Go to fasttech and click āyour ordersā, you can manage everything there. By the way, in such cases as you quoted, they said they will automaticly put the batteries into the device.
I wonder is that is actually all or all for air freight? I would like them to open an over land delivery system. Old school but will avoid many of the dangers of transporting via air. May take a month but better than than none?
I didnāt tell them anything. Theyāre aware of what the situation is at the moment. The Chinese have been dealing with these bureaucratic logjams for ages. Iāll leave it to their ingenuity to keep me supplied with fresh ells.
The last order was placed Oct 1 but not shipped until Oct 10 because of their holiday. FT told me last night, (Oct 10) that they had received them back from SP. Seems like very fast turnaround. Iāve already received my PP refund.
It seems that FT prefers SP over HKP for battery shipments. I suppose I could ask them to use HKP, but I would think they know which one has the best chance of success, based on the number of returned packages theyāre getting from each postal service.
I donāt see why they would use SP when they have that announcement on their site stating that SP is refusing all Liion batteriesā¦ At least it is a fast turnaround though.
I had two orders in before the holidays. They sent the ānon batteryā by SingPost and the ābatteryā package by ChinaPost. The batteries were returned to FT. My latest four battery orders were sent HKPost.
Lots of snarky comment people in here I missed, why yes of course Iāve received packages, but nothing ever seems to have been damaging enough to pierce a battery, or else what I had gotten would have been damaged significantly in most, if not all cases. However, being dropped several times and knocked around is more than enough force to displace any magic āinsulatorsā you are relying on Chinese companies to always insert (magnets even are displaced this way) and impacts with force enough to depress a tailcap button would be common. So yes, more likely Iād say. Ask yourself how many products have you returned with holes in them because of postage vs how many products you have received in bashed/crumpled boxes? If you stop and think a minute, you will realize that this illustrates the āmore likely to take an impact displacing probably non existent insulators and depressing the tailcap switch than to pierce or have enough force to crush a metal can.ā
And Koyotee, you might want some functional understanding to go with functional literacy before becoming trollish and realize that relying on Chinese companies to always insert non-moveable insulation pads, place them correctly or even use them at ALL if they can get away with not, is extremely unlikely, especially since they cant even get our orders correctly a high percentage of the time. Iāve found Chinese companies are so corner cutting and error prone, Iād be surprised if most companies even packed them correctly in the first place, even if they had āinsulating padsā in most cases, since there is no official regulation and it cant be checked up on on xray. Even if a miracle occurred and we could expect 90% of them to be properly packed, the postage is frequently taking bumps to those 10% that arenāt. And weāve all received many many non punctured packages that are thrown/smacked/dropped/banged with insufficient force to damage a battery. Yes not very likely to happenā¦but Iād expect moreso than someone using enough force to puncture a metal can through packaging.
Anyways, poorly thought out snarky posts aside, when someone posted an official document on the regulation, it became apparent there is another motive in this regulation. It seems the fact that a flashlight can act as an isolator seems to be more important, and that fire is seen as more of a threat than explosion, which I wasnt considering, and its being aimed at larger multi cell packets. (Iām sure now snarkies will say they have thoroughly considered this of course, thats why they didnt post on it ). So it actually does make sense after all with those priorities.
