[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8659486, member: 614752"] Yeah, that express shipping is high. My plan B if there was a larger minimum order was to just buy the extras and flip them on eBay. I'm sure there's plenty of people who would pay 40$ a pop to have them in 2-3 days shipped from USA. Replaced 5 55ah and 3 110AH in the Jeep (which was really inadequate for my needs). That's much happier with the weight. Civic had a bunch of smaller AGMs in the spare tire well . I think the damage has been done in the Civic, it's still sitting right on the ground, so we need to replace the shocks in that then we'll see how much better she sits. Consider any alternative for energy storage for our purposes and these are still a value at 30 a cell, more so if they actually give us the life expectancy even half of advertised. Like I said, I shopped out all the suppliers of those cells, and the one I posted delivered the goods and gave me the best vibe up front. Any of the cheaper priced options seemed quite sketchy. The Kok Power company seemed legit but like I said they only did bank transfer or western union (more cost/no buyer protection) and the gal who I spoke with on the phone there wasn't nearly as strong with English as Mr. Wan at Baiguan.... probably not a deal breaker at this point but I had a lot of questions being that nobody except that fella in Russia was using these at the time I ordered mine. As I recall, a few of the sellers mentioned minimum order weight for the slow/cheap shipping so you may well have to gang up with some other folks if you prefer savings over waiting. Again, though, after you pay to ship them again via UPS or whatever that will chip into any savings you might have realized from a group buy. [/QUOTE]
