That is the only reason I can never order anything from the US though I would love to. Sometimes I come across very good deals and I do trust American products in general but hey those shipping costs are just too much! :(
Might find someone you trust over here to get em for you and ship em over. That rate seems ridiculous. I buy records from several bands/labels in Europe all the time and shipping to the US is nowhere near that expensive.

Shipping rates from the US are cute aren't they. I entered Cyprus as my country since they did not list Malta but figured it would be more or less the same.

I'm in Canada and I have to be careful of shipping costs from the US too though they're never as high as that. The only thing I can say is that if you have friends who are in the market for the same things you can split the cost. Or if you buy more and then advertise and can sell the rest locally you can also split the cost. I don't know if any of these options would work for you but thought I would mention them.

I bought a 3 pack from vapor DNA and they are legit. I took the wrapping off of them and from one of my older ones and compared and the printing is the same, everything about them are the same. Sony says that they are old stock so we may not get the expected 100 or so recharge cycles as compared to new batteries, but it is nice to see these back on the market.

If the product code ends in XD05T, like the ones I recieved from Illumn, they were manufactured April 5, 2015.

All 3 of mine say XDO5S.

Well, that would be the same date if my decoder ring is correct. The last character was stated as being electrode history. Whatever that means.

Random internet find, so I can not vouch for validity:

Sony manufacturing codes.
digit 1: year. Q=2008, R=2009, S=2010 and so on
digit 2: month. A=Jan, B=Feb, ...J= Oct
digit 3+4: day
digit 5: electrode history
