batteries

[azzaman]

Hi fellow aussies,

Is anyone having problems getting e cigs into the country? Aus post has said that the air freight of batteries is prohibited. I couldnt purchase a particular PCC from the USA (they have the same rules), so I bought it from the UK. I am concerned that it won't arrive. Has anyone had any probs recently?

thx

If some of you have problems to buy batteries and ship them to AUS, I can bring you some in october and send them from Perth or you can take them on my way around AUS. But not thousands of them of course.

I am in New Zealand and we have the same rules here. I have ordered batteries with no problem from the States and China. The vendor in the states (without my saying anything) put on the customs declaration it was an aromatherapy kit lol It sailed through customs no problems at all. China put on that it was adaptors lol. It was a large box for an adapter again no problems.

When there was a fear of a ban here in the US back in 2009 and customs was stopping packages, Heaven Gifts in China always put gift-toy on the declaration and I never had a problem.

Plenty of Aussie Vendors with batteries of all shapes, sizes and brands, just not many with PCC's.

I've never had problems with ordering vaping stuff from overseas though. Then again, I've never ordered batteries from Overseas.

Thanks for the replies. I will continue to wait for my package to arrive. The reason why I went for an overseas vendor was that I was after an innokin pcc.

I've never had any trouble getting my gear into the country.

I just placed an order last week tho and it has 400mL of liquid in it...so...fingers crossed on that one.

I thought the Aus Post thing was that you couldn't send batteries by air via Aus Post, but that if they were sent from another postal service, they didn't have a problem with it and would deliver them?
