Hope this works out. If it does it is only a matter of time before others start stocking in the USA. I think $140 a cell is still too pricey for me, but it's not too far off. Would like to see $100 a cell

Where in CA are you? Ninthcit claims to stock all products and ship from Arcadia.

Not surprised. If someone can figure out a way to stock (and finance) a couple of thousand of these cells in the USA at a reasonable price, they can basically print their own money.
As posted previously i ordered these Tuesday afternoon. As of Friday night no shipping notification on Alibaba so its not looking like they hit the 1-3 days for shipping. I also see the price on the link i used has gone up $200. I'll let you guys know when i get a shipping notification.

You may not get any notification until they clear US customs and are in the hands of a US based shipper (USPS, DHL, UPS...). Its hit or miss as to how this works.

Went up $200! Wow.
Thanks. I was under the assumption these were coming from their USA warehouse as $560 seems cheap to air freight from China. Who knows..

Oh, i missed the USA Warehouse bit.Thanks. I was under the assumption these were coming from their USA warehouse as $560 seems cheap to air freight from China. Who knows..
If from China, its mostly a mystery until the are on your doorstep.
Update - Got a shipping notice batteries for the batteries i ordered last Tuesday. They are being delivered from Chino, Ca. but the tracking information shows they will be delivered Friday to an INCORRECT ADDRESS / wrong state. ?
All my profile shipping information is correct and in the order so hopefully this was just an incorrect copy / paste from someone updating my order.

New price this morning $860 - https://www.alibaba.com/product-det...a2756.order-detail-ta-bn-b.0.0.5a212fc2Np6Te6.
Also just to note the shipping time listed here is in conflict with the 5-10 business days language listed further down the page on their site so may be more realistic as I'm at day 7 and the shipment does not appear to have cleared customs yet.

99% OT: I'm not the greatest of experts on this subject, but AFAIK Nevada doesn't tax warehouse inventory or out-of-state sales. (That's why AIMS is a Nevada-based import/export operation, and hundreds of large corporations - including Microsoft - ship from Nevada for the same reasons.) Chino is close by Ontario Airport, but seems a slightly odd choice to me.
1% on-topic: That new price is getting to be extremely unattractive.
