So I am looking to buy a UPS (800VA).

My current config (i54460,Asus h97me,Seasonic520W,GT 240,4gb ram). I think this requires only 600va ups but I may upgrade graphics card. That is why looking for 800va.

Many sites/sellers do not ship to kerala. After some searches I have shortlisted

APC BE700Y-IN at 4050 Ebay (after 10% discount)

APC BE800 at 4678 Ebay (after 10% discount)

Which one should I go for?

Can anyone suggest any other options?

APC is best when it comes to ups available here in India.btw apc has a smart 1KVA ups available for 8k which comes with a power monitoring software that can shutdown/hibernate your pc after a certain time period/battery level remaining.it is costly but for anyone who wants this feature of power off/hibernate just like laptop,it is quite handy.

edit:found this 420w/700va apc smart ups for around 4100.

CyberPower BU-1000-IN -4400.

Where can I get that? Shipping to Kerala is a problem. And local dealers are sh!t. They recommend/have V-guard and I-ball only.

Bought BE700Yind from Ebay. Seller didn't ship the item.

That Cyber Power 1kv will be 4300+ 400 shipping (4700) from Amazon. Is that a good deal?

Got CyberPower from amazon Vratshree Distributors.

Got through Post Parcel. Some dent in covers.

Plugged in. No LED indication. Switch was not working (on off). After some time, bad smell and smoke. Switched mains off. Unit is constantly beeping.

Called Vratshree. first number - guys whoanswered don't know english. They disconnected. second number - knows english. Sent me CyberPower cc number through message.

Talked to Amazon guy and explained the situation. He told me he will look into that. Not Amazon Fulfilled, so don't have much hope there.

Talked to Cyber Power cc. They told to send invoice pics, unit pics, address etc.

Sent them.

Now waiting.

Whoosh.:cry:

you bought a heavy item like ups costing 4k+ from a new seller.you may feel bad but honestly speaking if you had listened to my earlier suggestion of checking seller's reputation,feedback & experience you could have avoided this situation.just for future reference,don't treat online market any different from real life market.

Return the UPS calling amazon as it has 30day return policy and order it from snapdeal.com as it also has 15day return policy if anything goes wrong.
