RE: WHERE ARE MY BATTERIES, BOOMBOOMBATTERIES?????!!!
I've bought batteries from Boom Boom Batteries in the past, and will continue to support him in the future. There are a few reasons for this:
(1) his prices are fair for both the batteries, assembly costs, and shipping.
(2) he is an independent small business that he started just a few years ago.
(3) I respect his sticking his neck out and risking his own money to try and earn a living in a very competitive market while trying to provide the best possible product for the price
(4) he assembles the battery packs to customer specifications regarding cell configuration and plug end
Since he's a small business, I'm guessing the pre-Christmas rush drained his stock on batteries and had to wait until January for his next shipment to arrive.
If you were dealing with a large outfit and their shipment of batteries was on back-order(such as Tower or Horizon), you would receive a notification on when the product will become available and an estimated delivery date. No FREE upgrade would be offered.
