Time to stock up on batteries
-
Been using TP batteries almost exclusively for about ten years. Always paid extra for them. But, I recently discovered that they WAY overcharge for shipping.
Proof ?
My last order had one 25c 4S 4000 mAh and one 1350mAh 25c 2S.
Together, they weighed under a pound and they charged $19.62 for ground(only) shipping.No insurance.
Stopped at UPS with the un-opened package ,they weighed and determined that it would cost me $12.14 to return to Nevada.
Called TP and asked is there a handling charge ? "No".
Is there a box charge ? "No".
They refused to say more and refused to make up the difference.
I can well afford the extra $7 overcharge, but it's the principle here.
I calculated that their discounts during special offers are more than offset by their shipping overcharge.

I looked at the orders I placed in the past. One was for 4-4S batteries and a their 4 unit charger. Shipping on that order was $0. I think the were running a special for free shipping on orders over a certain price ( not sure ). The other order was 4-4S batteries. Shipping on that was $10. So all-in-all I have no complainants. So far, the batteries and charger have been first class. I always look at the shipping cost before I finalize an order. If too high I abort. With mail order low amount $ orders always take a beating on shipping. On another thread their is discussion on how having to buy several small items from multiple sources is a killer on shipping. They were sad that Tower was dropping some of the things he needed forcing him to go to several sources to get it all. The good news is that this is supposed to be fun. When it stops being fun it time to bale out and go fishing. All that take is $100,000.00 for a big truck and a big boat. LL~
