Batteries fine, but no returns and bad service!

Batteries themselves and shipment from Poland to Germany were good. But there basically is no option to return anything! They charge a 30% handling fee plus shipment cost from the very first day - illegal in the EU. And there is no simple way to apply for a return label. The email response I got was "I am on holidays, please wait til next week".

Unless you are very sure you never need a return avoid this Chinese seller!

Hi there,

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re really sorry to hear about your experience.

We’d like to clarify that we do support returns within 30 days as long as the product is brand new and unused. For returns that are not due to our responsibility (such as product defects or incorrect shipments), the return shipping cost is the responsibility of the customer, and a restocking fee will apply. These terms are outlined in our return policy, and we truly appreciate your understanding.

Regarding the delay in email response, we sincerely apologize. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating that must have been.

We would be more than happy to assist you with your return and refund. Could you please provide your order number or related details? Once we have that, we will personally follow up and help you through the process as smoothly as possible.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Best regards,
Kate

Your service seems ???

Your service seems OK. 1st order.. One big problem is that you seem to have very little in the way of Spare parts.. I buy an airplane and I need something, I can't get it. I can't fly and my investment in the model is worthless..
I have a friend who has been grounded for many months waiting on a part that was promised several months ago. You want to ruin a reputation, your on track. No parts, no straight answers and no more customers ...........

Hi Sir,

We’re very sorry for the delay regarding your order. About two weeks ago, you reached out to our customer service, and we promptly sent an email explaining the situation. Please understand that the delay was due to circumstances beyond our control, and it was never our intention to withhold your order.

After our explanation, we did not receive any further response from you, which is why we were unable to provide additional updates. We truly value your business and hope to resolve any concerns you may still have.

Best regards,
Kate

Bought three identical 6s batteries

Bought three identical 6s batteries. They sent me two 6S and one 5S. They refused to send me a replacement. Wanted me to pay for return. Utterly disgusting. Reversed my credit card payment. They lost a lifetime client.

PS: Kate, there are no shipping limitations in Australia. You have a warehouse in Australia, so it would be trivial to send shipping labels or return bags to clients. You simply don't want to do it. Australian law states that CNHL must pay for return postage; you cannot force customers to pay upfront and then reimburse. I also mentioned that I am willing to pay for the return postage myself, but I will leave a negative review—which would be fair. Your support team decided to be spiteful and try to teach me a "lesson" instead - delay my third 6S battery until I return the 5s battery.

Dear Customer,

We’re truly sorry for the frustration and inconvenience this situation has caused you. We completely understand how disappointing it must be to receive an incorrect item, and we sincerely apologize for the mistake in your order.

We would also like to clarify a few points to avoid any misunderstanding. Our AU warehouse is a relatively small warehouse, and unfortunately, it does not currently support issuing prepaid return labels. This is a limitation on our side in terms of logistics capability, not an attempt to avoid responsibility.

CNHL has been operating our website for over 10 years, and throughout this time, we have always made it our priority to take responsibility for every customer’s after-sales issue until it is properly resolved. For your case, although our capabilities are limited in certain regions, we have genuinely been trying our best to offer a workable solution and ensure you are taken care of.

We’re truly sorry if our process made you feel that we were avoiding responsibility — that is absolutely not our intention. We would never risk losing a valued customer or damaging our reputation over the cost of a single battery. That simply wouldn’t make sense for us.

Once again, we want to emphasize:
We acknowledge our limitations in this situation, but we are not avoiding responsibility, and we remain committed to resolving this issue for you.

We sincerely hope we can continue working with you toward a solution that you are satisfied with. Please feel free to reach out to us directly so we can assist you further.

Best regards,
CNHL Team
