    is this 144 pack?

    • Aussybob on 14/03/2020 - 22:41

      can't be right

        One possibility, not considered below (as far as I've read, down there) is:

        A business is going under, & had a huge qty of batteries in rented space, & - rather than have to pay more rent (say from April), they're dumping them onto the market (rather than in a landfill)

        Unlikely, but I bought a few,must in case.

        The AAA deal will give us a few long (10 yr) shelf-life batteries [for the cat's remote control spider toy & our Soeks Geiger Counters]

          They can dump at any liquidator and get at least 5 X more !

            @popsiee: Altho listing says "New" could their dats
            be near some "Dom't Sell After" date?

            Unlikely.

            Maybe the owner wants to help folks &/or
            "preppers" ready themselves for any not-
            so-optimal outcome of the COVID-19
            pandemic…?

            Even less likely.

              @IVI: That $10 Delivery fee was the only reason I didn't try to "drop ship" - as gifts - some of -every- kind of cell (incl'g Lithium AA) that this vendor has been offering…to friends!

              (There was no way to combine diff. cell types into 1 Order & get it sent, costing just $10 for the combo.)

              PS Could the vendor be an older person (at higher risk of dying from COVID-19), who has that disease, & has no heirs to take over the business…?

          • IVI on 15/03/2020 - 06:42
            -3

            @popsiee: Maybe their rent would be even more than that
            OR the cost of getting them shlep per over
            to liquidator is projibirive…?

            PS Maybe there's a Divorce / Property Settlement due, soon, &
            a disgruntled party doesn't want the other party to get as much $…?

        • IVI on 15/03/2020 - 06:37

          Is there a precedence for this kind of offering, &…

          HAS ANYONE -EVER- GOT WHAT THEY ORDERED,
          AT SIMILARLY WILD PRICES?

      they will just send out 1 battery.
      I've seen many of these issues on Amazon US listing's and people often comment saying 'they only received 1'.

      Prepare to be disappointed lol

  • Frayin on 14/03/2020 - 23:02

    Either I get 432 batteries for $13.70 delivered, or I get an Amazon voucher. Either way lol.

      Why would you think that you're "entitled" to an Amazon voucher?.

      By the way it's not even sold by Amazon itself. Third party marketplace seller.

        By the way it's not even sold by Amazon itself. Third party marketplace seller.

        And the one time I bought from a third party seller on Amazon, I got an incorrect item and Amazon didn't want nothing to do with me - I had to organise with the seller a return satchel (and it took a long argument for them to even pay return postage)

            @No ONE: Not sure why you got negged for a correct statement.

            If amazon "didnt want nothing to do with me", then Amazon helped, as that is a double negative.

    • bargainshooter on 14/03/2020 - 23:40

      This is not backed by Amazon's return policy. It's a marketplace seller, much like ebay. Most likely a fake product.

    • sexy on 15/03/2020 - 00:13

      Most likely you will only receive 4 batteries and need to send it back for a refund. Probably you will waste the time worth much more than $10 but I don’t know
      Good luck

          It actually doesn't matter. Amazon can shirk responsibility in the US with this kind of thing but the same thing doesn't fly here.

          I've had items from third party sellers which had to be refunded and Amazon chat have always taken care of it even though they didn't "back it". It's the law and they rely on people not chasing it up so they don't have to follow through. American based companies are usually the worse to deal with for refunds because they're used to going by their own BS policies, but they HAVE to do it if they want to sell to Australians. Sometimes they just need to be reminded.

          This particular seller is Australian, so there's no way they can get away with not honouring or refunding.

          • justtoreply on 15/03/2020 - 03:10

            @Freezies: What law?

                  @justtoreply: Never ceases to amaze me how little people understand ACL and jump on here and quote so called rights.

                  ACL is between you and the seller. Amazon is the marketplace.

    • Arcticfox on 15/03/2020 - 10:04

      It also says 144 batteries in the description. That would be enough to get a full refund here.

    • ruddiger7 on 15/03/2020 - 12:28

      Delivery fee stays as is if ordering multiple packs. Ordered 8 and still only pay $10 delivery.
      Even if it's only a 24 pack, try buy 200 batteries for $17 elsewhere.

        Amazon just looks at the description.. since its a 3rd party seller then they cannot be sure its a box.

        Hope you get the deal, if not then you will need to make the hassle of returning the item for refund.

        • Nilfunds on 16/03/2020 - 20:22

          you have a point. we will see.
          it wouldn't be worth the time for a $14 refund vs time spent

    • Japius on 15/03/2020 - 14:41

      24 per pack, title says 144 batteries so 6 packs is the assumption. Either way I believe these are a price error and because it’s a third party seller they will just cancel the orders when they get in on Monday. And amazon won’t need to be involved at all.

      Hi All,

      This is my Amazon store. We had a listing error with Amazon and price is actually for 1 battery. The data we sent was correct however Amazon replaced the title with their title linked to their ASIn

      We are working with Amazon to refund all orders as there was over 7000 orders placed.

      Please understand this is a nightmare situation for me, even trying to clear the 7000 emails i received in my inbox over the weekend and also the cancelation requests in addition. I plead with you not to create a cancel order request, this will be done and we are working with Amazon, you will definitely get your money back.

      Im trying to be as open and transparent as possible here to keep everyone informed.

      In light of all of this i will put together a special deal on these batteries for those that still want some of them. It will of course be nowhere near as good but i am looking to do it at a very small margin that would allow me to cover my costs and it will still be the best available on line or offline.

        What kind of structures do you have in place ? Any average run business would have picked up after 100 orders piling in that potentially something is wrong . You had 7000 orders and no alert !

      • ScottTheFalcon on 21/03/2020 - 13:15

        Hi there.

        The offer was too good to be true but hey, give it a go :)

        An email from Amazon says I have not been charged for my order (upon cancellation) but my bank statement disagrees - I see the charge sitting there on it. Is this just a "wait a while" to see?
