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.
Dont use, don't use, don't use, don't use, don't use, don't use,! Rubbish, service, rubbish delivery times, rubbish correspondence.
The only one thing there good at it taking your money as quick as you like.
DONT NOT USE THIS COMPANY OR SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR CASH. THEY ARE NOT FROM UK BUT FROM CHINA
I ordered a battery at the end of December, but expected it to be delayed due to the weather conditions and the Christmas period. It is the beginning of February, and still no battery. I have emailed, and received replies along the lines of "please do not worry, we will send another one". Of course no 'other' one has shown up. Definitely a scam, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!
Shame I didn't see sitejabber before ordering.
I've had all the same problems that others have described.
Battery hasn't been dispatched and can't get my money back.
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.
Avoid this scam at all cost... i have lost 65 US$...
IV also ordered a laptop battery took the money pretty quick, did have an email confirmation but no battery so looks like im like the rest good bye to £100. Git! Site does not look that god anyway should have looked more into it. Do not order from these guys they are a scam...
Same thing with me (yet). I ordered a Toshiba battery in 13-4-10. They replied me when i sent them e-mail at 23-4-10 that has been dispatched from 17-4-10 but i'm still waiting...(6-5-10)... i sent them other emails without any response...
I don't know what to say... but i think i will be one more idiot that paid for something that i will never get...:(
Updated (10-5-10)
Today the battery arrived... after almost a month!
I have used them once only (March 2010). The site is a front for a China supplier. It takes at least a week for goods to come. Communication is a little slow. But, to be fair, the goods were just as described and price was great. THEY ARE NOT A SCAM.
I ordered a laptop battery from them over a week ago. I've never receieved a confirmation email and tried to contact them via their 'contact us' page on the website - however, the 'send' button does not respond. Found a phone number on my paypal payment page - tried calling, but was faced with a weird automated voice - so i hold no hope with this either.
PLEASE do not order from this site - you'll simply be waving goodbye to your money!
Avoid at all costs! Item never arrived although when I tried to query this I got a response to saying it had been delivered. When I replied questioning this I just got the exact same response. No phone numbers, didn't recieve any response when filling in contact us form.
It is a scam, I have also lost money and I was unable to contact the supplier. I was told the battery I ordered had already been dispatched yet it never arrived. Please learn from my mistake and stay away from laptopbatterystore
I have ordered a laptop battery a week ago - The only thing I know is I lost money. There are no contact numbers available.
I have not received any reply to my queries raised via the 'Contact Us' option on the site.
Please stay away from this company.
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.
