Terms and Conditions of Use
Welcome to
batteryBob.com: Value - Speed - Service.
We are open 18 hours a day, every day. We
believe we are the friendliest battery website on Earth. Any repeat USA customer
may order without using their CC. Select pay by check & we immediately ship, just let us know in the comments. You
send the payment when satisfied. This is the only 100% secure way on the web; TRUST.
All the other internet security stuff claimed is SPY versus SPY. We know, having been burnt despite having the latest and greatest protections.
We strive to
provide the highest levels of customer satisfaction and top quality brand
products from Maxell, Panasonic, Sanyo, Energizer, Duracell, Sony, Empire
Scientific, Synergy Digital and many
others.
We sell only fresh, new, sealed, date coded products when marked by the factory. Anytime you feel we can serve you better, do not hesitate to drop us
an e-mail.
There are no refurbished or used batteries sold by
reputable merchants. Counterfeit, old & end-of-life-cycle merchandise is dumped at low
prices by some vendors on auction sites and clearance venues: caveat emptor! Batteries can be risky, (the battery industry pays millions for out of court settlements and hush money over exploding camera batteries and fire balls of laptops) just don't take the chance to save a few pennies.

Please read this section prior to purchasing from batteryBob.com and refer
to this area on subsequent visits for the latest changes. Our sales terms
are subject to change without notice. The seller controls all terms of sale
at all times. Typo errors in pricing and product descriptions do occur. We will refund any transaction with a pricing error.
Please always mention
your order number when communicating with us. We are not
responsible for typographical errors or omissions. Battery and product specifications
can change overnight by the factory without warning and our web site may not have
up-to-the-minute facts. We are not responsible if the factory changes their specifications on the product. Confirm with us any mission critical data you
require before ordering.
PricingYou can see your
order total with shipping costs by starting the checkout process. Your
order is not complete until you enter payment information and click the
"Finalize" button.
You will find some of our prices are shockingly low. Do not let this concern
you as we only sell the freshest and newest of batteries. Our mass volume
purchasing allows us to pass the savings on to you. We have over 10 million
batteries available in various Miami warehouses, the largest inventory in
North America of watch batteries. We are not responsible for typo pricing errors and will not accept any order with a pricing error.
Insurance, Shipping and Delivery Times
Insurance will be automatically charged on orders of $20.00 or
more. Please see our insurance
rate table. We do not profit from insurance, handling or shipping.
Free shipping and special promotions with free shipping are limited to USA
destinations only. Canadian customers will be notified about the shipping
up-charge adjustment prior to shipping. Overseas order paid by PayPal have to include the payment for the PayPal fees.
Everything
we sell is FOB our warehouse, 33176. You own the product when it leaves our
warehouse.
If you do not wish to protect and insure your order, please do not place the
order.
We are happy to offer free
USPS (United States Postal Service) First Class delivery anywhere in the
continental United States for many lightweight items, but not everything.
Typical USPS delivery
time is 4 - 14 business days. Actual times vary. If you need faster
delivery, simply select USPS Priority Mail, UPS 2nd Day or Next Day Air,
etc. at checkout, you will pay for it.
Most of the items we carry are in stock and will ship on
the same day you place your order. Orders placed on weekends or holidays
will be
shipped the next regular business day. We ship on Saturdays USPS. USPS may take up to two weeks before
initiating a search for a "lost" package.
Call 800-824-4899 with any questions
about shipping prior to ordering for help choosing your best shipping
option.
We do not make "back-end" money off shipping costs. Go to USPS
or UPS web sites and check our charges out, compare them to other web
sellers. Verify and trust.
If an item on your order is out of stock, we will personally notify you and
we will ship an equal or better
battery the same size and at the same price.
DHL and
UPS automatically insures
all shipments up to $100, that's one reason why businesses choose DHL & UPS.
Insurance above $100 and up is available at a nominal rate. DHL & UPS have
terrific package tracking systems. They are the preferred
choice but more expensive than USPS for small orders. DHL is our premier
shipper and first choice. We use the new USPS SCAN (Shipment Confirmation Acceptance Notification) system on our Delivery Confirmation shipments.
You will be able to use that number on the USPS web site and usually see your package was given to the care,
custody and control of the USPS. The old way just showed a vague message that the USPS was electronically
notified your package would be shipped.
SLA Batteries:
Please examine the batteries in your unit before ordering. If the wrong battery is
ordered, you will be charged
for the return freight
cost and new shipping costs to have the correct battery delivered. Their
hefty weight could lead to a costly mistake. Please take time and be extra
careful.
Free Shipping Policy
We ship on weekends. We ship until 5:45 PM EST M-F and Saturday 7 AM - Noon. All
the carriers are closed office hours on Sunday but we are preparing shipments all day.
To obtain "Free Shipping" on your order, all items in the cart must be those
eligible for free shipping. If your order contains items eligible for free
shipping combined with non-free shipping items, you will be billed the
shipping cost of the entire order. In almost all cases, the items eligible
for free shipping will not adversely affect the shipping charge. If you
wish, you may also place separate orders for both. Separate orders may be
shipped combined or in separate packages with same or different carriers. Factory warehouses ship some items directly to our customers. Your order may be fulfilled by more than one shipment.
"Free Shipping" applies to USA shipments only. There may be extra charges for international shipments because we have to wait in line at the USPS office.

server SSL (secure sockets layer) encryption technology which encrypts all

All returns require a RMA number. Email or call for the number. Items sent back
without a RMA will not be credited, don't bother sending anything back without our permission.

quantity of items shipped, or defective items must be made within thirty
(30) days of receipt. Any single item removed from original packaging may
not be returned unless the product is defective; this is for the entire package.
We test and inspect all RMA products. Defective products will be

our expense. You have to pay the ship costs for any returns. Items under warranty that are returned
have the shipping cost paid by you. We will pay to ship the new products back to you. If you
ordered the wrong product you have to pay to ship them back for refund consideration. There will be
a 20% inspection and handling fee charged for any return.

for another item. If we can't resell the item in perfect packaging don't
bother to return it torn open or scotch taped.Warranty excludes damage due to customer neglect,
