This is an unpaid endorsement because it’s so rare for me to see this. I don’t do much UPS (battery backup, not shipping) business, but I bought replacement UPS battery from excessups.com a bit more than a year ago. Ran into an issue where I’d requested the wrong part, but their response and customer service was great at the time, so I kept the contact info. A week ago I contacted them saying I have a $600 budget for a UPS and I am attaching server XY and Z to it, what product of theirs would they recommend. They sent me a link to product somebody else carried telling me “this will get you the most for your budget”. That the link went to another site was weird, but I just assumed for whatever reason that excessups simply didn’t have it on their site yet but they did carry it, so I replied “I’ll take one”. As it turns out no, he’s sending me to this other place because he feels I’ll get the best bang for my buck there, to a company he said is unrelated to his. When I asked him about it he said that their current pricing I below his wholesale cost, so go there. Wow. Tony at excessups, you are the MAN. Dave
