Fogstar Wholesale - Exclusive battery prices for forum members in the UK and Europe

[BillGordon]

Totally agree. This is one of the best first vendor posts I’ve seen, neatly slotted into “Vendor Corner” like a boss.

Do think he should link https://www.fogstar-wholesale.co.uk/ in the first post

[BillGordon]

Yup.

All the prices you mentioned are higher than what’s listed on your web-site, with the exception of the 30Q. Am i missing something?

[mutantbass]

the ones on the wholesale website are without tax and the ones listed here are including.

[BenF]

I’ve done some discounts for forum members and the prices above are available via email to wholesale@fogstar.co.uk. I want to support communities rather than just stick a code on the website. And it allows me to give a better price

Edit: Oh right! I assumed most people here will be DIY enthusiasts. So prices in the main post are including VAT. However, able to knock VAT off for those with an EU VAT number.

Hey I see there’s issues with shipping to USA. Do you have the same issues with Canada?

[BenF]

All the Americas are generally a risky clearance @stratoglide. You can minimize the risk with a slow sea shipping method, but ultimately you’ll never eliminate it. Cells are low profit and high volume, so orders are expensive to lose when they get trapped in customs and then destroyed. The profit is generally not worth the risk. Cells that do make it through to US/Canada vendors are generally expensive as they are offset against the shipments that didnt make it through. This means that Europe prices are dropping due to an overstock, and North America prices are rising/staying the same.

Yow Ben,

Awesome to see this discount for our community. Are you going to stock nickel etc in the future?

Maybe I order my next batch off cells at your company

[BenF]

Thanks! Nickel (with independant test reports) cell holders, tabs, shrink wrap etc is all on route. Let me know if you need anything

[pjotr47]

Let me send you a pm

It was at this point in KfromtheBay’s life that he had finally realized… maybe the good ol’ US of A, wasn’t for him… I never thought battery prices would be what lead me to seek new citizenship

I’m starting to doubt my choice of being born a Canadian…

Try buying a single part from Torqueboards or Boardnamics over here, and you’ll regain your patriotism instantly

If you need help purchasing from China, let me know and I’ll have our China office draw up a legally binding contract between us and the vendor you choose to buy from (No charge). Chinese may lie to foreigners, but they definitely wouldn’t lie or breach a contract between them and another Chinese company.

Anyone around the world here, who wants to order from China. Please email our employee amy@fogstar.co.uk and ask her to personally order and vet your chosen vendor for you. She is more than happy to give advice, create contracts and help for no fee whatsoever.

MVP right here everyone. Drop everything you’re holding and salute… even babies.

[Tamatoa]

@BenF would you have anyone to suggest in China? Just asking so that you don’t receive a bunch requests to contact just about every companies listed on alibaba.

[BenF]

Hey @Tamatoa. I wouldn’t like to publicly recommend any Chinese company incase they make me look stupid I’ll do everything I can to help though!

Edit - Most chinese companies have the capacity to supply both fake and authentic cells.

No worries Ben, we can understand that it could go wrong and have uncomfortable consequences.
