Battery Junction Fire

I'm sorry the fire happened but I'm glad to hear that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Over many orders spanning the years BJ has actually become my only battery supplier. When I received notification of the fire the thought never occurred to me to cancel my pending order. Best wishes MattK. There will be a lot of us still here when you get back up.
 
Wowzas! Glad everyone is fine! Has your insurance company been working with you alright? Can't wait to see how they try to wiggle out of this one.... Just stay on your toes!
 
Just found out about the fire, and I'm glad everyone is okay. I've got some tax refund money to spend, so reopen soon!
 
WOW! Just found out about the fire by placing an order online (still not back up and running yet) for a Titanium Innovations IlluminaTi CA1. No big hurry here, I will just wait until you're back up in service again MattK. I've had good service from Battery Junction in the past and glad everyone is OK.
 
Hope everything is OK, I just tried to buy a Thrunite Catapult, looks like I'll have to wait. I already had one on order from Battery Junction but all records were destroyed so I guess insurance will cover it for me.:devil:
 
Perhaps they're all on the Riviera now.........................😀


We may never hear of or see them again. Can't blame them I guess.......nobody likes smoking any more..................

I kinda miss that website though...........a month without treats is pretty hard on the psyche but the bank account has faired better.............(so far)..................................................................:sigh:
 
Thanks for the kind words folks!

blub - No information or data of any kind was lost, destroyed or in any way affected by the fire. I'm not sure what you mean about 'destroyed records' but please PM or email me with your email address and order number so I can see that this is addressed ASAP.

I'm guessing he was kidding, hence the little devil at the end. lovecpf
 
Although I found another source a for 'new old stock' NiteCore D10 with the ramping UI shortly after the fire, I decided to wait until Battery Junction re-opens.

My guess is that much of their stock is destroyed or damaged, so the odds of my getting the D10 fro BJ is actually probably pretty poor; they had a limited number of the 'tribute' units, and I believe all of them were 'sold', just before the fire. :ohgeez:

Some people will get one, some people won't. :mecry:

Just kidding😱 You mean it might have worked? Darn it!😀 Hope you're doing OK!
 
I really don't have the money 😀 but I'm eagerly awaiting to place an order with BJ as soon as its up and running again. In my experience BatteryJunction gets an A+ for customer service, which is why I'll be coming back.
 
I agree..

I had a order in and it was supposed to ship the day of the fire. They asked If I wanted to cancel? Nothing that can't wait, told them to ship it when available.
 
I live in SE CT just a short drive from Battery Junction. I've been there a few times to take a look at a few different items in order to decide which to purchase. The customer service in person is just as great as it is via email. If you are able, definitely stop in there when they are back up and running if you want to get something.

There is no storefront but don't let that stop you. I usually bring a few printouts from their website of the lights or Maxpedition Gear I am interested in and they will bring them out to me to check out before I buy. Bring a debit or CC, it seems the easiest form of payment when buying in person but I can't speak officially on that point.

I really cannot say enough nice things about the folks over there. Every time I've been in there Matt is talking and typing away at his desk at a mad pace. They work hard over there just during normal operations so I'm sure they are breaking their backs getting back up and running again.

To Matt and all those at Battery Juntion:
I wish you a speedy recovery.

Paul,

This is actually quite interesting. I also live in CT and have always favored Battery Junction as I consider them a local business. All of my transactions have been online as I assumed they had no retail facility at their mailing address. If, in fact Matt & Company have no objection to selling OTC I will certainly make a point of stopping in once they are back on their feet...storefront or not.

Yeah, I didn't realize they were so local to me either until a friend at work (the same one who got me hooked on flashlights) told me about them and how you could just walk right in. He's a member of CPF too.

It's really convenient when you are on the fence about which light to buy because you can check them out.

I am on the shoreline in eastern CT--New London County.
 
I will be patient and not add to the flood of orders and place my order when they get a breather.
Glad they're back up.
Billy
 
I have a feeling that when I reorder my Lumapower 500 Lumen Signature that it will be quite some time before I manage to actually get it in my hands. 🙁
