False Advertising or lack of Corporate Ethics

"They advertised a GREAT sounding sale, I ordered 2 items listed in the sale and was shown as I made my selections that each item was in stock and available. I made full payment via PayPal upon completing my order. I received a email confirmation of my order and stating that I would receive additional info as my items were shipped. I did receive one item.

Nine days after placing the order I received an email stating that 1 item I had ordered had been 'Discontinued'. This item was a packaged group of three items also sold separately. Looking on-line after reading their email showed that each of the three items was still available separately. As I said "False Advertising or lack of Corporate Ethics".

They did offer me $10 off my next order of $60 or more!

“We are sorry that didn't inform you the order status and update the online available quantity in time. Regarding the discontinued item, sorry that we don't have the stock to ship for you and we have suggested that you can choose another item which price is about 30$ then we arrange the shipment for you. Until now, we didn't get any reply from you. We know that we have a lot of room for improvement in such a big deal "just pay shipping" and thank you for your feedback. We valued each our customer and will do better in future.”

Lost Package

"USPS said they delivered it (by the mailbox). But is was not found the next day. It was a cheap item, so no big loss. I just need to use a better service if I order something expensive. (Most orders are received okay. But this is second order lost in three years). (Not your fault.)"

Terrible Experience - Their customer support is useless

"I ordered one of their 6-axis robot arms from Massdrop and I contacted them to order the CPU, I/O board and remote controller.

First they lost my order, then then didn't answer my emails and when I finally received my package (1 month later) it was missing a key component that I had asked to be included multiple times.

Their idea of an assembly manual is a youtube video. Which will need to be stopped and started multiple times.

They are located in Hong Kong so they are awake when the US is asleep. Their customer service is deplorable and boarding on a waste of time.

Do not buy this company's products.

“We are sorry for the misunderstanding. The reason why we didn't ship the board for you is that you have mentioned " I would like to purchase the "board and controller bundle" but I don't see this listed on your website. I already have a MEGA2560 if the bundle might be available without it. If you can, would you add the rotating platform to the bundle, please." So, we just shipped the controller bundle and rotating platform for you. However, we have arranged to ship the board for you already after getting your last message.

Our Customer support team is in China. Although we can not reply to each message immediately we tried out best to respond within 24 hours. Of course, we should reply to every message from our customers. If you didn't get any reply from us after 24 hours, we suggest that you contact us again because your message may not reach to us. Thank you for your understanding.

Should have waited

"Most sellers reward preorders by giving a discount. Not sainsmart. They charged more for the preorder and immediately dropped the price the day of release. I'll never preorder from them again. "

Late delivery and broken part

"All good, all delivered. The printer was delivered late (3-5 days promised, 6 business days actual) and the SD card was broken. Tried formatting the card but nothing would recognize it (multiple computers). "
