5/5

posted Jun-21-2012
I did a lot of research on the Tech Station product before I bought one, and saw mostly good reviews. There were a few bad reviews on YouTube saying the product was "cheaply made".
I received my order the other day. I haven't put it together yet, but I can tell that it's not "cheap". The product was really heavy, about 11 pounds. A review I read complained about plastic parts, but I have a feeling those were manufactured that way intentionally, in order to help against ESD. You can't have metal screws or other parts touching the components. The problem with the Internet is that everyone can make "reviews" even when they are uninformed.
Yes, it does appear to be a small business, but that shouldn't matter. The product is made in the United States, and has excellent customer service and comes with a lifetime warranty. They can provide more personal service that most larger companies can't provide. I don't have to call an 800 number and talk to an uninterested "support person".
After I placed my order, I decided I wanted to add another item to my order. I had already paid, and asked them to send me a new bill through PayPal. But the customer service emailed me back and said they would throw in the part for free because my shipping was more than I had expected to pay. I don't know the exact price, but I think the part was $15-$20.
They've been quick to respond to all of my emails since I've ordered. If I ever get my business going, I will be ordering more of the Tech Stations.
