rin67630: Thanks for replying and giving me some ‘hints’ as to who you were considering purchasing sell through next. My latest thoughts - my opinion is that PROBABLY the safest route would be to go through Amazon BUT if one went that way, it might be tough getting a/the ‘best price’ you were...
It is not ONLY about me that I’m thinking… I’m pretty darn good and very capable of doing what you suggest BUT (a) there will always be a ‘nagging doubt’ among people who follow your advice in the form of “I wonder if THIS PRECISE PLACE that I have come to following your instructions is the one...
Rin67630: just want Thank You for expressing your thoughts on AliExpress. Their relationship with merchants that use their platform are probably pretty complex. Any reputable ‘store’ attempting to sell their products through Aliexpress that have ‘been around a long time’ I’m pretty darn sure...
Actually, no I can’t. I was trying to help you out here to improve your ability to help others. Essentially all you seem to have done insofar as your 9:10 AM post today is concerned is (a) suggest that anyone and everyone who sell through AliExpress is probably a crook or untrustworthy...
THANK YOU! “You’re ‘ma man”. That is the kind of response I think more people should give - be a bit more specific; give specific recommendations so that OTHER PEOPLE – many other people don’t have to waste a lot of their time and endure a lot of frustration and aggravation searching around and...
I had in browsing around forms and had noticed these references to 'Group Buys'. But I had several questions and concerns about this idea, such as (a) "Just because one might be participating in a Group Buy, to what extent exactly (more or less) should one used to believe that that chances of...
Thanks for your suggestion as to where I might start looking for a place where I might be able to try to order some HIGH QUALITY cells at a REASONABLE PRICE and hopefully receive them in a reasonable amount of time. In general – to my taste anyway – I think it’s generally good idea to be a bit...
Just wanted to 'second' what FrankS just said response to OM617YOTA – that's basically how I went about it – I wasn't looking for the absolutely lowest price or anything like that – I also wanted to know for certain what the final price would be in terms of duties and taxes and shipping and so...
One final thing I thought I would add - you might want to search for – on YouTube - "lithium iron phosphate safety" and watch a few videos. compared to lithium-ion lithium polymer and so on, this CHEMISTRY is really, really safe. It's really hard for these things to wind up causing damage...
FrankS:
If I recall correctly, ‘Andy’ who owns and operates the Off-Grid Garage YouTube channel, had a similar problem to yours with his SECOND order of TWELVE cells - two of them arrived ‘in not that bad shape’ but with some minor issues. As far as I know, I don’t think they were...
Just thought I would post once more today - a follow-up to my previous two posts:
After I sent them off, I happen to wind up going to the Shenzhen Basen Technology Store on Alibaba.
On their homepage, they had a message – one ‘page’ in a set of five ‘scrolling pages’ that I could not get to...
