FastTech REMOVES "UltraFire" wrappers for 14500 cells Fom Site.

hmm, not sure, the fact that they had them for sale in the first place does not show much care for conscious business (which is just not a strongpoint of chinese companies in general)....

Anyway, good job you memo'd them Ouchyfoot!

Congratulations to FastTech for doing the right thing. They’re back at the top of my list.

Very nice, Fasttech!

For restricting my freedom of making my one ultrafires….

As a previous victim of buying worn out 18650 laptop batteries re-wrapped in ultrafire sleeves, its good to hear fasttech did the right thing.

THANK YOU FASTTECH!

The few times I’ve done business with FastTech, I’ve been pleased. That said, doing the right thing after the fact still means you didn’t do the right thing. And don’t anyone say that maybe they didn’t realize what they were selling - they knew exactly what they were selling. Cutter, Mouser, Digikey, Illumination supply, etc. would not have had those sleeves on their website to begin with.

PPtk

they are learning.

we can expect to see no more cr*p on their website.

no fakes nor similar undesirable stuffz.

am giving them some credit.

Honestly, the wrappers are useful in their own right. I can see them being good for diy flashaholics………

I mean, if they were Keeppower or Sanyo etc I would not be comfortable, but Ultrafire?

I thought HKJ’s tests showed genuine UF to suck……

This speaks well of FasTech and the point of not being the one that sells counterfeits is important. There is still a problem product on their site. I am letting them know about it to see what they will do. It is not a flashlight or battery.

They are a Chinese company. Different ethics, different beliefs, different business practices. They have no obligation to follow our practices. There’s a whole world out there, everyone’s different. What is wrong for some, is right for others. The fact that they did take them down at least shows that they do respond to customers. “Neither the twain shall meet” comes to mind when dealing with China. If their ethics do not fit ours, then simply don’t use them.

I’ll give kudos where due. Jasmine has been very professional and responsive.

And hope any customers sold something less than advertised will visit karma on the FT customers who may have bought for that purpose.

You just encouraged them to hide their practices better.

Makes me wonder about these.

The tops look just like the NICE ones.

I got a shipment notification email an hour and a half after this post.

I think they just wanted to sell wrappers and these were readily available. The concept of branded wrappers is shady, but who wants to repackage a good cell for a crappy one? :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m not gonna be so hard on them until they actually do something harmful to a customer. So far they seem to be a cut above the rest.

Define ‘their practices’

right now fast tech is my #1 go to budget dealer

this move by them only makes me more confident in them.

bravo

if they are selling fakes or do in the future, the fake wrappers are additional evidence of this, but with the wrappers gone, the additional evidence goes with it

Well until someone does get a fake, that is unfair I think to expect it.

No one has reported fakes yet, and their CS is exceptional, particularly for a Chinese company. I have experienced far worse CS with US companies……
