ego style batteries from fasttech

[winnietyson]

I noticed that I could purchase 8 1300 mah batteries for Aprox £25 this is half the price of UK vendors and I am wondering if anyone has any experience of getting batteries from fasttech and if there was any problems with customs etc??

the batteries ive had are ok, however they will have to be shipped on a ship 45-60 days to arrive.

You need to check the feedback and reviews of the batteries, or anything from Fasttech really. 

They are probably the shipping options you will see if you go ahead and buy, their shipping time estimates are pretty accurate. You wont get customs charges. They come via the postman and I dont think I have heard of anyone being charged customs etc for an under $50 order, or ANY order for that matter

Have you got a link for the batteries you are thinking of buying?

Those options are for the listing here  allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/44041/spinner-type-2600mah-battery-18?page=1&scrollTo=767820 . Your options may be different.

lots of threads on here about people being hit with customs and the dreaded £8 Royal Mail fee
why don't you spilt the order into 2 lots of 4 batteries should be within the £15 limit

[Q]

The people hit by customs were buying from Stateside I think, no problems with China

I've never had a problem with anything from China, I buy badger hair shaving brushes from a Chinese vendor who supplies the big names over here and have never had any extra charges from customs or RM.

Be careful of reviews on fasttech they don't put up the bad ones Good reviews go up lightning fast, the rest stay "pending" for years

Have bought loads of batteries from Fasttech. Never had a problem with any off them. Biggest problem is the amount of time they take to arrive. But at those prices I don't complain, just sit back and wait. I personally would split the order though..

I have obviously been lucky, most of mine have arrived within 30 days

go over the £15 limit and its the luck of the draw some members no problem, some members get hit
allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/35520/fasttech-order-over-split-customs

split the order into 2 lots of 4 then no issue you still get free shipping

[Q]

I'm guessing the deal is an 8 pack (although I cant find any) which would make it impossible to split, it is highly unlikely that a £25 order will get hit, but agreed, there is always the chance.

[Q]

Just checked and I've done 8 orders over £15 in the last 4 months, the most expensive one being around £36, these are split between FT and Focalecig, never been questioned

If you can post a link winnietyson, we can advise you better  If it is 8 small ego batteries, there wouldn`t be an issue IMO.

I would be very surprised if there is any problem with those. I have yet to hear of anyone with any order size being charged for customs on this forum. Split them into 2 orders, cost will probably still be the same
