Notice - Buying Li-ion cells from FastTech; SGP temporarily unavailable

Me too. No Singapore Post option.

Their response:

I have replied to them asking them to confirm the above because, after seeing a picture of the package (it’s quite big), I have my doubts it was actually removed. If it was removed, I would try and order the KKs by themselves as the NCR18650PF order seemed to go through ok.

I ordered 2 18650s from Fasttech on October 2nd, they were shipped on the 4th, and I received them on the 15th.

I have been on so many threads I don’t know where I am but I was sure FT said something along the lines that HKP was nearly back to pre-clampdown state and then…they refuse to even send yours to to, I’m presuming HKP! What a crazy situation. Every week it changes, sometimes by very large amounts.

I think someone said Wallbuys had a courier that would ship Li batteries and I’ve seen a couple of people saying their Wallbuys orders (I don’t know what they entailed) had come through.

My last order from FastTech has li-ion cells, they sent it by HKP on Saturday. Fingers crossed it doesn’t end up in Russia. >.<

I got a message today saying they removed the cells from my order and refunded me for them. :_(

I’m sorry to hear that, I have an order that showed as ‘shipped’ four days ago that includes a power bank with six 18650s in it. It still doesn’t track, so
I might have the same luck as you.

I think yours should be okay, if they put the cells in the power bank. I didn’t get anything in this order to put the cells in. I placed a separate order for them. Unregistered mail, should get here before Xmas! :bigsmile:

Have you received the refund? They still have not resolved the issue about my KK’s yet. Also, my sister has confirmed that a package from FT has been received, but I believe this is the Convoy L2 host and not the order which included the KK’s.

I won’t try to re-order the KK’s until I get some sort of confirmation (FT or my sister) that the KK’s were removed/sent.

I received the refund today as well.

I received confirmation from FT that they in fact have removed the KK cells from my order and have subsequently refunded me the payment. Once getting this information, I dutifully went ahead and created another KK order. Here’s hoping that it goes through.

My four orders from FT of 4x18654 each have been sitting in HK for a while. My tracking shows that two of the orders have just left the country, and are on the way to me.

I have a FT order with a few batteries in it that was ordered on 9/12 and has been sitting at “acceptance” since 9/18. I have received several orders since then but that one seems to be lost somewhere in limbo.

I just got notice my cells-only order was shipped! :bigsmile:

Mine dropped in there on the 16th and early on the 19th a new status appeared above the “acceptance” and it says “origin post is preparing shipment” it hasn’t changed since then. Two orders, 1 convoy c8 and one with 18650 + grease.

Do they still ship primary cells?

Unfortunately they will only ship using premium shipping now:

they say: …“bare cells”…does this mean if i order one of those ENB triple 18650 power banks with three cells inside the shipping will be free?

kralyevski, I would hope so but waiting for confirmation about free shipping for power banks with cells fitted.

Two $7 cells now cost $17 to ship!

My 32650s are still en route via swiss post, even though I haven’t really gotten any tracking updates in a while. I’m going to be upset if my flashlight batteries get a trans-European/Swiss vacation when I’ve barely been out of the states.
