Sitting here, waiting just at the door the driver decides not to go to, that is both unlocked and 8 feet from me.

My terrible experiences with JLCPCB
Переглядів 6 тис.Рік тому
I had hoped that there would be a resolution where JLC stood behind their production and quality but at the end of the day, I was offered $100 dollars, less than 5% of what I lost in bad product they shipped to me. I asked if they could just replace or refund and have been forced into seeking paypal disputes and credit card charge backs for "library" parts used. I would say, if you you doing a ...

I don't know what worries me more, the PCB manufacturers saying that the standards change depending on which engineer reviews the design, or you saying that everyone makes mistakes and indicating that you know it well as a surgeon...:) My experience with PCB manufacturers is rather limited. I have devised just a couple of very simple boards to control lights and point motors in my railroad layout. I had PCBWAY to make the PCBs (I've done all the soldering work) and I'm very satisfied with the final product. But as I said, my PCBs were very simple and just for internal use. I would like to know how this issue of yours ended...
They gave me 10 dollars and I had to scrap boards... lost a lot of money
And mistakes happen everywhere, it's accountability that makes things work in the end
@@armi0024 Sorry to hear that. You lost money and time.
@@armi0024 Yes. You are totally right.
Got him, lol.
Totally understandable for the delivery guy to be so confused, maybe draw a diagram instead since your English sux.
The *Delivery* guy doesn't know his left from his right?
"something lost in translation" pure&simple.
Wait, so you were at the door and you knew that the driver just arrived but decided not to greet him and get your package? Why?
introvert to the max
How about if you buy something you you have a secure box for your junk?
I've got 15 years experience in emergency medical. It's not uncommon for some people to have difficulty using right and left as directions. Gerstmann syndrome is one thing that can cause it. You might be making fun of a person who has handicaps.
Couldn't possibly be a low skilled immigrant who sucks at his job.
@@fred6907 possibly, I use arrows pointing to the correct location.
@@Bryan-HensleyExactly.
@@fred6907Are you telling me that everyone, absolutely everyone born in the U.S.A. Are they "highly" qualified people who _always_ follow directions? Wow, the arrogance.
@@anna1417 No, just that certain immigrant tend to do it worse than others.
So many rights and so little time 😂
My assembled boards where missing two 0603 capacitors. No notice, just sent me them and the batch of 20 had them all missing. I complained and they said sorry the machine ran out of them during the picknplace. Ok, then can you give me a refund? The boards are useless without them, and I don't have any these caps and soldering 0603 components by hand? fk no. They 'checked' and delayed and they would not even ship me the missing caps, and said they would give me a $5 coupon for my next order... What next order after this horrible customer service. I had about 50 boards made before with no problems. wtf Unforunately, there is not many other options.
I just did a order some expensive boards off them and this is my concern. I would do a charge back on this since you are not getting what you ordered.
@@Unscientifically charge backs have been tossed when we tried. I still use them for prototypes, but becareful! My latest fun is that they asked how to identify pin one on an IC, I sent the datasheet back to them, they replied that their engineer can not identify pin 1... time for a new engineer.
Wow!
I've ordered over €1300 worth of PCBA's, over 15 orders. Never had a single board not working.
Doesn’t look very simple! But thanks for making video.
I feel you. I just had the same issue. 25% of their PCBA were deffective. I received a "20 USD" coupon for Thanksgiving. Then, this is a reorder from a previous batch, and suddenly they charge "special baking fee", and then "special component placement fee", then, its like they give you 20 USD but they end up charging 50 USD. And, after waiting one month of technicalities and waiting 24 hrs to get some random reply, you get the product, ending up with deffective parts. When complain is raised, they just tell you they can refund only a part but not the overall loss. I feel like the Chinpokomon chapter of South Park in which you get praised for your big "#$#" and sort of "fooled" while the bigger plan goes in the background. Then, after complaining, they "supposedly" refund you but that only appears on their website, the bank does not confirm that, so on top of lying, they scam you! They are so incompetent that they let go thousand dollar business for 50 USD, meaning the sales floor or whatever customer support it has, it is totally disconnected from engineering and playing childish games with the customers for whatever China Inc. plant they represent. Not good JLCPCB! You just won some another mad customer who will seek for a way to make it fair
You tried to do a production run on the cheap and you got screwed. Congrats. They are good for prototypes. I've never heard of anyone doing mass production through them.
Happy 2024 - Has anyone done this in a RBR20 ???? Thx,
I've seen converted ones for sale on eBay. It must be possible. The 4 pins in the RBR20 are in a slightly different spot and aren't labelled. Looking in one right now.
I bought a rbr20 by mistake needing a satellite. Any insight on which pins to use and if procedure is different for rbr20? Thanks
Ya my experience with anything built or manufactured in shenzhen is total garbage. They treat their workers like dogs , they have constant riots from the workers , it’s amazing their still in business.
Thanks for the heads up. This kind of video is so important for people looking for a PCB supplier. It sounds as though they are fine for small quantities of bare PCBs but risky for more expensive jobs..With Chinese stuff, if it goes well it goes really well but when it goes wrong, they’re not interested in the slightest. This mindset is completely different to UK businesses where I’m pretty certain that all the companies I deal with and myself included will always refund, no questions asked or replace if required. It’s hard to get around this different mindset when you buy from China, but maybe that’s how they keep their prices so low.
Yeah all they care about is their own profit. I completely agree, very, very small costing orders are fine but when they wont give you your $109 and say they don't make money, "for a problem they caused." Not Ethical...
My biggest problem with all the Chinese board houses is that the British customs authorities charging me "20 times" the price in import duty.
It's the same here, people who promote these services aren't telling you that plus the high shipping fees. These services aren't cheap.
Their customer service is worse than aliexpress. You never get refund if they mess up something.
No, I got a $20 voucher after they assembly wrong the USB-type C on my PCBA order
Thats completely wrong. Their support has been awesome since the beginning
I understand some of the complaints, but expecting low paid workers to work overtime for free is ridiculous. They probably already work 12 hour days. Office hours are office hours everywhere. Would this dude expect an American company the reply back at 2am? Would he ask them to stay up, and work overtime for free? This is epitome of American entitlement. Any other place in the world understands what time zones are, and people need sleep. People around the world don't placate their time zones to suit the U.S. I know if I was one of these engineers. I wouldn't be bending over backwards to help a person that complains about everything.
interesting assessment, wish I could watch the same video you were as your conclusions have little to no basis
@@armi0024For real, some how this dude heard that one problem you brought up and decided to just think the entire video was only about that one thing.
Would this work the same for a rbr750? Also would you be interested in doing this for me if so?
will this be similar for a rbr750?
Very cool! 👍🏼😎
interesting. I have been using them for years and in a production capacity for 2 years now and never had these issues. Sorry you had such a hard time.
I'm guessing you get good service because you are probably polite and courteous. This entitled guy expects people in China to work under American time zones. If he complained about that. He complained about everything.
Dream basement, congrats 👍
Have you done thos with an rhr750 ?
Does anyone know how to do this with arduino mega?
I want to be your next best friend
lol
Can you do this with arduino mega?
incredible home arcade you got there pal! It's great that these old classics are preserved and kept alive! great job!
thank you
Amazing home arcade. Do you work in the Arcade industry? I want to have an arcade like yours one day.
paradisearcadeshop.com
Awesome arcade! I recognized the name(s) from my PA purchases :) Did you acquire all the machines before/after the move from HI?
Most of these were after
Omg, I would live in your basement for life Fantastic job looks awesome.
We try to :)
Sweet, when you open? Excellent
Most of my collection is at Starcade MN
Is this a absolutely gigantic house for American standards? Absolutely bloody awesome
It's a bit bigger than average, we have been very lucky
Amazing Room! Awesome Pins!
Thank you
Thank you for the video. Worked great, super easy!!
Ohhhh…I’m so in!!!!
That’s a helluva space and a great collection.
Thank you
Got my pre-order in! Can't wait to have a solid working ICB again!
At first glance I was all "Yeah.. this'll probably be a meh level collection" and then with every room it just got better and better. Does he need an interior decorator? Maybe. But wow, what a roster of great games. From one collector to another, I salute you sir. Really miss my Spy Hunter Cockpit.
Lol, thank you, interior decorator? We need a few small things but the barnwood here is all hand carved in the early 70's. :)
I enjoyed the video. Whenever I watch man cave videos, I like to drink a nice cold can of beer. In my case, Coors Light, the most refreshing coldest beer from the Rockies.
Awesome, you have a pretty Arcade space!
Ok, tx Bryan. I am working on a prototype which I have decomposed into 3 10x10 cm board designs because in that way I can get it much cheaper. So scratches or broken off buttons do not really apply to my project. Nevertheless, I noticed that Jlcpcb kept the production going during the chinese new year holliday and so that could be a sign of exploitation of their employees. So I will give this some more thought... Basically, when something goes wrong, tuff luck to you... Which is maybe an other sign of exploitation, in this case not of their employees but of their customers...
Yeah that's bullshit - THEY produced the boards. OK so they were good then. But THEY ALSO packed them in the manner THEY did, which CAUSED the damage due to lack of attention and foresight. It's all on them AFAIAC as well. Usability is one thing - you are paying for appearance as well. You don't accept a car at a dealership with scratched to shit paint for the full retail price just because the engine runs....Hope you got your money back.
I have had similar experiences with their 3D printing. They delivered a bunch of half-way printed buttons to me and when I asked them to replace them, they said they could ONLY offer me a 10$ coupon and no other solution. I kept pushing for a full replacement and they just stopped responding. They also didn't even send me the coupon... And some of their resin prints are HORRIBLE. They just fall apart from touching them. Especially the 8228 Resin. Last time, they sent me a bunch of broken buttons as well.... the fins that line up the buttons had just snapped off, which has never happened before and couldn't have happened during shipping because the buttons were VERY well packaged in foam and didn't move at all in there when handling the box. And the reason I know they didn't break in shipping is because one of the broken off fins wasn't even IN THE PLASTIC BAG. So they broke off when they handled them in the factory and they just took the broken parts and placed them in the bag to make it look like they had broken in shipping, but missed one piece lol. Didn't get a replacement for that either, only a 5$ coupon code. These people don't give a sh*t about quality or service.
Way to go man! I've successfully converted one of my RBR40 to RBS40 with proper firmware flashed. One question, can we revert it from RBS40 to RBR40 using the same method?
I've used JLCPCB many times, and never once have they had questions for me. They just produced exactly what I had asked for.
Well... I guess if you do the numbers, for me they were about 85% effective, it just was a very expensive 15%. I think the thing that is most disturbing is that we all have times when things go wrong, but they literally blamed EVERYONE else but them. The crazy part is that they packed 300+ boards perfectly so they were safe and with no issues, but in the ones they packed differently so the pins they installed were up against the other PCB, they insisted, despite putting in extra packaging and charging me, that it was my fault because I didn't ask them to pack the pcbs safely, DHL's fault for not handling them properly, My fault for having them build the pcbs so they were more valuable, the list went on an on. Basically what they told me was, we did everything right, so the ones you got packed properly, those were lucky, not competent work. This, these scratched ones, these are our standard of work.
Same
He complained because people in China live in a different time zone. He expected people to give him special preference. Would you work overtime for free to help him? I wouldn't!
@poopoppy how are they not getting paid? If that's your conclusion, there is very little point in any further discussion
I've used JLCPCB for many years and only had small defects on 1 or 2 orders, which is a PITA, but mostly their service and quality is quite good. They like to offer discount vouchers when some pcb's have defects but I've found, like the you say in the video, some engineers are not up to scratch and produce a lower quality board. My orders have always arrived very well packed and I never use the special packing option. I always keep in mind that the service is great value and expecting 24 hour customer service is asking a bit too much when their working hours are not like yours.
could this work to fix a bricked satellite?
