STAY AWAY FROM THESE GUYS !!!!
I too have become a victim of batterystyle.com’s unethical practices and ecommerce theft! Do not use either Batterystyle.com or ****@****. They are liars and cheats!
I have very similar story to all the other reviews.
In summary:
The keyboard was purchased at batterystyle.com using PayPal.
It delivered here to the U.S. but was damaged as a result of inadequate packaging and rough handling.
I initiated a claim in PayPal.
"Zhang Yancai” & "Cathy" (agreed, there really is no Cathy) requested I close the dispute PRIOR to resolution. PayPal instructs you NEVER to do this as you will have no recourse against the seller if you do.
PayPal denied my claim.
"Zhang Yancai” & "Cathy" suggested I return it for a refund.
The cost to return the keyboard via UPS with guaranteed, door to door tracking was 3 times it's value ($90). It was too expensive to ship it back to China. Zhang Yancai/Cathy told me to return via USPS for $14. The problem is the tracking number associated with this method of shipment only tracks it as far as the U.S. border.
Zhang Yancai/Cathy refuse to acknowledge that they have received the keyboard which I have returned.
They have my keyboard AND my money and have not provided a refund as promised. This is unethical and ecommerce theft.

"Stay away! This company sent wrong batteries I order 2 battery grip changers for a pentax digtal camera and got 2 for a video recorder!
I used paypal to cover the $191.00 I paid for them. Instructions from seller by email to send returns by USPS. I was told buy United states Postal service that the customs tracking number was all I need to show I sent return.
No refund so I file claim with paypal. Now paypal states US customs tracking will not help. Paypal stated I should have used Fedex or like services. Now unless BatteryStyle is forth right saying they got return I am out the $191.00 as I am unable to prove I shipped it. Even with the US customs number I provided. WHAT A RIP OFF BATTERYSTYLE>COM AND PAYPAL are!!"

"I agree:
STAY AWAY FROM THESE GUYS !!!!

They also sent me the wrong part. The part was falsely represented on their web site. After a lot of mails i was asked to return the article to an adress in China. Now they say that they never received the package. I have to be patient (I sent it 10 weeks ago !!!!). Everytime I get a standard reply on my emails and they don't give answers to my questions. They do really nothing for me ;-(
Meanwhile I have bought the article somewhere else and I will never again do business with this company."

"batterystyle.com is the same as batterycentury.com

STAY AWAY FROM THESE GUYS !!!!
They set me the wrong part. The part was falsely represented on their web site. I paid $25 extra for expedited shipping (3-5 days) and it took over 2 weeks to arrive. I got an RMA to return the misrepresented part and months later, after contacting them repeatedly, then they advice me that they will charge me $12 for shipping AND a %15 restocking fee. How can they do this? I already paid for shipping both ways AND they sent a different part than I ordered.
I have been waiting for the refund for over 6 months now and still have not received one, only emails explaining what they will charge me for sending a partial refund."

"Never use this company. They sent counterfeit goods and lied about shipping. Do not use any adpters from this company - they are likely to damage your computer"

"They ripped me off as well, same story..Item is in back order, and then the great we will refund you email. One month later still no refund...I just reported them to paypal, since I used them for the purchase...If you did too, report these guys and bring them down for the scam artist they are!!"

"Zhang Yancai & "Cathy" (yeah right, there is no Cathy) have also taken advantage of us. There has been no e-mail communication since the purchase date of 2 weeks ago, and the customer service number always answers on the 2nd ring with a strange accent (sounds Russian or other European) saying that they are not available. ***-***-**** is just a number to make them look legitimate. This is a reminder to myself & to everybody reading this post, that we all must do a search online (Example: batterystyle.com reviews complaints) prior to trusting an online merchant. Hopefully we will get this resolved with our Credit Card Company. I hope at least one person out there has read this post & then decided not to order from these scam artists."

"do not buy from Zhang Yancai or laptoppartworld.com. It's a scam. You're item will never ship. I am currently initiating a dispute with paypal. Also, the day after I ordered a screen, my credit card was fraudulently being used. Fortunately, the credit card company picked up on it."

"For a client - I had ordered a laptop FL Inverter that was "IN STOCK" according to the website. 10 days later I inquired via email (no answer on phone)as to the status of the part, their response was:

"Hi,
Thank you for your kind cooperation.
We are sorry we are lack of this item in our stock now?
Would you be able to wait for several days?
Waiting for your reply." signed.....Cathy

They wait 10 days to tell me it's not in stock!?!?

When I recieved no response to my 2nd request for a firm date, they responded:

"Hi,
Thank you for your kind cooperation.
We will refund you asap.
Pls check your account later."

If you read all the reviews, you can tell the only 5 star was written by someone with very poor grasp of the english language.

Buyer beware!!! I can only hope they stick to their word and I don't have to dispute the charge."

"Placed order online. Company represents itself as having a US warehouse, phone number, and customer service. Attempted contact on 12/2310, no response. Emailed Cancelation on 12/28/10, no response. initiated Paypal dispute, Zhang Yancai from China with email - ****@**** says don't worry, part is on it's way. Awaiting Paypal reolution.

Deceptive Chinese trade practice. Do not use either Batterystyle.com or Laptopparrtworld.com. I think the are liars and cheats.

"Messed up on shipping. Ordered with UPS shipping got USPS with no tracking. Promised 3 - 7 day shipping, it took 3 weeks. Website said it was in stock in USA, it wasn't, came from Hong Kong. Gave me the run around on refunding the shipping overcharge. Had to turn it over to the credit card company. Has no working telephone for customer service. Answers e-mail once per day, and then doesn't adress your problem. I will never use them again. Good luck and always use a credit card for protection."

"Ordered laptop screen 11 days ago. No one answers emails or phone. No shipping notice. I think I have been taken for $200. Sites like this should be shut down."

"Ordered Sony VGP-BPS9/S Battery (LBSO015S) = $109.99.
I received a generic battery from Chine in 2 weeks.
Called customer service on the website. Noone picks up.
Sent an email to customer service, waiting for a response.
Will keep you posted on my experience.
