hi thorsten,
jenny wu's price seems very good , as it includes import taxes and shipment.

i would suspect normally to germany they will come by train (ghengdu express), but given the troubles in belarus/ukrain they may come through rotterdam by boat

I'm going to wander into a bit of speculation here. Bear with me.
First: I've purchased from both Jenny Wu at Docan and Amy Wan at Luyuan. They both are very trustworthy and I would recommend either of them.
However, the prices you are comparing seem oddly far apart. I just bought 8 of the 280Ah EVE LH280K late last year from Amy, and they were $126/ea before transaction fees. $193?! That sounds way high. Although I know nothing about it, Amy supposedly will also sell matched cells, which will cost quite a bit more. These would be cells that have been tested for exactly (or nearly) the same internal resistance and capacity and matched on those characteristics. I think @Steve_S has bought some of these matched cells from Amy, so maybe he can chime in here.
What Jenny at Docan cells are definitely not matched cells. They are all grade A new from the factory, but that is about it. Whereas Amy gave me capacity testing info and three different IR measurements for each cell, Jenny said she had no such information.
Anyway, I think your two quotes are for different things, and you are comparing apples to oranges.

Hi Horsefly, i think also 193$ sounds very high. My last order was from Amy, the cells are fully matched and tested. but now 83$ difference?
Jenny told me in the chat:" the cells are voltage, ir and capacity matched"
see chat attached.
mmh ? what should i do ? I can ask Amy for a discount.
Who get cells from Jenny? are the ok ?

I got the same per cell quote from each last month. Amy didn't seem to want to move on price. I decided to buy domestically to support a US owned business (selling China product, lol) for similar domestically sold cells. Otherwise I would've went with Jenny if I went the slow boat from China route. When I buy more, I will likely go with Jenny if shipping time isn't an issue from China.

I got two batches (28 cells) of the older version LF280N from Jenny Wu at Docan, both orders from the Texas warehouse. I have four 12v 280ah batteries finished and all have performed perfectly, the cells stay around .003-.008 difference top and bottom.
The first batch was at my door in seven working days and the second was five days, communication was good. No test reports but the cells seem matched pretty well. Price last year was $150.00 per cell delivered to Wa state.
