Batteries Across border

[GOTFrog]

Anyone having issues with ordering batts from outside of Canada?

I've heard buying from china is a problem but they have a work around and costs more.

I was looking to get some Sony VTC4 or some samsung inr18650-20r but I can't find them in Canada.

Did you have a look at fastech? I just ordered a few evod starter kits from them . They automatically rerouted them through Singapore, because they were batteries. I couldn't come close to getting them that cheap anywhere else. My MVP came from there and I received it in 15 days. No tax and free shipping-win-win in my book! Great customer service and guarantees.

Most shops in states wont ship batteries across now

The deal is that lithium batteries are considered dangerous goods, and shippers have to comply with extra regulations for them to be shipped into Canada. So I guess it depends on where you're buying them from & how they're shipped - I would think that a well-established vendor should know what they're doing regarding international shipping. But again, I guess it depends on the vendor because when I ordered my ProVari they specifically stated that they do not ship batteries internationally, so I assume it's because they just want to avoid the hassle. So I just got batteries from within Canada to save myself any hassle.

I might just go with Fasttech and the Samsung since Im ordering my mod from there might as well get everything together
