Reliable site to order a laptop battery? Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,

I'm looking for a reliable website to order a laptop battery (DV8-1190ef). I have already ordered from FNAC and received a non-compliant battery that burned out after 1 hour of use...
I found the website Pcportablebatterie.fr http://www.batterie-pour-pc-portable.fr/batterie-pour-hp-pavilion-dv8-1190ef.html

But I'm wary of it because the payment method is strange in that they ask me to pay before they ask for my address or where I want my order delivered... usually personal information is filled out first.

Which site should I choose?
Thank you in advance.

I placed an order too hastily on the site batteries-pc-portables.fr for a replacement Asus battery. I had doubts because there were no contact details for the seller, no company registration, no request for customer information, etc., but payment was made instantly with PayPal. After researching online, I became worried because the site was presented as not recommendable, so I thought it was a scam since everything that was written happened, an email in English with an estimated delivery time of 15 days, battery coming from Singapore and by air.
I want to reassure some buyers that not everything necessarily goes wrong.
Indeed, I received my battery, and I thus made a saving of 50% compared to an original battery.
But I remind you that it is very important to be vigilant; maybe I was lucky or maybe it’s slander; in any case, for now, the battery works.

Hello,

I want to emphasize that your instinct of distrust was correct.
DO NOT order from this site, I don't know it, but everything about this site feels like a scam. And when I say everything, I mean everything.

I have doubts about this site; when you click on "Add to cart," it actually reveals a PayPal button that allows you to send money for the indicated amount of the item, so I do not recommend it.

So I did well not to order from this site! I live in Haute-Vienne. Perhaps buying from a specialized store is the best option?

Hello

following all the information on this site, I got a bit anxious about my order (a HP battery). It took a little while, but it arrived after 15 days, and it was in accordance with the order.... I'm waiting to see the quality of this battery in use! .... so for me, it's a 7 out of 10 because it's a bit slow! .....

Hello,

I also ordered from this site without paying too much attention (initially thinking it was a French site)
I paid via PayPal so I wasn't too worried (worst case, I could open a dispute)

Result:
- Delivery from Singapore after a good two weeks (longer than what was stated)
- The battery matches the description
- However, I saw that the Gift box was checked on the package, so the seller avoided paying customs fees...

I would recommend a French site instead, but if you, like me, have already ordered, there's no need to worry...

I confirm, the site "battery for laptop fr" should be avoided.
I stupidly ordered a battery from them some time ago, trusting a French site, without thinking to look further. Payment made, no response, nothing. I write an email, I get a reply in English... For a French site... that's pretty bad.
I am told that the battery was shipped from Singapore with a link for tracking the package and a tracking number.
No news or package during the following days. I therefore go to the link to track my package, but the tracking number does not exist...!
I rewrite an email asking for explanations.
I get a reply in English, telling me that they are sorry but the batteries are prohibited and that it has been sent back to the sender. If I want it again, they are willing to refund me 5 euros on the amount, and otherwise, they will refund the transaction. I replied that I wanted not only the transaction amount with an additional 5 euros as compensation, all without delay. We'll see what happens, if I at least break even...
So, site to avoid...

To date, I have been refunded the entire amount paid for the order. I admit I harassed them with not-so-nice emails, but it paid off. So there it is... The loop is closed, but I won't fall for it again.

Let's conclude: It's not exactly a scam, but you need either a lot of patience or a lot of patience and tenacity...
