Frequently asked questions about our FUSES |

TO HEAR THE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS CLICK THE SPEAKER 
Are any of your fuses new?
Yes. They are identified as NEW or NEW OLD STOCK (that is NOS) in the description page. Otherwise they are identified as USED. NEW and NOS fuses do not necessarily mean that they come directly from the factory or authorized dealer. NEW fuses have not been installed and used and have not been around for such a time that we would list them as NOS.
What is "NOS"?
NOS means New Old Stock. These have not been used but may have been around for period of time. This, of course, is an arbitary judgment. For example, a fuse may be described as NOS for it has been sitting on the shelf for say about fifteen years or more. We try to be conservative in giving a description that suits the fuse's history. We gather as much information from sellers and visually inspect for appropriate listing. NOS fuses provide the calibrated performance for what the fuse was manufactured, the same as a NEW fuse of equivalent ratings and part number.
How do you know if a USED fuse is good?
Every USED fuse goes through our quality control testing using a continuity meter with noise indication and sometimes an ohmmeter. Even some of our NEW stock and NOS fuses with open boxes have been tested. You can be assured that all of our fuses will sustain an electrical energized load as the manufacturers' indicate. We want you to be 100 percent satisfied with your purchase. We are so confident of your satisfaction that we offer a returns policy for our fuses. SEE: Shipping and Returns before purchasing.
Are you an Authorized Dealer or Distributor of the fuses?
No. However, Alan's Sales is competitively a discount business giving you competitively very low prices on excellent products and we offer great service.
Where are your fuses acquired?
They are acquired from liquidation sales, inventory reductions, business shut-downs, business downsizing, contractor surplus sales, and estate sales. These are just some of the places the fuses are acquired from.
Do all the fuses come in manufacturers packaging?
Some do, but not all. For example, if a fuse is listed as USED it will most likely not have manufacturers packaging. Even some NEW and NOS will not have this packaging.
Why do some NEW and NOS fuses not have manufacturers packaging?
Some of the smaller fuses come in packaging of 5 to 10 each, but because we sell the fuses individually (unless otherwise indicated), they may not come with a box. Some fuses have been in hardware stores, businesses, or industrial shops, stored without the packaging. This may account for some blemishes and label scratches we call "storage worn" or "shop worn." These exterior markings in no way affect the functionality and performance of the fuse. Some of the boxes protected the fuses just fine, but are in such bad shape they are discarded.
Are the photos of the fuse on the description page exactly what we will receive?
Not necessarily. Sometimes the photo of a fuse has a different ampere rating than what the description page calls for. Even the appearance may be slightly different, such as label print and coloring. You will pay for and receive what is "written" on the description page.
If you oftentimes purchase fuses simply to replenish stock, remember to bookmark us on your browser and check back often for newly acquired stock. |
