    "Dishonest company don’t shop here"

    Posted 2024-11-18

    Pros: Nothing my CNC is a paperweight! They require me to use 100 words in this box and I said exactly what the pros were in my first sentence there are no other pros to this machine. It is a corrupt company dishonest does not honor their word as I can prove through emails.

    Cons: Vertical in emails has told me I could transfer the overpriced software for my CNC I acquired from an individual. When I contacted them to do said transfer and pay the $50 fee they made me start jumping through hoops into the point to where they finally just didn’t even provide the transfer now I have a CNC machine that just takes up a bunch of space. because they’re in England there’s not much it can be done about it. I guess here in America. This is why you buy American products made by Americans so that you can have an upright honest encounter steer clear from this company. They are not to be trusted. I told them I would leave a review if they did not honor their word and it would be an honest one and here it Purchase your risk

    Overall: Horrible very crooked deceitful company below they made me choose a timeframe that I use the machine that’s the problem. I haven’t been able to use the machine since I bought it because they won’t honor their word. Would I recommend this thing? Hell no!
