ru.nkon and eu.nkon quote confusion

Folks I was wondering if could get some advice. I am looking to get a large qty japanese 1900 mah eneloops, you know the 2100 cycles, 70% at 10 years spec etc.

I asked for a quote from Nkon on them here.
https://eu.nkon.nl/4-aa-eneloop-in-blister-1900mah.html

They suggested I get these instead saying they are the same but cheaper( however the blurb estimates 5 years, not 10 years)
https://ru.nkon.nl/rechargeable/aa-size/4-aa-eneloop-batterijen-bk-3mcce-in-case.html

I said no thanks, I'll have a quote on the ones originally linked.

So they send me a quote for the below. The same item as the first link I wanted, but with an .ru address instead of .eu
https://ru.nkon.nl/4-aa-eneloop-in-blister-1900mah.html

Its possible they are just trying to work out a cheaper deal for me, but wondered about the significance of the .eu vs .ru...??

It is a VAT question:

Ok so they worked out a better deal for me, cool!

Yep, ru.nkon is good for non-EU countries!
The ones you linked to are batteries with blister pack vs non-blister pack in plastic case. The latter are from bulk, so cheaper!

Initially, I was thinking batteries on nkon.nl are a bit overpriced, at least by 50%. But when I went to Holland and checked their local store prices, nkon.nl is absolutely cheapest source for batteries in whole Holland

I don't mind the price, I just needed a store to export japanese eneloops to me which our distributors do not carry.

NKON is top notch as usual

I have been told the chinese eneloops are 60% power after 5 years, japanese are 70% after 10 years and 2100 cycles, and some reviews turn up poorer performance with the chinese batts. I am no expert in it, just going off advice from experienced members here on other threads. I am not familiar with the amazonbasics, I see one link showing only 500 cycles life though..
