I recently purchased the PiTower Gen 2 case. The case looks fantastic but the supplied install files do not work. They are clearly a pre-release set with missing files and instructions. Their support did supply a pre-install image file. This is 18 months out of date and still not fully functional. This image also contained a readme file that named several files that are missing confirming my suspicions. Support are now giving me the run around in the hope I will go away. Do not buy this product until they fix the issues.
Regarding the 10.1, 9, and 7-inc IPS P4 HMI displays:
These are nice displays, but they sold me a bunch initially that were known to not fully work as-advertised (v 1.0). They had 1-bit SDIO, all of their materials claimed 4-bit (4x as fast transfer speeds).
superb support, highly recommended I can't thank the helpful people at elecrow enough my problem was both mine and corrected by their great support

Ordered custom PCB + mounting. All looked good until shipping. Order not shipped since 3 months back, no response on emails or support chat. Feels like i have been scammed…
Ordered ‘in stock’ items one month ago. Order still has status ‘product_processing’. Support email replies promptly ‘expected to be shipped within this week..blabla’ every time when asking for a status update. No clear answer. Very frustrating.
Company is making false claims. All 3 products I ordered were said to be in stock and currently are shown as "in stock", they are promissing 1-3 days for order processing, but now it's been second week and order is still in processing. I was expecting to get my order within 2 weeks as I even paid for fedex delivery, sadly, but project is on delay and I am starting to wonder if I will ever get my order or get a refund. stay away from this site
They say they have it in stock but they don't. I ordered on Nov 11th and I got it January 11th. The whole point of buying the M6 solar was it was turn key with meshtastic. They said it would be preinstalled and ready to go out of the box. It was not. It had nothing installed and they point me to a wiki page to go through a complicated multiple step multiple software download to install it and it still does not work. There is less hassle if I just build one from parts!
I wait over two months for shipping simply order and finally I apply to PayPal for refund. They are scammers Don't buy from them if you don't want months for shipping your paid order.

These guys are scammers. They market a product that's not ready only to collect people's money and not deliver the product after months of waiting. Absolute clowns

Supported the company at Kickstarter for the new CrowPi 3. During checkout, it said 0.00$ for shipping. There was no information on the whole site that shipping would be applied extra afterwards. Now all bakers received an email, where Elecrow is demanding extra payment for shipping from 34$ - 100+$ (depending on country) and keeps claiming that all bakers saw the estimated shipping fee during checkout. So they are literally blaming over 600 bakers that we all did not pay close enough attention during checkout. Instead of admitting their mistake and trying to find a common solution, they try to evade responsibility, even after so many people spoke up and showed screenshots proving them wrong; they remain silent and keep pretending it was our fault. No refund possible, either pay whatever they demand now, or you don't get any product and lose your money. DON'T TRUST THIS COMPANY! If there is ever any problem, they won't be honest and let you pay for it.

Dear Backer,
We sincerely apologize for the frustration and misunderstanding regarding the shipping cost for your CrowPi 3 order.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. There appears to have been a setting issue for the Kickstarter shipping fees, where the shipping fee did not populate as intended. We are truly sorry for the distress this has caused.
The vast majority of backers have now provided their shipping details and paid the fee, and their CrowPi 3 units have been shipped out.
If you have any further concerns or questions regarding your specific order and the shipping fee, please contact our support team directly at [email protected]. We are committed to addressing each case individually and finding a resolution. We value your support, which made the CrowPi 3 possible, and we want to ensure you receive the product you helped create.
Best regards,
The Elecrow Team.
50% more expensive than JLCPCB, and no customer service available. I don't see any reason to order there...

Hi Yolo, If you are not from JLCPCB, Could you forward your message to [email protected]? I will check who responded to the reply and didn't reply to you.
Elecrow has provided PCB prototypes and PCB assembly for more than 10 years and has won a lot of good reviews from customers. You can Google Elecrow PCB reviews.
I’m absolutely thrilled with the product and service from my recent purchase from Elecrow. My mini Blackberry BB9900 BLE&USB Keyboard is a unique and quite fantastic piece of technology and a great addition to my mobile computer/AR display glasses setup. My order had a minor cosmetic issue and I’m so happy with the quick response and resolution from the Elecrow team! Really exceeded my expectations and I’m already planning my next order. Thanks so much!

Thanks very much for your support and recommendation. We will do our best to provide good products and service.
Ordered open source GameCube controller motherboards twice now and they came quickly. Haven't had any issues with faulty boards yet, they all function perfectly. Will be ordering again.
I would be lost without the quality service from Elecrow. I have used many PCB makers and elecrow surpass them in quality, speed price and customer services.
I have ordered from Elecrow multiple times (100-500pcs batches) and every time the quality was very good. Leah and Jenny are very fast, responsive and adaptive. Definitely recommend!
