Not unless you can read Chinese? Looks like it was shipped to an intermediary in California.Any indication on box who supplier actually was ?

Not yet......Yeah that did not happen. 1 inch of foam on one side (possibly the side and not the top or bottom but honestly I could not tell as the batteries in the boxes were every which way when the arrived) ... AND ... 1 inch of foam in the bottom that had 4 pockets about 1 inch deep for the batteries. In my case, the pocketed part was crushed by the batteries laying all out of place and all over each other.
I am still waiting on some one to hear from @Michael B Caro . Has anyone?
This is not good. Does anyone have Michaels number? I left a note on bigbossbattery.com, and a direct conversation to no avail.Not yet......
Nobody said he was on vacation. I am hoping he is ok because this isn't like him.This is not good. Does anyone have Michaels number? I left a note on bigbossbattery.com, and a direct conversation to no avail.
Why would he sit on vacation while all this is happening? ( is he related to Biden?)
Just wondering if that is a good idea? All of them seem to have been thrown off of Mt. Everest I wonder if there could be internal damage that would not be readily evident?Curious as to whether anyone who has received CATL 271ah cells from these recent shipments (that are not too badly damaged) has done any top balancing or capacity testing to see if they are legit 271ah?
To add on to this, I've ordered from him in past as well and believe him to be an honest person so I wouldn't worry along those lines.. The last time he was away for a while he had some health issues and was in hospital so I hope everything is okay and people can be a little more forgiving even though I know it is hard being in a position not knowing what is going on.Nobody said he was on vacation.

He was here Sunday but didn't post anything. He knows what is happening. Time for refunds. What is his phone number?Nobody said he was on vacation. I am hoping he is ok because this isn't like him.
You don't actually know that for sure.. one of his browser windows could simply have been left open at diysolarforum and his computer woke up for whatever reason...He was here Sunday but didn't post anything. He knows what is happening. Time for refunds. What is his phone number?
Where are his daughter and son that he's training or bringing up to speed. They probably come to the forum.

Agree. SorryI agree having a "fall back" plan to keep customers in loop should be a priority.. we don't want scenes like this:

They have a website if you want to try and reach out to get some answers:Not unless you can read Chinese? Looks like it was shipped to an intermediary in California.

The boxes are packed in China, not in the US. Its the Chinese supplier that is causing the issues.They have a website if you want to try and reach out to get some answers:

Presumably someone at the intermediary saw the boxes though and knew what was in them.The boxes are packed in China, not in the US. Its the Chinese supplier that is causing the issues.
Just to be clear, the person who this group buy went through has done this for quite a while on this forum with many happy customers including myself.Tough luck on these stories. I wonder if there’s a lesson to be learned from this of dealing with reputable vendors with a reputation they need to uphold instead of a fly by night guy offering group buys on some forum. Sometimes price isn’t the only concern.
Looking closer at the boxes, these look like they were either in an accident, or fell off the back of a truck. Did the container fall? They were obviously re-taped by someone. Did they not want their insurance company notified? Something is way off. The fact that there is no warning sticker for lithium batteries, also means they did not pay a hazmat charge, and the shipment was illegal?My CATL 271 cells arrived today. Ordered 16. 4 were so badly damaged that UPS would not ship them out of Cali to FL. Got the other 3 boxes. None are usable. Leaking Electrolyte. My whole office smells like electrolyte right now. Most or all of the black top areas are badly damaged. Swollen. These should have been deemed bio hazards and not shipped at all. Going to need a full refund
These were billed as New Grade A cells. Yet there are NO QR codes, No labels, leaking and swollen.
This is the 3 boxes of 4 batteries as they arrived.
