Hello!
As I decided to build myself an electric bike I started looking online, for places where I can order what I need.
I chose a Bafang 48V/500W (18A controller) together with a Samsung frame battery pack 46.8V/11Ah containing 13S 4P 29E cells. After I have seen some good reviews I have decided to give em3ev.com a try. The seller is known as Paul, and he has a good reputation.
Now, I am not very familiarised with that kind of orders, so I am quite confused about some points.
1. Where should I expect to receive the package, at my home or to the local post office?
2. I have heard about courier shipping options, for example, my shipping option of choice will be Battery DHL, which if I am not wrong is a courier shippment. Does it mean that a courier will bring it to my home? In that case what happens if I am not home? I work Monday to Friday till 4PM so I am not home all the time.
3. From your experience, how much do you think it could take untill I will receive the package? For the next 30 days I am living in Norway and I would like to get the items as soon as possible, and getting them while I am here would be perfect, as I could build my ebike as soon as I will return to my home coutry. Do you think it is possible?
4. What is your experience with customs taxes? Do I have to expect to pay some?
I would aprreciate a lot if you can shed some light.
Thank you!
Gabriel
