      Yep, of course there has been lots of controversy surrounding intl shipment of powerbanks. Store Rep confirmed that BG is shipping them - whether or not they make it to your door… ymmv. People seem to have had no issues with refunds etc.

        Refund is all well and good, but why have your cash tied up for 2 months waiting for something that won't turn up, then resorting to Mushtato etc?

        All the couriers are now getting onboard with the new regulations which will fully take effect in January. There's already been reports of people not getting power banks from BG.

          http://www.chinapost.com.tw/business/global-markets/2016/02/…

          WASHINGTON — Cargo shipments of the rechargeable lithium batteries used in countless consumer products should no longer be allowed on passenger planes because they can create intense fires capable of destroying an aircraft, a U.N. aviation agency has concluded.

          The decision late Monday by the Montreal-based International Civil Aviation Organization's top-level governing council to ban the shipments isn't binding, but most countries follow the agency's standards. The ban is effective on April 1.

          "This interim prohibition will continue to be in force as separate work continues through ICAO on a new lithium battery packaging performance standard, currently expected by 2018," said Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu, the ICAO council's president.

          Namrata Kolachalam, a U.S. Transportation Department spokeswoman, called the ban "a necessary action to protect passengers, crews, and aircraft from the current risk to aviation safety."

          ICAO's decision frees the department to begin work on regulations to impose a ban. Airlines flying to and from the U.S. that accept lithium battery shipments carry 26 million passengers a year, the Federal Aviation Administration estimates.

          A law passed by Congress in 2012 at the behest of industry prohibits the Transportation Department from issuing any regulations regarding air shipments of lithium batteries that are more stringent than ICAO standards unless there is a crash that can be shown to have been started by batteries. Since most evidence in crashes is destroyed by fire, that's virtually impossible to do, critics of the provision say.

          Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., who authored the provision, has said that since batteries are an international industry there should be a single, international standard, otherwise it would be too confusing for shippers to follow multiple rules.

          Lithium-ion batteries are used in a vast array of products from cellphones and laptops to some electric cars. About 5.4 billion lithium-ion cells were manufactured worldwide in 2014. A battery is made up of two or more cells. A majority of batteries are transported on cargo ships, but about 30 percent are shipped by air.

          The ban doesn't apply to batteries packaged inside equipment like a laptop with a battery inside, for example.

          PRBA — The Rechargeable Battery Association, which opposed the ban, said in a statement that the industry is preparing to comply with the ban, but there may be "significant disruption in the logistics supply chain," especially for batteries used in medical devices.

          Aviation authorities have long known that the batteries can self-ignite, creating fires that are hotter than 1,100 degrees. That's near the melting point of aluminum, which is used in aircraft construction.

          Safety concerns increased after FAA tests showed gases emitted by overheated batteries can build up in cargo containers, leading to explosions capable of disabling aircraft fire suppression systems and allowing fires to rage unchecked. As a result of the tests, an organization representing aircraft manufacturers — including the world's two largest, Boeing and Airbus — said last year that airliners aren't designed to withstand lithium battery fires and that continuing to accept battery shipments is "an unacceptable risk."

          More than other types of batteries, li-ion batteries are susceptible to short-circuit if they are damaged, exposed to extreme temperatures, overcharged, packed too close to together or contain manufacturing defects. When they short-circuit, the batteries can experience uncontrolled temperature increases known as "thermal runaway." That, in turn, can spread short-circuiting to nearby batteries until an entire shipment is overheating and emitting explosive gases.

          It's not unusual for tens of thousands of batteries to be shipped in a single cargo container.

          The U.S. delegation to ICAO decided last October to back a ban, calling the risk "immediate and urgent."

          Since 2006, three cargo jets have been destroyed and four pilots killed in in-flight fires that accident investigators say where either started by batteries or made more severe by their proximity. The International Federation of Air Line Pilots Associations lobbied the ICAO council unsuccessfully to extend the ban to cargo carriers.

          Dozens of airlines have already voluntarily stopped accepting battery shipments, but others oppose a ban. KLM, the royal Dutch airline, made a presentation to a lower-level ICAO panel arguing against a ban, according to an aviation official familiar with the presentation. KLM and Air France are owned by a Franco-Dutch holding company. Representatives from the Netherlands and France on the dangerous goods panel voted last fall against a ban.

          The official wasn't authorized to speak publicly and spoke on the condition that he not be named.

          KLM officials didn't respond to requests for comment.

          And it's completely related to the topic. People have been having to get refunds from Geekbuying, AliExpress etc due to the power banks getting turned back. Yet you really think GB is exempt from this?

          DHL:

          A wide variety of electronic goods powered by Lithium Batteries are affected by the new regulations, regardless of whether they are rechargeable (Lithium Ion) or non-rechargeable (Lithium Metal). The regulations apply when:

          • Lithium Batteries are packed and shipped as individual items (loose/bulk). Example: Loose Batteries/Power bank

          .

          Due to increasing safety concerns raised by the aviation industry, the IATA regulations governing the shipping of Lithium Batteries have been tightened and airlines consequently have to enforce these regulations more rigorously.

          .

          Following an IATA/ICAO decision to ban loose Lithium Metal batteries on passenger aircraft as from January 2015, DHL Express is unable to accept these batteries on its network. The IATA /ICAO regulation applies to loosely packed Lithium Metal batteries adhering to Section II, PI-968 while Lithium Metal batteries packed with equipment (PI-969) or contained in equipment (PI-970) are acceptable for transport.

          .

          This limitation of 2 packages per consignment enters only in force as of 1st of January 2017, since the regulations foresee a 12 month transitional period, however, shippers are recommended to implement it as soon as possible.

          Not sure why you are posting information about Passenger aircraft.

          Most airlines will not allow Lithium batteries in checked in luggage, but it's quite OK to carry then on with hand luggage.

          Anyway, this is tedious. The massive posts are not relevant to this deal, you need to take your rants to the forums.

    • m1nh on 08/09/2016 - 17:48

      There was an error message for me when I didn't pick the colour (used Google Chrome). It's weird that the buyer have to pick a colour when there is only one colour available though.

    Not that I have this requirement at the moment however in the interest of short term future proofing and new and future MacBooks I will upgrade to shortly, does the Xiaomi pro charge a MacBook when out and about with type C?

    • mattman on 08/09/2016 - 20:18

      It will the same as any other power bank, slowly and with an A-C cable. It does not output over type-C, only input. I still like it with my Nexus 6P though, have an A-C cable (braided blitzwolf also on special, xiaomi supplied adaptor is garbage) and I don't need a second wall charger to recharge the power bank itself.

      power banks will be stopped at customs

      They are not illegal to import, so no they will not.

      • spackbace on 08/09/2016 - 18:59

        They're against the regulations to transport

        Go on, buy a power bank from AliExpress/GeekBuying, I dare ya. See how you go with that.

          The power bank I ordered last month with everbuying arrived just fine, no problem there unless the rules have changed recently .

          Rules have changed, refer back to comments on previous EB deals, newer orders were knocked back

          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/259154

          I just got an email from everbuying saying they can't ship the powerbank.
          Here is a quote from the email:
          We are sorry to inform that we can not ship battery or power bank out due to shipping policy. There is no shipping method can ship battery or power bank out.

          @llama:

          Already discussed in the other thread, but lets go over it here as well.

          If you spend the time to read over the DHL site that's already been linked (which reading over that would be less time consuming than the time I've spent trying to tell you otherwise), basically there's a lot more steps involved now, a lot more effort involved. Not as simple as putting it into a parcel and sending it off. There's more forms, and different packaging required. Then there's limits on how many can be together.

        • boozler on 08/09/2016 - 19:34

          Still haven't seen the "so-called rules" that you seem to be alluding to.

        • llama on 08/09/2016 - 20:14

          @Spackbace:

          I just read that other thread, which is laughable that you link to since you copy/pasted the same opinions in there too. I notice you avoided the same questions there as well. I won't continue following your own links to your own posts - the fact that you post things more than once doesn't actually make them any more valid.

          Anyway, like everyone else we're still waiting on facts on this. Got an external link to somewhere factual? (and no, NOT to one of your Ozbargain thread craps).

          Happy to be proved ignorant… so educate me :-)

        • spackbace on 08/09/2016 - 20:22

          @llama:

          So you think a parcel from GB will go through where others have been turned back? Is it coated in some sort of magic wrapping?

          That seems to be a question you love avoiding.

          Or do you just love arguing for the sake of arguing?

          Just waiting on facts. Sarcasm, personal opinion and scaremongering are not facts.

          do you just love arguing for the sake of arguing?

          I am not arguing - I am asking you to prove your claims.

          If what you say is true, there will be verification available. So rather than waffling, post links to facts. Simple, surely?

        • boozler on 08/09/2016 - 20:35

          You seem to care way to much on this topic of no battery bank entry into Aus ….now, why is that any other person would post one maybe two comments and be done with it.

    I ordered a 10000mah power bank with them then waited for two months for nothing. Contacted them to receive a reply, "can you wait for one or two more weeks". I pushed it and demanded refund. Then they shamelessly asked me to send the power bank back if it comes, it never comes though. It is such a poor service website. I will never recommend anyone to use it unless you want to lend them money with no interest and get it back in two months.

    Guys - also remember normal Blitzwolf 10% discount cade 12blitzw

    You cannot stack the discounts and it won't work on Promo items. So needs some careful Checkout item ticking and combining and excluding to maximise the Value from this deal, and with other Blitzwolf things.

    EDIT TO ADD: Obviously try the "11% off sitewide" code 10annv11 first. Obviously that is better than what I just posted. However the 12blitzw code is valid until end of December, so try to remember it for once this deal ends.

      Not surprising. The 7 most commonly used Postal/Courier services used in China/HK are rejecting power banks with PostNL being the most recent. The airports in China are starting to ban power banks on carry on too. Beijing doesn't allow it and Shenzhen have started doing it.

      • Thatbargainhunter on 08/09/2016 - 22:48

        Not true. I took a powerbank through Beijing a fortnight ago. They just limit the capacity. However, 10,000mah was fine. However, you are required to show it to them.

    So, If all carriers stop carrying these powerbanks how will we get them in the future? Surely the Xiaomi and other banks can be cleared for air travel similar to DJI Phantom batteries and the like? I recall seeing some type of safe to travel document/certification for batteries that meet a standard.

      Local stores like Mushtato. Sending power banks in bulk (e.g. 100 units) to Australia is still possible.
