Wauw good prices for nkon, will check them next time too
Ordered 4 at AliExpress for $18,36 so $4,59 a piece or ~€4,15
But I have not received them and the day after ordering a topic was opened about fake ones so I wished that topic was started a little sooner and this topic as well, then I would have emailed nkon being Dutch really easy to confirm if they are legit.
But hey stuck in the lottery now
Wow, it must have just changed in the last few weeks. I literally just received 8 only 3-4 days ago. It shows $19 now. Gearbest just lost my business. I’ve ordered around 40 batteries from them still have over 30 and never seen that shipping price ever.
My speculation they may have gotten in trouble with their previous shipping method. This recent package was custom declared as “flashlight hardware” I’ve never received one package from them with the correct lithium sticker warning on it. Check out imrbatteries since your in the states. They have them for $6 and I always choose the cheapest flats rate envelope shipping with them which is only a few dollars. Or you can get priority box for like $7 I had a charger malfunction after a week and they swapped it out no questions asked. Sent it back last Friday received the new one this past Friday. If any battery is DOA they will swap them. Never had that happen but would be easier to deal with them. Then a Chinese company with issues
FastTech and BangGood is still offering free shipping so GearBest needs to figure out their shipping and start offering free shipping again or they will lose out big time to competitors.
When ordering batteries, do you guys prefer with tracking or without tracking? I read some store declare it not as batteries.
with tracking, package will be inspected by customs.
without tracking, small chance that the package will be checked by customs.
I am worry about having problem with customs because of incorrect customs declaration for considered dangerous item.
There is also LiionWholesale. He sells button-tops, flat-tops, and protected 18650GA’s. He’s currently sold out of the button-tops but will probably get them back in stock soon. Shipping inside US is 2 dollars.
I have nothing but good things to say about imrbatteries honestly. When I had a issue I got true american customer service and not that please send us a video or pictures showing your problem chinese vendors are famous for. They average around $6 a battery but you get them in 2-3 days. Sometimes extra $1 is worth not waiting 4 weeks.
I hear all that, LOUD AND CLEAR! Shipping time in less than a week AND customer service to back it up…. Definitely be looking there for my next battery purchase. But dang it, that also means it’s gonna be easier to let go of the money.
