no documentation / badly packed

For DIY Audio Spectrum LED Display Kit (12478)

I hope you find some control over your products again so customers don't run away from you. I bought from you for the last time.

Good product

For DIY Hybrid Power Amplifier Board LM1875T(12008)

A tube broke during shipping because it was in a bag with all the other individual parts, so the seller could be more careful. I asked for a replacement. I got a message right away, but I haven't received anything until today, not even an answer to my last message.

Where do I find an iPhone app for this clock?

For DC 5V Wi-Fi Electronic Alarm Clock_GY19620

There is almost no information on how to set up this clock. Syncing to wifi is difficult and after several tries I gave up. They mentioned a manual setup method but I couldn't find it.

Brightness level does not dim enough for use in dark bedroom.

I bought two so you do not have to!

For DIY Kit RDA5807 87MHz-108MHz FM Radio Receiver

Bought two of these kits - just as well as one of the RDA5807s was defective.

The one that did work sounded truly awful - I had to pack the speaker from the PCB with washers to cure that. The supplier should supply a gasket. This improved matters, but distortion can be an issue.

The two stands and the cut out for the aerial needed modifying with a needle file to ensure successful assembly.

**Safety issue** the supplier recommends an 18650 lithium cell, but there is no charging circuit for it! The builder of this kit would plug this thing straight into a USB power supply using the supplied power lead.....!

Not really recommended - especially any beginners interested in this kit.

Dos nok work

For Temperature Control Sound Light Alarm DIY(5425)

This appliance does not work. I have checked the solders and that the components are correctly positioned. The 9015 transistor gets very hot. A disappointment.
I bought other DIY kits from ICStation that did not work. Also finished soldered appliances do not work

Month later, not shipped yet.

For DIY 3D Xmas Tree 7 Color Flash LED Kits(7213)

I bet this would be cool. Ordered it in November for a chance to have it by Christmas. Well, it'll have to wait until next year I guess...

No idea where is the package.Very frustrated.

For 4 Channel Optocoupler Isolation Switch(8899)

I was provided first with a wrong tracking number.
Then I got what seems to be a valid tracking number , but the last update is from 8 December when the package was still in China.
Still waiting for an update to clarify the status of the shipment.

no quality control, no support.

For CP2102 Multifunction Serial Module(5256)

I was really looking forward to this as my "go to" serial adapter.

Sadly there appears to be no quality control; when I received it, the primary switch on it seemed to be melted in place. I tried using increasing pressure to move the switch, until the tab broke off. The switch's interior body (plastic) was just melted & frozen in an unusable state.

I offered to solder a new switch on if they'd send me a new one. The response was less than enthusiastic... 8 days later (granted, new years was in the middle) and 2 emails to them, the resolution offered was "$0.50 to be refunded & buy switch locally" and told me they didn't sell the switch so they couldn't send it to me -- if I could buy the switch locally I wouldn't have even asked -- moreover, there's no part # so I can't order and exact replacement online. (The closest I found, with shipping, is more than the original product.)

Update: they offered to send me a new board (or switch, it was unclear) & I offered to help with shipping. They asked me to purchase something else to help with shipping, which I did. (one of two items was received w/o all the parts). Moreover, the package lacked the replacement switch & they called me a liar when I let them know it wasn't in the packaging. After another week of emails, and them not believing me that there was no switch sent; I called it quits on spending time dealing with it & them.

Hopefully some quality control will have been put in place to do a functional check prior to shipping.

It's a shame that no parts are available, then again, it's a cheap Shenzhen board ...
