The postive reviews outnumber the bad by a good margin.Did no one read the reviews? I was going to point them out the other week but thought you would have all checked. I hope you can all get sorted out with refunds if needed
If you based purchases solely on a product having no bad reviews, you would be buying nothing ever.

As a percentage of items purchased online, how often do you leave a good review for something compared to how often you leave a poor review?Did no one read the reviews? I was going to point them out the other week but thought you would have all checked. I hope you can all get sorted out with refunds if needed
Human nature and all that. I look at the number of sales, if available, relative to the number of reviews which makes it easy to check how many happy buyers there are relative to those who leave reviews.

Good reviews can be bought the same as all these powerbanks and other stuff given away to youtubers to big them up. Its not often you get people randomly all saying a similar negative about a product along with pictures. There must be some truth in them. I just hope everyone gets a satisfactory outcome from it all.

yup. I'm sticking to a refund. The original is just a paperweight pretty much.

As expected, they do not want these units back when they fail due to cost of shipping and reprocessing costs and just doing a refund.
Pretty typical and not limited to less-known products and companies. Victron for example don't want any failed goods back and typically leave them with the distributor to destroy.
The AC outlet was a key to getting this. Without that it really was a "BIAFB" and I have plenty of little batteries already.

I suppose I could actually use this as a low power DC power source to be fair, but I already have a Bench PSU and a Solder Station with a DC Power Output so pretty redundant for that purpose as well.

I had an email from Amazon this morning to tell me they are refunding the money, it was worth a try at that price and it could have been useful so thanks to the OP for the link

I've got my refund as well. I will rescind my comment also about not using this seller again. Once they got 'warmed up', they have been communicative and helpful, so I was premature saying that.
Not got a pre-paid label as of yet. They wanted the serial number of the unit, but nothing else, at least so far.

It's the only place I actually enjoy going shopping Wully.
Haven't been for a while but when we go once we get through the doors I turn one way and Julie the other, we then meet later at the checkout.

I was at Costco yesterday doing the regular top-up of diesel, this time for my car.
Called in store for a mooch - as you do - and stocked up on one or two things we needed and got some useful Chrissy presents I know will be appreciated.
They do have some decent "non-edible" things, but they aren't always the cheapest.
TBH I mostly go for certain foodstuffs and loo/kitchen paper).
Still way too much useless, overpriced tat abounding (same as everywhere else, really).
I did actually treat myself to their cheapest new iPad.
The one I use was the m-i-l's and is as ancient as the Pharoahs and almost as mummified!
No sign of a cost of living crisis judging by the number of people and the dangerously bulging trolleys. And tons of booze being wheeled out @Robmac

If they had made things difficult then I might have thought about it but they have acted honourably so I have to do the right thing

I’m now a shareholder Neil I should be I’ve spent that much over the years. I’m one for customer service if I’m treated fair and get decent stuff at decent price’s then I’m in. They are building a second store in Glasgow a bit closer to me so say hello when you see me bringing in the trollies.
