That is what I call rock solid. Luckily you didn't pay premium for LIFETIME WARRANTY.

I know that in Australia that would be illegal under the Trade Practices Act 1974. Ie. the seller can't mislead you (uninterruptible). Isn't there something similar where you bought it?
July 9, 2008 5:44 AM
and you thought you did a good job haggling the seller right? hehe

The way it's wired, it actually looks like it would power on your stuff. There is a good chance you would not notice for months.

Well there's your problem!

Did you try smoking that brown stuff? Likely this is some smuggling scheme. You may have made out big time!
July 9, 2008 9:48 AM

July 9, 2008 10:19 AM
HAHAHAHAAAA. Smashing
July 9, 2008 10:40 AM
A few years back I tried to buy a brick online and they sent a UPS! Go figure!
July 9, 2008 10:42 AM

I would make a return delivery...throw their front window.

Did you buy it with a credit card? If so, just deny the charges. The credit card will ask for evidence that you were a victim of fraud, and they'll give you your money back. That's why I always buy things with my American Express card. They're very good about it.

Russian newspaper in Vancouver? Not surprising. Canada is a very multicultural place!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Vancouver
10% of Vancouverites (proper, not the greater vancouver area) are of eastern european origin. There are plenty of Russian delis and local foreign-language newspapers.

I guess they probably don't sell Russian juice in Canada...

Don't you people know yet not to believe anything on the internet and that people have a propensity to lie for attention. Is it more likely he guy was really ripped off, considering all the risks and near inevitability of payback, or that he just stuck a brick in an old UPS to suck in idiots?
July 10, 2008 12:19 AM
The name on the pack should have alerted,
FOXCONN, con like a fox
July 15, 2008 8:22 PM
There must be some sort of consumer protection legislation that will imply a term into the contract of sale stating that goods must be fit for the purpose which they were bought.
Obviously this is a breach of such an implied term. If I were you I would get an expensive lawyer, seek punitive damages and have them not only replace the UPS but also pay costs of your expensive lawyer.

It meets emission standards.
I'm all for it!

obviously a fake story.. Why would someone sell an obsolete UPS w/ a brick, when they could have just left the worthless dead batteries in it? Also what kind of idiot would but a UPS w/ the serial port missing?

Actually, I highly doubt that this is a Foxconn made UPS. Considering the brand appears to be "APC" and there are various computer parts that Foxconn has traditionally made in the backround. The Foxconn box is probably just the box for the mobo / other computer parts in the back round

To 'Welcome to USA' thread: The original article was posted in russian on livejournal.com - http://qlman.livejournal.com/323234.html - could be tracked back by the link that is supplied post.
To 'Obviously fake story' Sherlock: the 'worthless dead batteries' were in fact properly working new batteries that got stolen and replaced with a brick for a weight. Obviously, 'the idiots' who sold 'obsolete UPS with brick' were much brighter then you.

Yeah, welcome to USA... where even the simplist thing that should be enshrined in law has to be settled by litigation. In most of Europe this would be a criminal offense - no law suit needed. In the UK it contravenes the Sale of Goods Act, 1979.
