The most buggy website I have ever used. Full of bugs in the ordering part, allocated money on my account multiple times, no order actually went through. Ran into two visual errors when buying.... See more

Used to be a fan of SeeedStudio historically, but new year ordering from SeedStudio really disappointed me. Not only has it cancelled the free shipping for big orders, but didn't provide options like... See more

Unbelievably dishonest company and support. Purchased a MR60BHA2 which was advertised as being used by someone on a couch and someone at a desk. The sensor is horribly inaccurate, saying I'm breathing... See more

Delivery was ok and fast but ... product did not perform as expected, so I asked for a refund. Not possible, simply because the item had already been used, as stated by Customer Service. In the ear... See more

I ordered a PCB

I ordered a PCB. It was shipped after a week. Eight weeks later, still haven't received anything. Do I get a message that there are extra costs because I am in the EU. Okay, I want to pay that. No further response to my email.
An addition to the above: Product not received. After an e-mail to the general e-mail address I received a voucher. Product ordered again and now it looks like it will be delivered.

Had an issue that needed a ticket…

Had an issue that needed a ticket submitted through Discord and had no idea what to expect but someone reached out almost immediately and walked me through what to do. It was a very clear, concise process. Thanks Mario, as I assume that is definitely your real name.

After learning of an issue with my SenseCAP M1 Hotspot, I sent in a ticket on Discord and received quick, excellent service from the team. Thank you for resolving my issue! You guys are the best! Stephen

Tech support AMAZING, other support.. not so much

Well, didn't expect much when miner went down due to past experience. Tech support was great on helping me out and the instructions were really clear for someone who had no idea what they were doing.
Would have been 5* if not for the bad prior experience, as they never did refund me my location assert that was supposed to be covered by the sensecap as it was the 1st location assertation on that device ever. (Fresh out of the box miner bought straight from Seeed- 1st assert is covered- Told I should've stopped before I paid- only noticed I paid that coverage a day AFTER it went threw and had contacted them right away with proof that I paid that coverage instead.) So that was a dbl location assert fee I ended up paying. Paid the amount in the buy of the miner and then sensecap didn't cover what it said it does even in their faqs, and paid a 2nd $10.55usd assert fee. (first set up ever of location for miner)

no delivery, no refund

There was no indication on the web order form that my device would be rejected in U.S. customs. I never got the device and never got a refund.

I should have read the reviews of this company first. There were harsh warnings about their business practices. Ouch.

Save yourself the heartache.

I strongly suspect their positive reviews were self generated.
