“It took 7 days for my battery to come from China”

Dom D.

2/21/11

It took 7 days for my battery to come from China. They don't use Royal Mail but Parcel Force. Got slightly worried when I found out they were shipping from China, but all went well, the price was right and the delivery was, all things considered, fast. Their battery search engine is good, the look and feel of the website not so good. They're cool, I will use them again.

“Dangerous fire hazard”

Gerald B.

4/7/21

When trying to install the battery it became apparent that 2 wires could be seen and shorted out in the centre mounting hole where a metal screw needs to be installed. This, unknowing to my son, instantly shorted out the battery upon installation and caused the battery terminal where it connects to the motherboard to catch fire and smoke. Will not answer emails, requested via PayPal that i send a hazardous battery back to them in china at my cost. AS IF BOTH TIS SELLER AND PAYPAL EXPECT ME TO SEND A FIRE HAZARD THROUGH THE POST.

“I ordered a toshiba laptop battery from this after...”

August 13th, 2010

I ordered a toshiba laptop battery from this after doing a google search. The price of around £45 was great. I registered and went to the checkout page it went to the bank visa verification so I knew that at least it was authentic it was under a Mr Zu...

After a week no delivery. I emailed them. They replied on Monday saying that they had dispatched the battery on 01August 2010. That being a Sunday I guessed that this item is going to take a while as it looks like they are based in China and are going to post it to me. Another week past and nothing. I emailed them 3-4 times with no reply (even thoough their email said that if I have any queries not to hesistate and contact them). As I write the battery did arrive 12th August 2010. Great packaging. Opened and was relieved and grateful to find a brand new toshiba replacement battery. After 1 hour charging it was ready to use showing 2 and a half hours battery life which is comparable to the orginal battery life. What a relief! I sent them an email to thank them. So yes the website does appear to be a fraud but I can assure you it is genuine! I am living proof that they do deliver if you can handle the three week wait.

Answer:

Yes i recieved my laptop battery as promised. Howver, it does take three weeks or so for the order to arrive in the UK from China. You will not lose your money. I thought I did as it was nearly three weeks with no contact from the supplier except for the two confirmations that they had taken my money and that the order had dispatched (they only told me this after I chased them twice by email). So yes it does seem to be fine. The website may look a bit dodgy, but to be fair as someone said the goods do arrive in perfect condition. I am using my laptop with the battery in and it is still typing and showing an incredible performance. So bottom line is dont be afraid you will not lose your money. I can vouch for that fact because after not having had any contact I did a google search to see if is was a scam it wasn't because I did receive the goods three weeks later. Interesting that in their email they write your goods will arive shortly which proabably is a good indicator that it is going to take a while. I think we are so used to next day delivery with most of the internet sites that we forget that smaller firms based abroad to keep costs down do take a little while longer. So yeah... good site.
