No item
February 21, 2017

Further to my post about it being three weeks and no sign of item, I went on to PayPal. Discovered they had not taken my money yet. I cancelled the payment. So retained my money. Ordered another from site I recently bought a laptop battery from. Would have bought both together in the beginning but had already ordered the adapter from the dreadful hotbattery scam. Good luck everyone.

I received no warning that shipping would take this long, but worst of all is not to receive even the courtesy of a reply to 3 requests for status. This smacks of fraud.
I am about to request my credit card company to deny any payments to this company. It may be too late for me, but no one should do business this way.

3 weeks no battery
June 10, 2016

Ordered a battery May 2016. Said it was shipped the next day, received a tracking number that doesn't match up with any shipper. Three weeks later nothing yet. No reply to emails. Should have read the reviews first.

Batteri-butik.se is a scam site and a sister site to hotbattery.co.uk. I received a battery that just simply didn't work and the site owner / manager, Jiangfeng Yu, replies quickly until I asked for my money back - all went quiet for over a week then.

Luckily I paid via PayPal and so was able to claim a refund via them, however, I do not recommend anyone use batteri-butik.se, or any of its affiliates.

Received a laptop battery from this company, it failed after 2 months. There is no phone number and e-mails are ignored so money wasted.

Avoid this site
July 27, 2010

Avoid this site. Purchased a battery in this site, and it never arrived. Contacted site, and got a response from a guy named Jiangfeng Yu in Hong Kong. Communication was impossible. Extract: "Dear Sirs,
27 days have past since this purchase. The item has not arrived. Please advise on shipping status and reason for the delay."

Response: "Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your Order. I am very sorry for the inconvenience that may have caused you. Please return the product, If I received the battery, I will shipping to you change a new battery".

I never got any battery, and lost my €60.

The website is very professionally laid out but the products do not seem to come from this company, they appear to be acting as a broker for individuals all over the world. This meant that when I ordered a battery from this company I was left to liaise with someone in Hong Kong when trying to return under warranty. The costs associated with returning the product made it a waste of time so the laptop battery went in the bin! I've now ordered a cheaper one elsewhere and made a note not to use this company again.
