They never dispatched the item
Nothing was ever received. Royal Mail 48 status still says waiting for item
Then the unkindest cut of all, asking me to review the “service”
They billed for the item.
Received the money.
That’s it!!

Reply from The Machine Shop
Thank you for the review. Unfortunately this item was lost in the post. The customer was refunded.
Unpaid postage label
Hi, I paid for a small item with 48 hour delivery.
I recovered a message a week later, saying the item hasn’t had postage paid.
Not happy, this was a Christmas gift that will now not be here in time.

Quick to dispatch and reliable (on my second order with The Machine Shop now).
Just getting into this hobby now - I would recommend a bit more detail regarding the contents of certain models as the manufacturers tend to have a range of variations and also as an amateur just dipping into LoRa devices - knowing what each item comes with or doesn’t would be really helpful.
That said, I did really appreciate the given recommendation for an upgrade to the existing aerial that by default comes with the Lilygo T- Deck Plus.
Keep up the good work. 👍

Nice bit of kit.
Mesh device came well packaged and looks really good. Setting it up is quite complicated and the instructions are not that helpful.

Competitive price & delivery cost, slightly late dispatch
All good, but I waited for the dispatch long enough to poke them. It arrived quickly afterwards.
Competitive price and delivery cost, that's definitely a positive.
