Has anyone tried Malaysia post (free) for batts yet, FT ?

[robby]

As the post heading, thinking of getting some, it`s been a while

[seniorphil]

No, but I will watch with interest.
2 choices with batteries on there at the moment, DHL forty odd dollars, Malaysia free.
If nobody feedsback by tomorrow I'll take a chance and we will see. I've been ordering lots of stuff from the UK for myself and friends, but I really miss the fasttech gamble- will it/won't it a) arrive, b) be crap.

robby, I recently bought batteries from Focalecig and were sent Sweden post and came quite quickly. doris initially said they were going Malaysian post but when they did test posting they had problems with delays, hence use Sweden post instead.

robby there is a small charge, (think it`s roughly 30p), for using Malaysian post, but worth a punt to see if they get through.

I put an order in for 2 Panasonic batteries just to see what happens

robby same as Brambles here, I ordered batteries from focalecig, they were supposed to come via Malaysian post but ended up via Swiss (or Swedish can't remember which). No problems with delivery.

Thanks guys, I think I`ll do a test run as well with a couple

I think the charge is because your under $15, I just ordered 4 panasonic and some drio tips and it was free.

Yes, they do poochops, search for 18650 panasonic, if you search for 18650 on its own, all the makes are there, but they take a bit if sifting through

Well bugger me sideways! I spent a good twenty minutes looking for them last night! I need to sift through and find some high amperage ones, I got a dripper the other day and it's agreeing with me quite well! Which is a surprise to me as I couldn't get on with them first time round

The game is afoot, the orders are in, who will get their ft batteries first.
