There is no tracking us mere mortals can see with any shipping from China, until it clears Customs.just so i understand the sea shipping. there is no tracking until it clears customs and is picked up by fedex?
My brother might want to split an order of 280ah cells. Are you thinking 8 cells each. He is in Campbell River on Vancouver Island. Where are you?I'm finally ready to pull the trigger...and Amy informs me "There is no shipping by sea channel to transport to the door to Canada. Shipping by sea to the destination port requires the order of 100kg or more." So sad. Anyone in British Columbia want to split an order of 16 cells with me?
for me, ... I think it may have been Long Beach area. or whatever port is nearest to HAWTHORNE, CA US . ... I never got that specific info. even though I asked for it, and wondered about that too.Just curious, which port did they enter the US at?
Same question for Capt Bill?
General location for both of Y'all, too. Don't need to be exact, just an idea how they're shipping goes.
It all depends on the carrier whether it is Port of Los Angeles or Port of Long Beach. Years ago it was said that 30% of US imports came through those two ports. Probably less so with the new Panama Canal.for me, ... I think it may have been Long Beach area. or whatever port is nearest to HAWTHORNE, CA US . ...

Wow to the Track Shipping link. for specific ship used. Have your been able to get that kind of info. from an Xuba battery order? Just wondering. I asked what is port of arrival in usa, but it was not most important question, and I just went to trusting reputation with enough other answers. ... I think Amy is a sweet heart.the name of the ship they're on

Amy responds quick and with a lot of info. Everything great so far
Wow. Just, WOW!
Pandemic or not, we truly live in a wondrous time: https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/COSCO-SCORPIO-IMO-9789635-MMSI-477183800Maybe I'll order from Xuba next time, but I can track my solar panels just fine. They're on the Cosco Scorpio and just entered the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez canal.
No, Duteurte is in love with China. he recently made a joke to the Chinese premier that maybe Phillippines should be a province of China...Remember that while COVID is creating many issues through the crisis, so are Politicians, I may be wrong but didn't Duerte of the Philippines just have some sort of meltdown against China and made threats or something ? If more Duties, Taxes, or Levies have been added then that would certainly add to the costs. Also since COVID went big everywhere Shipping costs for all of us have gone up, we have seen jumps for deliveries by various couriers even here in Canada. Everything from Battery Cells to just electronics boards I have ordered in the past 2 months have had increased shipping costs. If only everyone could play nice for a change, especially when so much is screwed up, we ALL need to pull together everywhere to clobber this Covid Crisis.
That's great! Mine are scheduled for delivery on Friday in Michigan. According to the FedEx tracker, they're in Toledo, OH as of this afternoon.
I've posted this many times. #14 Brass washers from Home Depot. They come 4 to a bag and are prefect for this. I would rather have to add a washer or two, and get max thread engagement.....snip......
One area that could be improved: I notice the shortish screws for the bus bars bottom out before the kind of smallish bus bars are fully tightened down. I think I will be ok with by adding a washer or two. IMO: That part of battery deal is one that could be improved by manufacturer.

Alternatively... you could get stainless or brass studs and nuts... and not worry about damaging a battery...I've posted this many times. #14 Brass washers from Home Depot. They come 4 to a bag and are prefect for this. I would rather have to add a washer or two, and get max thread engagement.
I've posted that option, too, with a eBay link for stainless studs. Since he is in Nor Cal, he probably has a Home Depot somewhere near and the ones around me have the washers in stock. I would get the same washers if using the studs. I haven't switched to the studs I ordered. The screws keeps everything lower on the top of the battery. I ended up getting 25mm long studs and will cut them shorter if I switch to them.Alternatively... you could get stainless or brass studs and nuts... and not worry about damaging a battery...
