Ydanz,

Thank you for initiating the second MO for this excellent battery. I'm very keen on getting it, but would prefer to order from a cheaper source.

I've read on the net that Erwin Computers is selling it for US$39.95, as compared to US$69.90. Their url is http://store.yahoo.com/erwincomputers/digdppow.html.
Would it be possible for you to order the battery pack from them instead? Also, I wrote to them on Sunday and they replied that they are willing to deliver overseas for mass orders (they did not state the quantity). Perhaps Ydanz or someone good at organizing (sorry but I'm not) wants to start an MO for this.

My email and their reply are reproduced below. Many thanks!

Hi there,

I'm from Singapore and am really interested in your Digipower DPS 9000. May I know whether you are able to ship/air mail it to Singapore? What would the additional charges be and how long would it take?

Another question: if I or other photographers decide to do a mass order (e.g. 10 - 30 pieces ) for the battery pack, how much would each unit be, and charges for shipping/mailing?


Thanks and cheers!

Dear Rubric,

I know about Erwin Computers and here's the problemo with them:

1. They do not accept overseas issued credit cards.
2. They do not consider 10 units as Mass Order.
3. They accept wire transfer of funds to their bank account but want to charge you an extra US$15 for it and that excludes the extra cost you have to pay at the bank.

I have nearly exhausted all means of procurement at a better price with delivery. I finally settled for Ritz Camera at US$69.90 and ships FOC to my US location when I am there for training.

Hope that helps.

To anyone who is any doubt about this addon batt. Let me just give you an idea of how good it is. I use a Minolta Diamge 7Hi.. Everybody knows what a bloodsucker it is in terms of battery life. Worse when you use a Microdrive. I'm using the DPS9k now, it can last me nearly 4x the life of my Sanyo 2100 mAH batts... and I'm using Microdrive.

Thanx ydanz for the help in getting this the last MO

[ydanz]

You're most welcome! Glad that you finally found the time to give it your tough test!

[Snapper]
