I ordered from them twice. First time, I waited so long for the
batteries, I issued a chargeback through my bank, but got the batteries
that same day, so cancelled the chargeback. This time, order went in 7
months ago, got squat and no answer to emails.
I saw Sony SR44W at Target, $4.98 each. You can get 357/303 from
www.zantechinc.com, a watch repair supply site. I buy 200 at a time,
$0.65 each.
