The goods were dispatched from china and not from the uk. Instead of 6-12 days it took over 2 months. The battery arrived damaged and did not work in the laptop. I should send the battery back to china to get the money back. Since shipping is more expensive than the battery, i didn't do that and wanted to get my money back through paypal buyer protection. Unfortunately, PayPal has rejected the application. I am more than disappointed, would not recommend anyone to buy there!
