Thanks bro. Anyone not happy with basic products or shipping quality? (Not Shipping times, I know that will very for obvious reasons)
Bro, i can tell you are very new based on these questions, and you also mentioned being new to this -- so I am going to take some time here and be real with you (because we are all in this game together and need to look out for each other).
I have been a long-time customer and now I work for this source.
Therefore, you already know how I feel about the products -- I think it is one of the BEST -- so I will not get into details about quality or links to testing result etc... you can find all those.
This thread alone has 950 pages, and there are other threads, MANY testing results, and many other boards -- the brand has been in business for a decade and is one of the biggest producers.
My point: you need to do a lot more research and come to your own conclusions.
I am NOT trying to be rude -- actually the opposite; I am trying to be very helpful.
We were all new at one time and I understand you are trying to look into things by asking.
But, anyone online here can say anything. For example, I admit I work for the company, but some other shady sources or less honest people would not tell you such a thing and instead just push the product and make the sales.
On some boards you might think you are hearing from 10 different guys but its all one guy that made multiple accounts and screen names.
Anyone can say ANYTHING! -- remember that please.
You have no idea who is on the other side of the keyboard or what are his or her motives.
So, yes, that makes it challenging.
Don't respond to unsolicited PMs etc.
BE paranoid -- better safe than sorry.
But here is the advice on how to get real info:
Just be an active member and participate on boards.
While you are on the boards do as much reading as possible.
Read entire threads about any potential source.
Look for long-term patterns and established track records -- come to your own conclusions instead of asking some random guy on the internet what to trust.
Most of all, look for verifiable actual data.
And, take your time, your money will always be good anywhere so you are in the driver seat.
Therefore, and note that I work for Basicstero, I recommend you hold off and do some more research until you come to YOUR OWN conclusion regarding what source you feel confident trusting.
Basicstero is VERY good, and the long-history and test results etc will all support that fact, but I would rather you end up going with another source as a result of your own research than you buying here just because some of us say its good.
Remember, anyone can say anything online -- it does not make it true (goes for both good or bad reviews and suggestions).
Keep reading and learning!
Best wishes brother
