I speculate they all come from the same warehouses and not directly from EVE. Where the warehouses get's them from I don't know. That part is pure speculation. China has a different culture and their business dealings are much different and there are things we will never know.Hi, you are right, it is speculation (I think i was clear about it) since I do not know what when where on this subject, I'm just speculating. I could hear your speculation too and see if it is more convincing...?
I do believe these are grey market cells and not grade A cells. But they are a very good value as opposed to ordering directly from EVE. I do not believe one supplier is selling better cells than the next supplier. There is no proof of that and people receiving cells from the different suppliers are getting cells that are the same.
I ordered 8 cells from the group buy and they came from Basen. The cells are no different from people who have received EVE cells. Even the labels are pretty much the same...the biggest difference of course being the serial numbers. That much I am sure of.
