Anybody ever buy batteries from this place?

Yo, russ! Yeah, I mentioned this place on AU. I've got some on the way. All I can say is that the ones I got on ebay don't have the dotted print on them like the authentic, just a white label with black, bold print. Makes me wonder and I messaged imr about it. Waiting for reply. I haven't used any of them yet until I get my Dimitri for a parallel 18650 marriage.
I believe @CaFF has ordered from them through Expo International (expointl.com). I checked that site out, too, and I noticed that when I went direct to imr the prices were better! lol
I got the first ones from the VaporJoe's Steals and Deals (on ebay). I'm waiting for the ones from imr as we speak. That's what I'm saying, the ones from ebay look different and are making me wonder. Just because Vapor Joe recommended them he can't control what the vendors do afterwards. But if I find out they're fakes I'll let Joe know.

Ahh I see now, duh, I was reading it wrong. I was going to get batteries from that site just because the prices are better than I have seen lately on other sites and a lot better than from my local B&M.
Here's the answer to my message and question to imr:
"As for the 25R, just peel off the label and the OEM print will be below it. Some suppliers do this, others don't. We have a few batteries (LG, Sony, Panasonic) that come like this and we take them off for photos. But as far as I know there aren't any fake 25Rs available- it's just too widely available and inexpensive to make counterfeiting profitable. Hope this helps.

I replied to you but ended up replying to myself. Now there's a duh! I copied it below:Here's the answer to my message and question to imr:

Zam, told me about them, been ordering from them since Nov. Prices are great, fast shipping, great vendor. Have bought 25R's, and Sony's when they were in stock, the real thing too.
Last time I looked they had some good pricing on chargers, too.
Hi Zam! I got the MNKE 26650s for $7.50 a pc. They have small batt cases but I need something larger. KNow where I should look? Thank you
I got a bunch of these with my last order from FT: http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10001111/1203601-dual-slot-26650-battery-case
