Corporate support contracts actually call for that sometimes. Defective machines aren't fixed, they are sent back in groups and replaced by working ones. The defective boxes are then shipped off someplace, refurbed, and put back into the manufacturer's pool for support contracts. I wouldn't be surprised if some companies ship them off to India for that. Small hardware like laptops, anyway.

No they send the equipment to the UK and the big boys there send it to India. They charge say $100 to refurbish it when it really costs including shipping about $50.
Thus the hew and cry about the outsourcing that has been going on since 2004. India or Pakistan doesn't care as they have a lot of people there on the breadlines. Work is cheap and so is exploitation.
Makes you want to quit your job and set up a company in..... :censored:
