Jeers to Banggood.
I just received my order of two Samsung INR18650 30Q batteries.
I was shocked when I saw this package! The batteries are lose in a paper envelopes taped together, both envelopes have pre-punched holes in them where debris can get it. The envelopes are torn and it's obvious that they had been banged around in the mail. At first I thought just one battery was exposed through a rip but then saw the second battery exposed as well. So, both batteries are exposed through rips in the envelopes.
The shipping label, rather than identify batteries, says "charger" and rather than "dangerous goods", it's marked "merchandise".
This package arrived in Vancouver before being shipped to me, which took less than 48 hours from Vancouver (the other side of the country). I'm assuming the package was sent via air once in Canada, but I can't be certain. Either way, this package is unsafe.
Every other battery I've ever received from other companies has been in a plastic case and well packed in a cardboard box (and properly labeled).
I feel like I have just received a package that was pulled out of the clearance bin at the discount dollar store. Horrible! I'm not sure if the batteries are safe to use after being banged around in the mail.
Does Banggood feel this is a safe way to transport unprotected high discharge INR batteries between countries? Even if the shipment was for something other than batteries, is this how Banggood packages their items?
To top it off, the mailman left a key for the parcel box with the envelope. Isn't it dangerous for batteries and metal object to come in contact with each other? I guess the key didn't touch either of the batteries, thank goodness.
I have more batteries on the way too (ordered around the same time) and I'm wondering if I should call the post office and give the tracking number so they can pull the envelope. Maybe I'm over reacting but I don't want anyone to get hurt. I'm not sure what to do.
