Yeah, I was thinking the same thing! They look better made though. I guess we'll see

If he's not a paid contributor to the site this could get interesting. He's always given quite good answers from what I've seen.
And still reading. I gotta admit, the people ripping FT for shipping batteries illegally that they ordered knowing it was against HKP rules are pretty hilarious.
On this site or the fasttech site? Do you have links? Please and thanks
Meh when you order you take your chances. My question is why is HK post cutting off business. FT has shipped batteries well in their cases more so than what I have received from US vendors. I really haven't had a problem but it seems too many have. I have been ordering since last year with no problems at all. Ever since Sep all hell has broken loose.
Yep. I agree. Seems pretty upset. I'm afraid this is going to get VERY interesting.
Dunno if we can link to their forum. If you go to the FT forum it's the first thread. Appears a disgruntled Mod stickied it.
Personally, I don't understand why FT didn't cut off battery sales a while ago. They can't be making enough on them to be worth the headache. I also don't understand why people kept ordering them knowing there were ongoing issues with shipping.
Oh what a tangled web we weave... LoL.

I know about taking chances, and your right. Looks like (to me) there's been some 'mismanagement' going on lately from Ft mods post. Hope it isn't as bad as I'm thinking, but does explain things a little better as to why things have been so screwy this last month

"I should add, probably decided this when they were both *&%$ing wasted at a bar
Fasttech's shipping contractor, the contractor that keeps &%$#ing up... its Jasmine's boyfriend/fiance"
Once the order I have in the wind right now is settled, I will not be ordering from FT again unless this stuff settles down.

You know this could effect more than just battery sales, but hey, it is what it is. I never put all my eggs into one basket anyway. There will always someone to fill the void LOL
China has lots of problems and undercutting US vendors could be just the tip of the iceberg. They have truly saved me a fortune so I can't complain. As we all know just about everything has batteries in it today from I phones to everything else --what if the major country that makes those shuts the door.
On a larger wholesale scale that's not really a concern. The Chinese are just too darn good at free market capitalism. They would never block large scale sales of anything that brings money in. On a smaller retail level, however... well, we're seeing that they don't really care. Likely we'll see places like FT eliminate loose battery sales but continue with everything else, which is probably for the best. The last thing we need is a fire caused by improperly packeged LiIon batteries on a mail plane. That'd just bring the Customs heat back on all our gear.
