I live in South Africa. I ordered 2 Canon equivalent batteries for my EOS300D. Paid via Paypal. The equivalent battery in SA costs about US$100.00. I received 2 for US$32.97 delivered to SA. They arrived in less than 2 weeks. I have and will in future recommend Sterlingtek to all my friends and colleagues.

The shopping and checkout experience was fine, my order was being shipped to a P.O. box so I didn’t expect a tracking number, however I did expect an email letting me know that it had shipped. I had placed my order on Wed. and by Thursday all I had received was an email confirming my order. I emailed them and got a reply by that afternoon that they had shipped the same day I had ordered it. the package had already arrived in my box! Very efficient shipping, good customer support, they even gave me the tracking number (USPS doesn’t track packages very well... however it did show my package got put in the mail). I am very pleased with the product. It is exactly what I was expecting, third party batteries. The color is more green then the picture on the website… but I couldn’t care less LOL.  
 
Great merchant, I will do business with them again!  

Ordered 2 BP511 batteries from them on Saturday. Received them Tuesday. Very fast service. Would have been a better experience if they emailed me when they shipped it, however. Great experience nonetheless. Hopefully the bad batches I've heard them have were finally replaced by now. Batteries + charger seem to work well for the time being.

I ordered two batteries for my Canon 40d - Prices are excellent. I recieved a confirmation email right away, and recieved my shipment in 3 business days. All of the positive reviews that I've read have proven to be true in my experience. Excellent company - Would buy from again!

Purchased 3 batteries and 1 charger and received them within a reasonable amount of time. Batteries are excellent working just as good as factory batteries. For the price of the 3, I could have just bought a single factory battery. I would buy from them again.

This is the second time I have purchased from SterlingTek. I will buy from them again when I need more batteries. Excellent company!

After reading online recommendations, I ordered a BP-511 replacement battery for my Canon 20D. It arrived in three days! It's much cheaper than Canon batteries, and it seems to fit and work just like the original, though I don't know how many shots it will last yet.

I've had great experiences with Sterlingtek in the past. While they're batteries might not last as long as genuine canon batteries, they're a heck of a lot cheaper and well worth it. This time, I ordered some extra camcorder batteries for a trip. I needed them delivered by a Friday and selected the proper shipping option. To make sure I would receive the batteries on time, I e-mailed customer service to verify the shipping information and get a tracking number. The representative was very helpful. To my surprise, the package arrived the next day, even though I selected 2-day shipping.

I paid a little bit extra for express shipping on two Canon compatible batteries, and they came as quickly as advertised. The replacement compatible batteries look just fine, at a price much less than half that of original Canon batteries. I would do business with them again.

ordered two batteries for my Canon 30D. They didn't fit, so I sent them back (from the Netherlands). Within one week I got two new batteries, that fitted just fine. No extra charge for First Class delivery! Excellent after sale service!!

Based on recommendations from a popular digital photography website (DPreview.com), I purchased two BP-511 camera batteries and a charger from sterlingtek.com. I placed the order on Friday, 3/2/07 with the items being shipped to GA. I received the complete order on Monday, 3/5/07. Extremely fast turnaround! Everything works fine. One very minor complaint though...the batteries are just a tad snug in my EOS 10D's add-on BG-ED3 battery grip but I solved that problem by placing a piece of scotch tape on the flat side of each battery with a folded piece hanging off the end. The tape gives me a nice pull tab to easily slide the batteries out. They both fit in the camera's regular battery chamber just fine without the need for the tape pull tab. They also fit fine in the battery chamber my wife's Digital Rebel also without the need for the pull tab.  
 
The battery charger is much more compact and therefore convenient than the one that came with my camera. I will definitely order from SterlingTEK again!

Bought 3 batteries from SterlingTek for two different cameras. Not only do they have the best prices around, but their shipping prices and speed simply can't be beat. I had the batteries sitting on my doorstep the 3rd day. All 3 batteries work great and have already lasted more than the OEM batteries.  
 
Cameras the batteries were purchased for:  
Canon EOS 20D, Sony DSC F707

This is my second order from Sterlingtek. The first was batteries for my Rebel XT. I've been using them for some time now and have been very happy, especially for the price compared to Canon's batteries. When I got my wife a used Digital Rebel I ordered two batteries for her camera. We got them quickly and they were on sale too. I'll definitely order again and recommend Sterlingtek.

I would like to say that this is an A-1 company. I ordered 2 bp-511 batteries and charger yesterday and it was delivered the very next day. It was well packaged although there were no general instructions its not hard to figure out. So you guys get 2 thumbs up from me.

I believe this is my fifth order from Sterling. The items have always shipped quickly, have been as advertised, work well and are very price competitive.  
 
I have had poor response via EMail but good interface over the phone. Very pleased with my experiences.
