Buy rechargeables, avoid landfill!

+ delivery

Is there any code for free delivery? Shame that delivery charge goes up with the order value

No way to get around delivery but you can knock down the delivery to 99p by adding a free delivery item from here http://www.bigpockets.co.uk/free_delivery_addon.php hope that helps (HEAT ADDED BTW)

My turn to mention that 8 alkaline AA batteries are 95p at Wilko.

I use to buy rechargeables but kids kept losing them or leaving them in toys. Thanks OP!

You need to alter the price to £13.48

10 AA Alkaline for £1.50 at Ikea.

Who has enough devices to need to use 100 batteries at a time?

16 2000mah rechargeables are £21.99, good enough for 1000 charges so that works out far far cheaper overall than 80 of these for half the price.

I do. I have 40+ AA's in use at the moment

Bigpockets? Wow, now there's a blast from the past.

Ni Zi rechargeables are available rated as 1.6v for those kind of uses now.

at extortionate prices and questionably quality, I'll stick with these 14p a pop throw away ones for the time being

Wasn't aware bigpockets were still in existence.
Voted hot.

This is a fantastic bargain. £11.99 for 80 Energizer batteries and 90 Garcinia Cambogia capsules.

Thanks OP.

The Ikea ones actually come out very good in tests, better than some "branded" batteries, are marginally cheaper than the ones in the OP's post after delivery is added on and I, like quite a few people, live near to an Ikea. Of course I could buy them mail order and wait in all day for them to arrive. I will consider it. Considered, no thanks. Thanks for sharing your information.

The Ikea batteries seem to have a higher capacity than the Energiser by about 33%.

Cold - have just received the batteries, all expired March 2015! Currently trying to get a refund.

And the same here. Mine arrived in cellophane packs of two, some loose, and only one had the date stamp where it should be which was March 2015. The rest had an etched date stamp on the side, some of which were illegible but most of which were 2013. Not sure if they're even legitimate Energizers as on the Energizer website it clearly states that the expiry date will be printed clearly at the top of the battery. Most likely fakes.

Has anyone had any luck with a refund yet?

You lot sound surprised. Big Pockets has a history of taking the peace out of customers. It has been in liquidation at least once, and has/had links with that other Boffer bunch of naughty chimps.

I hope you paid by Paypal, as it seems to be the only way of ever getting a refund (based on previous experience) - they will use every trick/excuse in the book (expect to hear "well, we didn't mention anything about expiry dates in our advert and the batteries still hold some charge. You purchased batteries, we sent you batteries. Now go away.")

And before anyone mentions Trading Standards, the Big Pockets / Boffer brigade will just laugh at you. Think of them as the internet equivalent of Del Boy, but without the personality, charm and charisma :smiley:

Actually, the photograph on the advert showed an expiry date in 2018. They were listed as brand new with full manufacturers warranty.

have now for a returns label!

That's shocking. Truly shocking. Seem's they are trying to screw people out of money because not everyone would go through the hassle of sending the batteries back

BigPockets apologized and said it was an error at their end by sending old stock. They sent me a free return postage slip, asked me to return them and resent me batteries that are in date until 2017, all done very quickly too. I have to say that I can't fault their customer service, they sorted out the problem very quickly and without any fuss. :smile:
