Review on πŸ“· Vantrue N4/N2S/T3 Dash Cam GPS Receiver Module Type C USB Port Car Suction Cup Mount for Windows and Mac by Jason Guzman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Have you received a used or repackaged product? updated.

I just bought an N4 camera and was looking to buy a GPS receiver. The N4 camera pack was brand new and the camera is in pristine condition. There are no problems with the camera at all. The GPS receiver, on the other hand, left a lot to be desired in terms of packaging and condition. The GPS receiver was packaged in a typical white Revain bubble bag. I opened the Revain bag and took out the receiver box. I immediately noticed that the box was open on the side. I thought it might have been torn in transit but neither the box nor the bag showed any signs of damage. I opened the doors of the drawer where it was already open and took out the pipe. There was no cardboard, foam, or bubble wrap inside to protect the recipient from rumbling around in the box. There were also no instructions inside, just the receiver (except for the plastic on the suction part) in the box and nothing else. It's unusual for a company that puts so much effort into the packaging of its latest camera model that the included receiver doesn't work as well. I thought. Maybe it's a returned product that they resell. After examining the receiver, there were a lot of white particles / dust particles / some kind of dust on it! It looks like it could have been a white rag to wipe it off but there is still some white fluff left. The plastic covering the sticky suction cup fell off immediately (the camera didn't have that) as if it had been removed and re-sticked. I cleaned it and tested the receiver. Everything is fine as long as the working state is running. but time will tell due to how i received it. The main issue I had was that the item appeared to be a used return which the seller was attempting to claim as 'new' again. . When repaired, like new, used. Just include it in the ad description so shoppers know what to buy and what to expect. Maybe I received a lemon or a repackaged product.? Despite this, I was very disappointed with the packaging and the condition in which the receiver was delivered. which said the product is supplied and operated by Revain which may explain the issue I was having above. However, the supplier also sent me an extension cable free of charge. Overall it's a shame the product came as it was and now I can tell for sure if it's down to Revain or the supplier, but the supplier was very helpful. The product still works, so I'm still happy.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • old
