APC surge protector warranties

When my computer’s battery crapped out in Denmark, it was really easy to get a replacement. “They have me in their computer,” I figured. But, when four of the eight outlets on my APC surge protector decided to stop working, I figured I’d have to buy a new one but I tried my luck and contacted them anyway.

A few e-mail exchanges later and I was trading in serial numbers for a new surge protector! I didn’t even have to give my credit card number. There was a stipulation that said there’d be a return mailer so that I could ship the busted one back to APC but when Purolator came to my house, they didn’t have one. So now, I basically have one and a half surge protectors. APC, if you read this, you can have the broken one back if you want it.

All in all though, a happy and easy experience. Exceptional, in fact.

Wish I could say the same about cell phone service in Canada. 5 months in Denmark and I spent about $60 on pay-as-you-go service (including the cost of a SIM card). Not even a month into my return to Canada and I’ve already spent about that. Also, locked phones in Belgium are actually illegal. Amazing, right?
