glorat Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I probably got the best possible experience ninebot.cn (their own shop) Ninebot One C (2016 model) Ordered on Sunday, arrived same week Wednesday morning. Shanghai 0 delivery fees The other two interesting things of note are that The tmall store had the same bot 100 RMB cheaper... but not sure about delivery (probably still free) This new Ninebot One C has a 160kWH battery so is faster and greater mileage than the international C models (at least until 2016) but I can still take it on an airplane because it is within 160kHW Someone could probably earn some pocket money by purchasing these C models (2299 RMB! or 360 USD), putting them on the plane on holiday/return home and then sell them to a friend :). Or at least get a lot of gratitude from some nephew etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest battery available right now is the monstrous >1500Wh (1.5kWh) by 1RadWerkstatt for 18" Kingsong. My house uses around 14500kWh in a year (with electric heating, which is responsible for most of the power use, and it can be down to -30C = -22F outside in the winter)...

Supersmi Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Reading all this doesn't make me happy. I'm only 10 days far in my waiting so it's possible that i'll have to wait double of that. My details so far - IPS Zero 340 - Purchased from IamIPS (Run Rui) - Price till now 770 USD (should include everything, but still waiting to get it before confirming this is total cost) - On it's way to Belgium - UPS number was given but they told me that status will only change once the package is in Belgium. So I assume they are using another way of transport till the border of belgium and that UPS will take over from there to deliver to me. Strange but it is what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I assume they are using another way of transport till the border of belgium and that UPS will take over from there to deliver to me. Strange but it is what it is AFAIK, IamIPS is the real deal (IPS factory sales). So in that sense, I'd expect you'd be pretty well covered. As for the transport times, it seems airlines are pretty reluctant to transport lithium-batteries (well, can't really blame them, there have been lots of incidents lately, but I still suspect that's caused by the low-quality cheap cells catching fire or worse), so they might have some problems (item is sent for transportation, then rejected by the transport agency, and then they have to find another company)... OTOH, from my experience, here it isn't that unusual for the customs/postal office to hold your packet for a week or more before it starts to travel forwards while already inside the country. We had a postal workers strike a couple of weeks back (and I don't really blame them, they had a good cause with wage cuts and such) that caused some more delays, but even when things were running "normally", I'd have to wait a shipment from Germany (within EU-area) for over a week... after it had already arrived in the country!

OMG, I'm duly corrected! 160Wh obviously... I feel I need to track down and correct all my recent posts on this battery. Especially because I think the right sized 160Wh flight safe battery is the best feature of this specific model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new production line shipped around November 10th, got my UPS tracking number November 17th, and "THE BEAST" arrived today. So, with that said, I'd guess you'd have it under your feet around 3 weeks or less following receipt of your tracking number. I purchased a King Song from ElectricUnicycleReviews.co on Dec 15th, but the site still says "Processing". Did you get any other notification? The holiday season can be crazy busy.. but my 2 emails have not been returned so far. So I'm wondering if there is a backlog of orders that are not shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm wondering if there is a backlog of orders that are not shipping Sometimes, especially during the busy Holidays, just like most of us, Will is surely busy with not only business, but also personal/family things too! I do remeber the processing status taking almost until my Eu arrived to me to be cleared and read "Order Completed". As I've mentioned, ordered mine Oct 27th, the new production units shipped around Nov 10th, got my actual tracking number on Nov 17th, and that tracking number's status remained unchanged until around Dec 3rd or so. Actually was then able to track day to day from that point on as my EU traveled across the US to my door on Dec 8th. So that's about 1 month from the time it actually shipped from China until it arrived on my doorstep. I think that, at times, the delay in Will's response to us may be due to the delays that he experiences when attempting to contact the manufacturer/shippers, etc.... about our products. Stay in touch with him, be patient (so hard to do), and I'm sure that time and information is available he'll get back with ya. There are many processes along your EU's journey that are simply out of Will's control, but just keep in mind that the day will arrive when you have it under your feet. I know (from experience) that checking the status of your new EU, rather on the site or via shipment tracking, can be very frustrating and stir up anxieties from every corner of your mind! However, rest assured that Will is on top of things and will keep directing and facilitating the delivery of your new product. I really do feel that it's just as important to him that you receive what you've ordered in good condition and as timely as possible as it is to you (maybe not exactly, but pretty darn close)!

davek Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 My King Song 14" 800w 680wh arrived on Jan 2. That was only 2 1/2 weeks after ordering. I haven't received the Trolley handle that was order with it yet. After today's attempt at riding, I realize the first couple of days are probably the hardest on both rider and wheel.

Tyred Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I order my Ninebot One E+ from a Belgian website (I am from Belgium): monowiel.be. Ordered it on a Tuesday afternoon, got a text saying they were out of stock 5 minutes after I had ordered. Next day I got a message they had restocked and one was sent my way. The day after (Thursday), I got my Ninebot One E+. So probably would have had the day after I ordered had they been on stock. "Shipping" or sending the NBO to me cost me € 5,- € 999,- for the NBO itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Tyred I am extremely happy with MCM4, this is my second wheel, the first one was generic from ZipWheel from England, I learned on that one! And the difference is very big, but I don't know how big difference will be in comparison to 9B1! But you will not regret if you go for it, it is really good! If you are from Brussels or nearby you can try mine and see how it goes! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andress Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hi, I have ordered two King Songs 14C 680Wh from Neale Gray for 1000USD each (including shipping, taxes and 4amps chargers). Paid 19.11.2015 and received them 11.12.2015. They were already the latest version without the USB hole. They arrived by UPS but the tracking started in Neatherlands and IDK what shipping method was used for the previous part of the journey.
