USPS is usually always cheaper for small items.

There may be something about US shipments, and USPS, and Lith batts. I remember an email about 6 mos. ago, but not the details, from BJ about that. Yes DX but a 2 week wait.

But you didn't have to wait 2 weeks. You mighta paid tha diff? Many e-cig suppliers also sell the mod batts at reasonable prices. and shipping. Not DX prices though! And DX has all kindsa strange and neat stuff. I spent about 4 hrs. just lookin around when I first went there.

Anyone know about the Battery Junction non USPS deal?

Scard and Sale, thanks for the tips!

Scard, how long is the wait time from Dino?

Icer, ordered from who? Give China 2 weeks or sometimes a little less.

There are a dozen or more sellers on eBay selling them for $5.95 per pair shipped from China. I bought 3 packages and got them in about 8 days. Excellent quality.

I usually send people to HighTechDealZ - Batteries/ Chargers/ Flashlights $2.65 each shipped free sometimes out of stock but they come back pretty quick.

Hi Papa...I ordered from BatteryJunction.com. I'm totally cool with a long ship time...but not so cook with $9 shipping

$9.00 does seem like a lot for just 2 little ol' batts. Check out BatteryBob.com, or Lighthound.com. Or 4sevens.com. I have heard some not so good things about Dealextreme, but have never dealt with them. Their products and customer service.

Btw, what you gonna use those 14500's in? Just curious.

 

[warbdan]

Ice, I don't know if 14500's will work in your roughstack. Are you building a box mod?

Yes!! I snatched up a box mod kit from MV when they had them available. I just received my soldering iron so I'll try to put it together today...only problem is I don't have my 14500s yet And the shipping cost for the 2 small AAs was more than I paid for the box mod!!!

Here is a question for all of you---is there any local locations where you can buy the 14500? For an emergency situation? I was wondering if a Radio Shack or something like it would carry the 14500.
