Scammer who provides no support

For CC2652 ZigBee coordinator or OpenThread router

As with many, it took quite a while for me to receive the stick. Due to lack of time and other priorities, the stick remained unused for a few months after which I used it for Domoticz with Zigbee2MQTT.
After a few months the stick stopped working and I checked the stick through the maker's website. The message appeared that there was a defect and that I should contact the developer.
I tried that several times, but there is no response from the developer. Fortunately, I live near Germany, because if there is no response and no support, I will report it as a scammer.
For the time being I would advise everyone not to do business with this seller!

Extreme Bad

For CC2652 ZigBee coordinator or OpenThread router

Gerät ist nach 4 Monaten ausgefallen. Verkäufer Antwortet nicht auf Emails. Hier erfolgt kein austausch des defekten Gerätes. Produkt wurde nach Bestellung erst 6 Wochen später geliefert. Es gab die übliche ausrede mit den nicht zugestellten Paketen.

Der Verkäufer und das Produkt sind extrem Schlecht. Bitte kaufen sie hier keinen Artikel.

Device failed after 4 months. Seller does not respond to emails. The defective device is not replaced here. Product was only delivered 6 weeks later after ordering. There was the usual excuse about undelivered packages

The seller and the product are extremely bad. Please do not buy an item here.

Didn't work when it arrived, seller disappeared from support

For CC2652 ZigBee coordinator or OpenThread router

Took ages to arrive, and it didn't work at all when I plugged it in. Couldn't get it recognised in Uniflash at all.

Tried asking the seller via telegram and got a view replies but nothing helpful - then he disappeared completely.

The other stick sold here on Tindie probably is more useful.

Never received this product, Seller never responded

For CC2652 ZigBee coordinator or OpenThread router

I waited for this product forever. The seller initially sent an email saying there were some issues with shipping, and I should contact him if I didn't receive it. Patiently waited forever, seller never replied. Eventually gave up. Did not find a way to raise the issue on tindie either.

For CC2652 ZigBee coordinator or OpenThread router

Never received, No comunication

For CC2652 ZigBee coordinator or OpenThread router

May the package was lost by DHL service, I think the seller should look for another postal provider. Seller did not reply to any of my emails. :(

Muhammad | Jan. 16, 2021

Package did not arrive.

For CC2652 ZigBee coordinator or OpenThread router

The package has not arrived and the tracking link doesn't seem to show any relevant information.

"The item was handed over to the International Logistics Center on 12.12.2020 to be forwarded to the country of destination. Unfortunately the tracking and tracing of the destination country does not offer a data interface with the tracking and tracing of Deutsche Post AG. Further information may be provided by the website of the country of destination.

The package didn't come and seller doesn't seem to care.

For CC2652 ZigBee coordinator or OpenThread router

Honestly it is not totally the seller's fault, the package was lost by postal service. However the Post only able to reimburse to the sender., which is unfortunate considering that the seller don't respond to me.
I meant I get, they make and sold these things, but there is clearly an issue with the logistics. It should be solved!

Holden | Jan. 12, 2021

I never received device.

For CC2652 ZigBee coordinator or OpenThread router

I never received device and haven't heard back from the seller. The tracking provided only says the package left the originating country a month ago.

Stick not detected

For CC2652 ZigBee coordinator or OpenThread router

Ordered the stick. I tried to follow the flashing guide, however nor a Windows computer or a Mac detect the stick. So I can not flash the stick.

Had a brief contact with the seller on Telegram the day the stick arrived on December 18 2020. Never heard from him after that. No replies on my mails and Telegram chat.

Really disappointed! Have a stick that I can’t use.

Do not buy!!!

For CC2652 ZigBee coordinator or OpenThread router

Do not buy!!!

I bought it and had it delivered in Brazil, almost 4 months ago and it was not delivered. Then I bought another one, I asked a friend in Germany to buy it and bring it to me. 1 month ago and not even a tracking code was sent. Besides, it doesn't answer emails, messages.

This seller has no responsibility!

!!! DO NOT BUY !!!

For CC2652 ZigBee coordinator or OpenThread router

!!! DO NOT BUY !!!
I ordered on 20.Oct, the seller pretended the item is shipped a couple days after that while the DHL tracking said the package was dropped on 27.Oct for real.
Speaking for DHL - this is the other terrible thing, the tracking says the item is still in Cologne since 30.Oct and does not move anywhere.
I contacted DHL and they told me that only the sender can request investigation to be done.
I contacted the seller a couple of weeks ago and he doesn't respond, even doesn't read the messages.
So I contacted Tindie to help me resolve this case and their answer was: well Sascha is overwhelmed, we had similar issues with DHL, please wait...

Conclusion: the product might be good, I don't know even I purchased 45+ days ago I don't have it yet. The seller's communication and overall attitude is TERRIBLE. Will not use Tindie anymore!

BTW: usually DHL shipping to Bulgaria (where I live) take 2-3 days, I haven't had/heard such experience so far.

Avoid this seller

For CC2652 ZigBee coordinator or OpenThread router

Seller stated to send the package in 2-3days.
Its been 3 weeks since I made the order and the item still hasn't shipped!!!
To escape the 14-day money return policy, the seller marked the item as shipped a week ago, but its not true. The DHL tracking code clearly states the item was never shipped, he just created the DHL ticket!
To make things worse, he doesn't reply to any messages (I sent him 3). Not a word from the seller.
So I don't have the product, I don't have my money back and I don't even know if I'll ever get the money, the product or none!
Couldn't be worse!

Terrible communication from seller

For CC2652 ZigBee coordinator or OpenThread router

Placed an order end of Aug. Been hanging in the lurch for 3 months now. Had notice of shipping but the item never arrived. Seller sent one email regarding a second shipment, but I've attempted to contact him multiple times since then and received no response.

I have no qualms that the item is great, but this customer service is atrocious. I don't mind waiting for the item if I could just get some sort of message updating me of the situation!

Scott | Nov. 11, 2020

Never shipped

For CC2652 ZigBee coordinator or OpenThread router

Seller was very unresponsive. Ordered Sept 23 and was told 3 different times it was shipping. Never received. Similar to other purchasers, I tried to work with him, but he never responded.

Christopher | Nov. 9, 2020

Disappointed

For CC2652 ZigBee coordinator or OpenThread router

It's been three months and the only highlight is the eventual refund. Poor communication from an overwhelmed seller which left a lot of people in the lurch. I like many were patient and even offered to pay more to make up for the shipping issues, but it fell into an erratic vacuum. I wish the seller all the best, but perhaps should re-evaluate whether this is a worthwhile effort.

Attila | Oct. 29, 2020

Scam

For CC2652 ZigBee coordinator or OpenThread router

Not received the item after 12 weeks. Upon inquiry the seller sent some bogus email about personal issues but repeatedly refused to provide date of dispatch.

Waste of time and money. Will ask for refund. Looks many others had same experience.

Andrew | Oct. 7, 2020

Nothing received and communication severely lacking

For CC2652 ZigBee coordinator or OpenThread router

My order was placed on the 8th August 2020 and I've made a couple of attempts to get a follow up on status but the seller seems to have dropped off completely.

Unfortunately I cannot recommend buying from this seller as you will be left completely in the dark. Some ethics in business communication would go a long way. The seller seems to be active on Tindie based on their last seen status on their profile, on a daily basis, but does not to respond to any messages.

I have made a request for a full refund so we will see how that goes. Terrible (basically non-existent) customer service.

Tommy | Oct. 5, 2020

It's been 2 months received nothing, no response from seller

For CC2652 ZigBee coordinator or OpenThread router

Ordered on august 3rd, seller shipped august 15th without tracking number
Seller had a few problems with first shipments being returned to him...
So I waited...
It's been 2 months and I still have nothing.
Seller doesn't answer emails or Tindie messages but is still taking new orders ? this is wrong.

Do not order from him, looks like a scam.

Dionysios | Sept. 4, 2020

Item never arrived

For CC2652 ZigBee coordinator or OpenThread router

Sender charged almost 10 euros for shipping in the EU without tracking or proper packaging as he mentioned that "package has come back to me. Broken, missing content, some even totally destroyed." . Is DHL post really that bad?!
I wonder how can tindie charge customers' credit cards without proof of shipping.
I was lucky and got a refund. Good luck to the rest of you
