TheDucks Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 <head slap> Mr P has it. I bought a majority of my stuff on Pre-seson sale. (but how would I know which was a preseson item, I have bought the same later, besides, I sometimes cut strings (the cut was not near or the cause of the fails). I understand merchant issues. The folk who scam returns. Twice I have gotten Laser printer (customer repackaged NEW stuff). I won't by previously sold, electronics returns because of all the 'missing part or WRONG part in the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 HC use to have two sales a year, one in January and one in July. The January one always bothered me because we only received a 60 day warranty so I would receive items in April but not be able to put them in system until November. If they didn't work I was pretty much out of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dinning room is my prop building room year round. One of the perks of being single. But I do agree agree that the 60 day warranty bites! I am waiting for the pre-sale this season. I need 2 more controllers, nodes, and pixel net. All will come from Holidaycoro. Edited December 17, 2019 by gsmith37064 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always test when I receive them but it always seems that things work differently when they are installed in a full system for some reason. I still purchase lights and stuff but I have pretty much passed on their Alphapix controllers now. Maybe the newer versions are more reliable but the original/older versions V1 and V2 always had reliability issues so I now purchase Falcons.

I would like to get a couple of their new controllers, but I hear they have off color issues with lights. So I guess I will pick up 2 more Alpha's.
