"The short version: we got a couple of little LED keychain lights for a great price with no hassles.

Deciding I'd had it with my AAA Maglite Solitaire, I wanted to get a little LED light for both my self and the missus to put on our keychains. While I'd love an Arc AAA, I couldn't justify that sort of price for an occasional-use light, so I settled for a couple of Photon's Freedom Micro lights.

After searching around for prices, I came across batteryjunction.com, who were offering these at $10 apiece, which is a bargain compared to the $17 asking price on Photon's website. The next lowest price I found was $15.

On top of that, I found a 5% off coupon. Not much, but every little bit helps defray shipping costs.

Speaking of which, batteryjunction.com offered to ship both lights for $5 via USPS. This is a big advantage over other online shops that only want to ship to Hawai'i via Fedex or UPS, and charge exorbitant amounts to do so. $5 is a little steep for such a small, light package and I'm sure they're making some money off that price, but it beat the competition, so I can't complain too much.

The lights arrived in retail packaging in a little padded envelope about a week later. They seem to be as advertised, including the handy little magnetic clip for handsfree use.

Anyway, overall I'm pretty satisfied with this order and with this site."

"I've ordered before from BatteryJunction, and this order was no exception. Every time, it's been the right stuff, on time, no drama.

Exactly as it should be."

"First Battery Junction shipped the order incorrectly. Then when I asked for a RMA and call tag, I was sent an email stating they would refund all charges from the order and a seperate email that said the would also refund any cost of shipping the product back to them. All a LIE to con me into shipping on my dime. They are now claiming they do not refund shipping charges. They shipped the product wrong and expect the customer to pay for their mistakes. There are plenty of companies to do business with...stay away from this one."

"This company charged my credit card knowing they did not have the stock. Then a couple of days later sent a letter saying they will have stock in 10-14 days. After 10-14 days I cancelled, no further notices from BJ. They still say "Usually ships next day" for the products on their site. I do not frequent sites that charge before shipping, I'm sorry I trusted this one."

"Ordered two items including the ThruNite XP-G R5 drop in upgrade for a SureFire G2Z. Upon receipt of my order the ThruNite upgrade was defective. I contacted the store and they informed me that I would incur the shipping costs to send the defective item back to them. Upon speaking with a manager I was told "That's our policy".

I am appalled that I'm expected to spend more money to return a defective product. Apparently it's my responsibility to make sure they send product that works the first time.

I won't be suggesting them or doing business with them or ThruNite again. I'll stick to doing business with companies that stand behind the products they sell. I'll be contacting ThruNite to let them know about this as well."

"I have used Battery Junction before and this was my third order. They have good prices and very fast service. Two days after ordering my items, they were at my door.
Some of the items were promotional gifts for clients, and I ran out of items I had previously ordered. The arrival was right on time before Christmas. "

"-Battery Junction or as in my home we have come to refer to them as "BJ" is like a member of our home. That is during this upcoming holiday season they are dealing DEALS like Santa provides candies at the Mall - lots and often.

Out items arrived on time and the replacement backpack (for little old me) is quite comfortable.

Thanks and they are booked marked under "FAMILY!"

" Lure you in with low prices & false claims of items being in stock, the overcharge on shipping for things you'll never get. Plus, they charge you immediately for what is not in stock!

Ordered 5 items from BatteryJunction all of which were listed as "Usually ships the next business day". After ordering I was later e-mailed that two items were not in stock, but would be soon. I did not cancel the order and I was charged for ALL items, including the ones not in stock. 15 days later they still did not have the most expensive item in stock & could not be sure when they would have it in stock. As of today they still show that item as in stock.

The customer service person said "we have so many items we can't know which ones are in stock". Yet, when they DO know something is not in stock they don't change the info. on the website. This is fraud because (a) they lure you in to purchase baased on cheap prices & high cost for shipping, then fail to deliver; (b) they charge your credit card immediately for items they know they don't have; and (c) refuse to refund the excess shipping charges for items they can't send you.

Stay away"
