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.
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 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?
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.
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
