Customer Review: Ordered TWO times.. both units USED
Summary: 2 Stars
This is not so much a review of the APC item but rather Amazon's sellers. I originally ordered this item in early April. It arrived late April. When I opened the box it was clearly NOT NEW. ALL NEW APC UPSes come with a large yellow label informing the user to connect the positive terminal as this needs to be disconnected in shipping. The plastic wrap is always securely around the power cord, this unit (and its replacement did not have either of these. Furthermore, there is always an inspection register tape showing date of manufacture and software version as well as several tests the unit should have passed. This tape is supposed to be neatly taped to the bottom of the unit.
In both shipments (remember one was a replace for the first one about which I complained) the items were scratched. The plastic was not properly wrapped and there was NO YELLOW label warning about connecting the positive power terminal. Finally both register tapes showing date of manufacture were over three years old. The first one read 2006 the second was 2008.
To Amazon's credit they replaced the first one very quickly and paid for return shipping. I have simply requested a full refund on the second one as it seems that I am not going to get a NEW unit. Twice is my limit for trying.
Basically look over the packaging very carefully and check all the items I mentioned in this review.
