My VTC4s have been sent today
Swedish surface mail

But at least they are on their way

Cheers Q
Prompted Me to check Mine.....'Dispatched', same Swedish s.m.

Turns out mine arrived a while ago, must've got lost in all of the Xmas pressies I bought.

Do GB always send batteries out in that kind of state? No cases or boxes is pretty bad form, but the two that were loose in the jiffy is extremely bad form.

Yes, it is that kind of packaging that could lead to a ban by airline carriers again (when they are scanned). Mine were exactly the same. Really need to improve the way the batteries are packed isabel22

Where are mine?!!.....

[Get Off My Cloud]

And mine.

Still the same price had a few points to use so got 2 for £4.44

Hello friends,
Wish you all happy new year.
And we will change the cover of battery shipping, but cannot change the way.
Because battery are not allowed to use other shipping way here, even FT also use the Sweden Post.
Good news is that our warehouse will choose the much more safe way to package them
Best regards

Still waiting on mine as well and I also ordered some other stuff on 5th December that still haven't arrived, first time buying with Gearbest and the long wait is starting to worry me. I'm putting it down to the fact it was the hectic Christmas mail period and everything takes a little longer this time of year but if they don't come soon I may start shaving my head.

I ordered some of these batteries to put aside for when I have enough money to jump in to the wonderful world of mods. I'm gathering bits piece by piece, so far I have the charger, stocked up on coils, have a few sub ohm tanks waiting for batteries and then when I save enough money I'm going to buy myself a few mods to get started

I got the email to say they were on their way on 11/12. I think they arrived the right side of Xmas, but it might have been last week.

Either way I can't complain!

well mine are still on the way apparently, for the first time it seems my GB order is actually slower than FT....then again I don't think they dispatched the 25r's for about 2 weeks after I placed the order either ....

[Q]

Mine were sent on the 18th so allowing for the Xmas/New Year I reckon another week should be about right

[nanotm]

this is getting ridiculous now, the batts were marked as dispatched on 18th of December, on the 24th of December I ordered a mod, both items were marked as dispatched by the same postage the mod arrived this morning (having been dispatched a week later than the batts) the bats are still somewhere en route... wanna bet they don't arrive until after the half dozen or so other items I ordered direct from china on the 2nd of jan do ?
