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
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.
