinion and see the links for the EU air-mail statistics per country.
bad news, recently, there are something wrong with our knife shipping method, around Dec 20-25th we will have new shipping method for it, sorry make you wait
but there is another news, battery has a new shipping method, although it’s still not free shipping, but will be lower than before
