Lithium batteries are a pain in the backside to ship in this day and age… with all the explosions that have been happening lately. Many postal services will NOT accept them and those companies who do, surcharge and require hazard labeling… Couldnt you just pay for a pallet to be drop shipped with the requisite charges being mitigated by the quantity being shipped? or ship units sans battery and point to a plug in compatible battery already avalible? Or ship the batteries separate by surface/boat to Amazon distribution. Know its far from ideal but… just trying some ideas for you…
I actually regret missing this sale… But was still a bit unsure on the GL AR300M at the time… Think they would make nice LibraryBoxes and/or Pirateboxes (local area file sharing and collaboration) …
or even possibly a Openwrt internet radio streaming audio out to speakers (similar to airplay)
We now ship mifi with batteries with DHL express and pays extra for shipping batteries. Separating shipping will make more trouble to both the user and us.
