That's a good price. Just the 2 batteries cost more than that from US suppliers. I'm not too sure about ordering from them though. If you decide to, see if they'll accept a prepaid card so you aren't giving them your bank info.
Just search a forum for bigboxstore.

I would be careful there are Blackmarket fakes of the Joye products in China I'd try to find it on a site that says its an Official Joye rather than something that your unsure of. Esp with the pictures being of all diff products and one of the pictures of the box's doesn't even have eGo or Riva written on it. But that's just me.. some people are just fine with the knockoff's or have them and don't even know it.
I would be cautious ordering from bigboxstore.com. I ordered things from them several months ago. Everything was generally ok....sorta.
Their descriptions are vague enough that they lead you to believe your getting something of good quality. What you receive tends to be of mediocre quality. The e-pipe and e-cigars I bought were medium to low in the function catagory. The camera I grabbed as a last minute gift was one they touted as being of the highest quality and was really a crudely made piece of equipment better suited as a child's toy than a serious device. The batteries that came with everything were almost useless and in general, everything in the order looked to be a factory-second.
The feeling I have towards them now is that they are probably dealing in factory QC rejected equipment or dealing with factories that don't have any real QC at all. Their customer service was poor at best and shipping times were long, even by chinese standards. An attempt to return a DOA cigar proved extremely irritating and damn near pointless. After several weeks of contacting them, receiving various instructions to send videos of the defective item, and jumping through more hoops than a dolphin at Sea-World, I was denied a refund due to their return period having expired.
Admittedly, all but one of the items I purchased from them are still functional to one degree or another. Where the issue is, is that similar items I have since purchased from reputable dealers function far better than those I received from bigboxstore. A couple of dollars saved may cost you a serious irritation later.
Your experience with them may be better than mine was, but I'm not going to risk it again.

I am still waiting for an order placed with bigboxstore.com. One of two orders arrived yesterday, but the order was incomplete, about $12.00 worth of stuff missing. I sent them a report, and got an automatic reply. Whether or not they'll make good on the missing merchandise is anybody's guess.
Funny. I ordered a pack (5 pieces) menthol cartridges for my Joye Ego; they sent a whole box of 10 )50 pcs.).
If they make a mistake on your order, it is very hard to get them to fix it. I suspect part of the problem is language barrier.
IMHO there is no real reason to shop with the Chinese outfits, because there are many excellent vendors selling the same stuff here in the U.S.A.

Sue,
Liberty Flights are still having their Riva sale- $29.99 for a whole kit. It's a clone to the eGo model. I just got one yesterday and LOVE it! $2.99 shipping too and they are a US company

LiteCigUSA has the entire kit for $54.95 on sale now. I believe the shipping is only 2.00. I'm trying to decide between the Joy Ego and The Boge Leo. You get 2 of everything you need w/ the Ego. The Leo is 49.95, but you get just one Batt. and one Atty. I've read there a good Co. Hope this helps.
+1 on the Riva kits from Liberty flights. They are the same as the ego, and the parts that come with will get replaced with more attys and cartomizers anyway. Heck of a price for a 2 battery kit. I have ordered many ecigs from Liberty and they are awesome. Great warranty too.
I would order from Janty. They have a 6 month warranty on their atomizers and 3 months on the batteries. Top notch. The way too go.
Unfortunately, I didn't find any posts on them before I ordered. So have two Joye eGo kits in transit. I did order on Dec 10th and it took until Dec 18th to be shipped. But this morning I got a tracking number and they are in transit.
Update: I received the Joye eGo Kits today and checked them out. All four batteries charge and nothing is missing so other than it arriving later than I expected and paying extra for the 3-5 day shipment, no complaints.
However, if you decide to order from them, the attys (that they say are for eGos only) are 510 attys and not the eGo Mega Atty. And don't pay the extra amount for the 3-5 day shipping.
