I ordered these batteries yesterday afternoon and they arrived today - the next day, excellent! Via Royal Mail. Packaged well with advice note enclosed. Use by date of 2013, very good. Excellent value for money when compared to prices in local shops / stores, approx. £2.50 each!
My only grumble is that I found an ever so slight difference in the thickness of the batteries, this caused some of them not to make contact in my Sony radio alarm clock (Weak battery indicator light on). This is why I gave 4 stars and not 5 stars. However, when I placed a "thicker" one in, it did make contact, then strangely, when I the put a "thinner" one back in - it made contact this time, maybe the problem was related to the Sony alarm clock radio battery compartment? Seems fine now. I even put back in the original Sony battery that was in the radio alarm clock on purchase, and again this now works.
I could have purchased cheaper on Amazon but was swayed by the Manufacturer's Description:

Plus they were recommended in the radio alarm clock manual. Would I recommend them? YES, excellent price, Sony! all working ok, excellent delivery time.
