I would not shop here again !!check expiration date!! by garaynews ,Dec 09 '07
I will not buy again from this site. If you buy a quite large quantity of batteries they will send you almost expiring date cells. When I call customer service about that they told me that the batteries will be good for to 5 years after expiration date!!!
contrary to what Maxell custumer service said: Expiration date means that they are not garantie afer the due date. there are 2 dates: manucfacturing date and expiration date. Also when you call B&B custumer service they have a person with really bad attitude to answer the calls I decided to keep the almost old cells they send because I dont trust them to change them an return them to me. Would you buy from them?
THE COMPANY MAKES NO PROVISION FOR SHOWING TOTAL COSTS TO A BUYER BEFORE PROCESSING THE ORDER!
Quick shipping, quality items. GREAT prices. by thedraac ,Dec 16 '08
Placed order on a Sunday, received on Tuesday. Excellent shipping. Ordered AA, AAA, 9V and button cells. Terrific prices, half what you would pay at Wal-mart. For the price I paid I received twice as many or in the case of the 9V batteries, 3 times as many batteries for the same or cheaper Wal-mart price. And these are Energizer Alkalines not no name dry cell batteries. Good use by dates, 2010, 2013 and 2015. I'll use these up in 6 months to a year. As for shipping charges, they state $10.00 for orders under $25, and actual UPS shipping on orders over $25. My shipping charges were a mear $6.81 !!!!
Haven't had to deal with customer service, but my transaction went perfectly smooth. I would recommend you give them a try.
They do not show you the shipping cost. Beware that there is handling cost too. Their small prises are deceitful. They add handling and shipping (which you don't know until they charge you). So the total cost can be much higher than you expect.
Would not buy from them !!! by chevy1957 ,Apr 05 '07
They did not stand behind a defective battery. They said they would have to talk to the supervisor and call me back, whats up with that. They did not call me back. Not impressed.
Very happy and will shop again by elchonon1 ,May 13 '08
Great site, VERY large selection!! Prices are very good and shipping was fast. Seller communication was satisfactory, Item well packed in good condition and as advertised. Overall very satisfied with products and services.
Will NEVER buy from them again! by chrisben777 ,Oct 28 '08
Purchased from them twice. First time had to call to inquire about order after one week, was told they just got a large shipment in and were behind. Guess what! Second time exact same thing! To top it off the no-service person refused to give me a tracking number so I still don't know if my order has even shipped. Order 77589
Easy on-line ordering, e-mail me the shipping and tracking information. No Problems! by seesales ,Jan 07 '04
Ordered 16 disposable camera on December 31th and received them Jan 6th. They e-mail me my shipping and tracking information. Talk to customer service very polite. Very happy with sale. I would buy from them in the future.
I will never buy from here again. Placed an order on September 14, 2008 and as of today, October 21, 2008, I have not received my order and they will not respond to my emails.
FORGET ABOUT IT!!! Placed an order on Tuesday...no results. Called on Thursday and Friday because I didn't receive any shipping info. Customer service says they were closed on Mon. and Tues. so I give them a break. The following Mon. I call and it still hasn't gone out. Only excuse is that they were closed for a couple of days. It doesn't take 4 - 5 business days to process a simple order. A total waste of time... THEIR WEBSITE SAYS THEY SHIP 99% OF ALL ORDERS WITHIN 24 HOURS.
2a lithium batteries. Advertised as free shipping over $25 purchase, they were ordered 8/15/2008 And I had not received them by 8/26. I MADE A CALL talked to someone called Shaloh and did receive them three days later with an UNAUTHORIZED CHARGE OF AN ADDITIONAL $4.80. My order number is #71754. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE
misleading and unconcerned by rbcbadger ,Jun 08 '09
This site is as extremely misleading in it's representation of it's battery sales prices. The web page shows a picture of 5 watch batteries on a tear strip. It says you must order a minimum of 2. I thought I was ordering two tear strips of 5 for the "each" price. What I received was 2 batteries. I paid $10 ship/handle thinking it was worth it to get such a great deal. I paid $17.50 and have 5 watch batteries to show for it. When I called to complain that the web site was misleading, I had to wait 10 minutes to speak to a "sales" rep who could understand me. The woman answering the phone did not speak English well enough to understand what I was talking about. I guess the cheap football mini light sent with my order was supposed to make it all alright.
beware!! you get what you pay for!! by wanderer115 ,Oct 23 '09
buyers beware!!!!...it does not matter if you buy for personal use or for some business function, please look at the descriptions carefully....even if you called them to verify information i have found that they lie about the products they sell....i was suspicious that they delayed telling you the shipping charges....i ordered 25 batteries and received batteries that were four months from expiring....their customer service had a don't care attitude on the phone .....definitely will not buy again.!!!
It was great. The batteries I wanted were available and pricing was excellent. I will be a return shopper. Read more

our first order was delivered ok with the proper batteries.
on our second order, i ordered everedy/ energizer brand batteries , but received a substitute brand, which i never heard of before, and which are listed on the web site at a lower price. (i was charged the everedy price)
on another situation, the web site describes the d cell 2-packs which i ordered as "panasonic industrial" batteries.
i received panasonic consumer batteries instead.
also, i have sent email inquiries on two occaisions regarding their inventory of other types of batteries which we use in significant numbers, but never received any sort of reply whatsoever.
to sum it up, their pricing is attractive, when, AND ONLY WHEN, they ship exactly what you ask for.
their customer service and commitmment to providing exactly the products that you order leave alot to be desired.
they appear to have a tendency to provide inaccurate descriptions of products on their web site, or perhaps even a proclivity towards shipping cheaper procucts as substitutes for items ordered.
they do not communicate with customers in any way after the order is received, except to ship it and arrange for some third party to notify you of the shipment status without the ability to respond to their notification.
there is no mention of shipping alternate goods, or query as to tha acceptability of substitute products.
while i will not completely stop buying from them, i will be very carefull about what i order, and what i actually receive. Read more

Excellent customer service. Since the items were being delivered to a remote location, I had to call the vendor to get a copy of the invoice for my records. My phone call was promptly answered by a human, who understood what I needed and faxed me a copy of the invoice within minutes. When the items were delivered, an itemized and priced invoice was included with the shipment. Read more

I have purchased from Batteries and Butter - I believe this is my 4th order, they treat me like I am important to them, even though I probably order small orders, they answer any questions or emails I send them. They are VERY HELPFUL, I doubt I will take my business anywhere else but to them for my battery needs. They carry other items for great prices, and we try these out, one or two at a time, but the prices, TO US are very good. I have not found the same items I purchase from them any cheaper anywhere, and I am a serious price shopper. In fact this last order I am not even sure they had what I needed, but were able to fullfill my order in less than a few hours. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR BATTERIES AND A COMPANY THAT CARES ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. EXTREMELY EASY TO USE WEB SITE. Read more

My only suggestion for improvement is as follows:
The final price including shipping could not be given during the transaction process. That was stated on the screen - so I was aware of it. However, that could be improved by including that information in the automated system. Read more

Products were great and at a very, very good value - they cost less than one-third of what I pay at a local store. Shipping did take longer than expected and packaging was in an "altered" box that was excessively taped. I will shop here again. Read more
