This product is temporarily unshippable for retail orders due to air freight carrier restrictions

Saw that all batteries on fast tech have that in part of the description. Did that just happen today? Don't recall seeing that on Monday when I was looking around.

I know they have been having issues with HK and xray's to prevent this but that's been going on for months. The funny thing is you can still get the batteries if they are part of power bank or charging kit like $49.75 QIDIAN 3A 4*18650 Mobile Power Bank Battery Charger Kit - dual USB output at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Not sure how it's any safer but apparently if you want to buy 100 at once you can do that

FastTech can still ship wholesale orders with quantity larger than 100 units per order.

Anyone have any thoughts on when if ever this restriction will be lifted?

no matter how much its discussed, no matter how many banners they have been putting across the tops of the pages many still arent understanding the batteries cannot be shipped the regular way and keep complaining, so I guess the only way any ones gonna pay attention to it is if they plaster it on the descriptions.

Batteries in larger quantities go into special containers. There are specific packing regulations and when followed they are considered safe to transport. This is a logical choice for Venders. 100 Batteries would not stay on any good venders shelves for long.
There is also the slow boat alternative for Venders that know how to control inventory.

Slow boat may even be faster at this point.

It doesn't say it for that item. Only says it on batteries. My point with the link is that they still can ship them as long is it comes with a charger, power bank, etc. It looks like they just quit selling spare batteries.

Oh, thank goodness I am not losing my MIND!

Do you know if that's permanent or a temporary thing until they can get shipping issues sorted out?

 

[Mohamed]

Also why are some allowed and others are not. For instance you can still order these $7.91 Authentic Samsung ICR18650-26F 18650 3.7V 2600mAh Rechargeable Lithium Batteries (2-Pack) 2-pack - with carrying case at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping or did that one just slip through the cracks?

because those 18650's batts states EXPRESS SHIPPING ONLY that require special handling and cost probably about $30 just to ship, its not free!..and ego batts are being shipped via SG Post with no problems and free..
