I just read the Weathertech return policy and they can go jump in a lake of fire. The item has to be unused, the customer pays for the return and they charge a 15% restocking fee. I don't care if they are a USA company, they should have better customer support.

Well good luck with your dealings with them. I only have their one product, but knowing what I know and read now, If I can't preview their products for fit, then there's a trust factor there.

Anyway, if you buy from Amazon, you should be able to return without issue.

My two cents.

Unless they change their return policy, I won't be buying from them. Even the clothing catalogs my wife orders from come with a free return label.

That's what I like with Lacoste, too. Every online order comes with pre-printed return label.

I just re-read their return policy. The 15% restocking fee is for the TechfFoor returns. If I was to buy their floor mats and didn't like them, I would still get stuck paying for shipping both ways. I'll deal either local or with Amazon.

Got a decibel display for no important reason. I just thought it looks nice to monitor sound levels while I am using my DJ controller or listening to music.

Got it in less than 24hrs!!!
Really simple to install and use. It is only 5v so it is powered by USB.
Haven't decided yet how I would like to connect it to the audio source.

Here it is on demo mode.

I live less than an hour and one bridge toll away from a Microcenter.

I moved from a location that was 15 minutes away from one to an hour away. What was I thinking? LOL

It was part of a multi-item order, so I assumed they'd toss it in with other stuff. But to my simultaneous amusement and horror, it arrived in its own padded mailer.

And the Amazon guy brought it all the way up to us here on the 4th floor.

It won't be so guilt-inducing when they start using the solar-powered drones.

Happened to me last week. I ordered a set of wipers (front and rear) for my wife's car and the 3 wipers arrived one day after the other in their own giant boxes!

This is a newly released product on Amazon (no reviews yet) and I got an email invitation from the seller to test it (and keep it). The seller sent a 99% discount code for me to get it from Amazon.

Just discovering this thread. How come they allow you to test it? Do you do streaming/youtube or something?

I am not a Youtuber or a streamer.
I don't exactly know how it started. I did it once for one product when I received an email invitation to test some products. Then, I got another email from someone to do the same, and so on.

I even decline some of them when I have no use for the product. I don't want to keep accepting products just because they're free. I want them to be useful for me so I can actually review them.

The most useful I tested so far is an air fryer and a 3D printer. :)

Wow, that’s lucky! Never got an offer of such..

A Fire TV stick. This is the latest one bought to replace a first release of the Fire TV Stick. The new one knocks spots off the old one. Much faster in selecting Apps and no stuttering of sound and vision. Bluetooth works well with earbuds with no latency (lip sync) problems like the old one had.

Oh well... changed my mind and going for the AX3000 instead for future-proofing. They are both on sale anyway. Will return the first one.

You won't regret that. These will use the wireless for backhaul, and that will tak up some bandwidth.

I am happy to share the result of this upgrade.
The old mesh only has 50 device/client capacity.
The new mesh has 150 device/client capacity. With the old mesh, my devices are kicking each other out of the network and choking my 1Gbps network speed.
Wifi speed is now 40x faster than before.

Wifi speed tests below taken from the same room (home office).
