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

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……

a year from now lets see if all is still genuine
i hope to be pleasantly surprised

which is why i won’t buy any
how about panasonic or sanyo?

I think everyone is overblowing the stuation. FastTech is a big vendor and gets supplied a lot of stock from various merchandisers. In one of the last batches they got some ultrafire wrappers, which are a common product on battery and light sites all over the web. We told them not to carry them, they said “really”…thanks for telling us…oK”…all-gone.

Case over. It’s now a non issue. It’s not like they were behind 911. I personally trust this site to not knowingly sell bogus goods.

I never saw the big deal anyway since "fake Ultrafire battery" or "crap Ultrafire battery" were redundant. I would have felt much differently if the batteries sold directly by Ultrafire performed well, but even those are rubbish. If anything, this wrappers could have been used to wrap over your own batteries that were determined to be fake. It wouldn't literally say that battery is fake, but it's practically the same thing.

we should let FT know that this is a counterfeit of Vinox

maybe they dont know.

it's not good to sell counterfeit Vinox.

i think.

If it is not labeled as such I say it should stay.

It looks like what it is, a Multifunctional Folding Knife.
