My country allows shipments of separate batteries or batteries inside something
I have to make the customs declarations to be able to enter anything
I declare them simply as batteries
Ya, I agree it is good to be able to order batteries too. It is tough for some members to get batteries nowadays. But all the pictures I have seen show that the head is separated from battery tube. The batteries are not really inside the flashlight, but loosely put inside battery tube. If Lumintop has different packaging that is longer so that batteries are really inside flashlight, I believe the cost of shipping will increase beside the weight should increase about 0.4kg for 8 batteries.
Anyway, just my opinion. Lumintop should be able to solve it case by case if they are willing to offer this battery options.
The batteries have stickers covering one end so no electricity can flow, then they are loaded in the carriers and then the carriers are put in the battery tube.
I was wondering if this was acceptable by international shippers way back when we first saw the DHL boxes. Appearantly it is.
My suggestion way back then was to make some cheap plastic end caps that covered the open end of the battery tube. Have it either thread on or maybe have a rubber friction fit.
Strange, I would figure Israel to be the exact opposite. Although I have shipped several things to Israel over the years and come to think of it none of them ever had problems.
I have ordered, I think, all common types of batteries. Most of them lithium.
All type of lithium - 18650, 18350, 26650, batteries for my quadcopters,
for cell phones and other multimedia gadgets.
Even for electronic cigarettes - 700 batteries per one order - taxes and nothing more.
If all the documents are correct from sender, and the sender location isnāt on a watch list there shouldnāt be any trouble shipping to Israel. I had a friend working an archeological dig in the Negev desert (my spelling is likely wrong) for 18 months a few years ago. We had no problem sending parcels to him, including a pair of C8s batteries installed. Cheers!
all that was written on the ordering page and therefore accepted by the people who bought a GT
a lot of the cases could have been handled very different by lumintop and the team
saving them a lot money and time
.. just saying ;)
but we should add āwe have the right to refund your money and cancel your order at any time if problems occur during the shipping process caused by unforseen circumstancesā
119 patient days later my light is here. DHL delivered today. Based on everyoneās feedback I was expecting a monster light and it was even larger than expected. Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen.
