I have contacted the Alibaba department that offered the inspection services that are available now to high volume buyers to have goods inspected prior to the supplier shipping them and asked them to put me in touch with someone at Alibaba that can/will step in and pressure the supplier to get off their asses and start doing something to resolve the situation.
Those that want me to put out here who the supplier is.....I hesitate to do that as doing so would remove one of the pressure points I have available to get them to do the right thing. They do NOT want their name out there and if I put it out prior to any resolution it just weakens our position. At least that is my opinion.
To those that think I am going to "vanish" or any other suck bunk, that is NOT going to happen.
To those that may think I am not as worried about this as they are, that is stupid. There have been enough guys get refunds that should NOT have been able to that, if this is not resolved satisfactorily, I will lose more money than any 10 of you combined. A LOT more. So I am fully invested in getting them to do what they need to....and I would be even if I did not have as much money at risk as I do.
This and the Lishen crap is about all I think about and it keeps me up at night, most of the night, every night. I do not say that in order get get sympathy, just stating a fact.
I understand everyone's frustrations, but this shit weighs more heavily on me than anyone else, by far.
Also, this may NOT be all the suppliers fault. I believe MOST of it is, but perhaps not all of it.
I received two pallets of CATL 302ah cells yesterday and one of the pallets was broken....luckily none of those cells were damaged. However, I also received the box in the following pictures delivered by FedEx when no one was around. It was NOT from this same supplier. The box had the shipping information hand written on it, and so I believe that the original box was destroyed and FedEx re-boxed them and then delivered them.
I should have added in the previous post about UPS that they indicated that anyone that die not sign for their boxes technically did not accept them and so did not actually indicate that they were ok with accepting them at all. Another reason that they can be dropped off at the nearest UPS location according to the person I talked to at UPS.
