I ordered 2 Panasonic NCR18650B Rechargeable 3400mAh 3.7V 18650 Lithium batteries and were shipped on January 8 via Malaysia Post. Wonder if I'll ever get them?

Once I entered the tracking number into USPS.com, the package wasn't shipped until Jan. 22, not Jan. 8. But received the package in hand yesterday, Jan. 29. I was concerned since it was batteries.

Should I assume it's sitting there until after the CNY?

I thought there was a ban on batteries? Cuz I would like another 18650 as my backup battery instead of the 18350 I currently have....
the last time I tried to order a battery it was sent back to fasttech

Hi Neighbor! I live in a community nearby.....

I was told to order them and have shipped via Malaysia Post.

I ordered an ego mega v2 with evidence starter kit plus lanyard and lanyard ouch jan 1 2014 and selected china post. On jan 8 I got an email from them that said they can't send batteries via china post so r sending it via Singapore. The tracking number posted jan 10th. It still says dispatched overseas. I've received nothing. I am getting upset and their website won't let me post a query. Grrrrr

For batteries to to recommended suppliers, yeah FT "was" recommended till the battery SNAFU happened, go to RTDVapor or Illumination supply for batts

Ahhh, that depends on who you talk too ... there was a member who got burned by this vendor back in November, can't remember their username, I just remember the thread he started. He was sold a pair of batteries, and one was DOA, and the seller was not cooperating/communicating, at least that is what the member said.

Also, there is some negative feedback on Ebay, although much more positive feedback. But all the negatives say that when there is a problem, this is not a vendor who will fix it. I have deleted this seller from my following list because of the negatives. There is a good chance that you will get working batteries, but if you don't .... eh, I wouldn't risk it.

Anyhoo .. here is a link to a FAR AND AWAY better IMR battery (fact, based on testing), and the vendor is Orbtronics (different ebay name) who is definitely reputable, and these better batteries are cheaper as well. Efest looks like a trustfire by comparison to these.

Not sure how valid any argument is with the back and forth Con games of both Sellers and crooked buyers on Ebay.
I prefer considerations of various information not only including rating, but feed back information, Actual Sales volume, Time as a member on Ebay, actual Ebay involved charge backs and more.

r-lsales (140354)99.7%
titanium434 (5313)99.9%

Ultimately we are both just offering more localized availability. It is totally up to the person in need to seek out an acceptable solution.
