I’ve ordered from Wendy @ Exploric around May 10th. She was good to deal with, however information on the batteries, shipping process is based all on faith. Wendy was able to send a couple of videos batteries on their floor & being tested. I did not get any pictures before they were boxed and only got pictures of my batteries after they were boxed with my name written on top of them. My batteries should arrive in a couple weeks. There is no shipping or tracking information of any kind from when your battery shipped to the time they hit the US. I was initially given some kind of FedEx tracking number. When I reached out again last week, I was then given a UPS tracking number. Either way, neither one of those tracking numbers show any information other than a label has been created. Exploric says my batteries have made it to US customs and supposedly cleared the customs process waiting to be picked up by the “forwarder”. It all seems a little sketchy to me, but it seems the majority of the people on this forum have ordered batteries from these companies and most of them seem to have good luck with them. But unfortunately you don’t really know what you get until it gets here and you look at it and test it to see what you’ve received.
I do wish if people are going to continue buying batteries in China, these companies would have a better system for delivering their product so that you have some sort of tracking and know where they are. I have seen people waiting months for these batteries when the shipper says they should’ve been there already. When my batteries arrive, I will post an update here to let people know what I got, what condition their in and how they tested.
I did NOT order REPT cells, but I have been following this thread to see what other folks are getting since I ordered from Exploric as well.
