Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Security through emergency power
An APC Back-UPS has a built-in battery that ensures that all connected equipment, such as a PC and NAS, but also your WIFI internet (router + modem) continues to function if the power goes out. In addition, this APC emergency power supply can also automatically shut down a NAS or PC in time via the USB connection. Useful when the APC ups is almost empty. This prevents downtime, damage to equipment, and loss of data.

Safety and convenience
In addition, this safe APC Back-UPS protects valuable equipment against peaks and overvoltage caused by lightning strikes, for example. Because the APC Back-UPS BE850G2-UK is equipped with two USB chargers 2.4A (type A+C), you can also safely charge your mobile devices. The UPS can also be mounted on the wall, making this APC emergency power supply also suitable for the meter cupboard.

Insurance
Despite the high risk of lightning strikes and surges, APC has full confidence in its products and offers this APC Back-UPS:
- Equipment protection policy of 100,000 euros (https://www.apc.com/uk/en/support/equipment-protection-policy/)

The internal battery cartridge (RBC17) can be replaced easily, safely and independently by the user. This without having to switch off the APC BE850G2-UK or connected equipment. This way you can easily and cheaply extend the lifespan of the APC Back-UPS and the connected equipment remains online.

Warranty extension
The factory warranty of the BE850G2-UK is 3 years and can be upgraded to 6 years with the APC service pack (WBEXTWAR3YR-SP-01A).
