bad afte rsales service
unfortunately i had bad luck with this product as it did not work out of the box
i raised this issue with core electronics and they suggested that i return the product for testing unfortunately the pi screen was part of our navigation system on our yacht and i could not wait the two weeks or more it would take to post the screen back to them and have it tested .
i explained this to them and asked if i could post the broken one back and have another one sent out so i could fix our navigation system before we set sail but they were unwilling to do that or even give me a refund
i can understand that they have procedures for replacements but they were unwilling to make any effort to help a customer who spent a substantial amount on a product that they sent out faulted.
i will write off the money i spent on this product and the bad experience of dealing with core electrons after sales as a learning experience that big companies do not give a shit about their customers.
the reason i post this negative review is to make others aware that this could also happen to them and if i could i would give a zero star review

Reply from Core Electronics
Hi Kevin,
We’d love to get you back on track. From your first message — which we replied to straight away — we’ve focused on assisting with fast responses and technical support.
Regretfully, we can’t ship a replacement before the original part is returned, especially for higher-value items. The process is straightforward.
If timing is sensitive, as mentioned earlier, please feel free to reorder a replacement now with express post. Once the original part arrives and is confirmed faulty, we’ll refund the product and the return shipping.
We hope our prompt support and ongoing communication help clarify to other readers that we do care and are committed to resolving this.
We’re a small family-owned business with fewer than 20 people on the team. If you’re ever in the area, you’re welcome to drop by, meet Jane, Graham, or Sam (the people who have assisted you), and see how we go about things here.
Let’s get this sorted as early as tomorrow with a replacement on its way.
Amazing

I ordered the wrong thing so I replied to the shipping email and they gave me a gift card for the full amount and cancelled the order. Completely my fault and they solved it within a few hours.
