Excellent Service and products.

I ordered 2 x User Interface screen adaptors for a VFD (VSD).
From Europe to Australia (Western Australia) in 10 days and that's normal post (Not Express).
Product was as described and great quality direct from the OEM.

I purchased 2x Siemens starter kits €300 each which they had in stock, when they arrived i realized i ordered the incorrect kit, I was 1 digit out on the very long Siemens code i ordered (which is 100% my fault, i should have been paying more attention) when i requested to return them (they were unopened) and purchase the correct kits from them, I was told 'NO' they can not be returned as i ordered them through my business and not as retail customer. Why that would make any difference, i have no idea. Be very careful when ordering from this company.

Dear customer,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

As previously mentioned in our communication, the items reserved for your order were unfortunately selected incorrectly by you.
For this reason, and in line with our company policy, we are unable to approve return requests from business customers in such circumstances, and therefore your return request has been declined.

We kindly invite you to review the terms and conditions accepted at the time of purchase, where these provisions are clearly outlined in advance. According to our Company Policy, the right of withdrawal—typically applicable to private consumers—does not apply to purchases made on behalf of a Company or Individual Firm. This is in accordance with standard practices and legal requirements governing business-to-business transactions.

"For customers purchasing as a Company or Individual Firm, the right of withdrawal is never enforceable."

We remain at your disposal should you require any further clarification or assistance.

Kind regards,
Sasha

BEWARE!! Overseas shipping and tariffs!

I ordered some parts online that totaled around $1400. The website claimed these parts were in stock. I expected delivery within a reasonable timeframe (5-7 business days). The parts didn’t actually ship for 2 weeks after order. Then they got held up in customs and I was charged $665 in tariffs. No mention on the website that these parts were coming from overseas and there would be delays and fees. That’s dishonest and shady. I’ll never shop with them again.

Dear Philip,
we are sincerely sorry for your dissatisfaction.

However, we would like to clarify that all information regarding shipping and customs fees is clearly stated in our Terms and Conditions, which are accepted and signed before proceeding with the order payment.

"The Customer may be subject to import duties and/or taxes, payable once the products have reached the specified destination and, therefore, cannot be quantified or in any way determined by the Seller."

Regarding the shipping timeframe, please note that your order was received in our system on 20th March and shipped on 30th March.
This means that the shipment was processed and dispatched within 7 working days from payment, which is fully in line with our standard lead times. For this reason, there was no delay in your case.

We assure you that we always do our utmost to assist our costumers at the best of our abilities and for this reason we have been always available for any clarification or support request.

According to this one of our costumer service representative will contact you soon.

Best Regards,
Sasha

Time wasters

Aware of some negative reviews concerning product delivery times and spotty availability, I contacted WiAutomation to make sure they had the two items I needed in stock and not just on the website. "Yes we do." So I placed my order and... the next day they come back and tell me they have neither product in stock. Website error yeah right. Waste of my precious time.

Dear Dawid,
thank you for your message. We are sorry to hear about your disappointment; however, we would like to clarify a few points:

we updated the delivery timeframe from the initially mentioned 10 business days to 10–15 business days, as we required your confirmation before proceeding.

At the same time, we offered you the option to cancel the order, which was carried out immediately upon your request, along with the refund.

We truly regret the inconvenience caused by this slight change in delivery time, but we would like to emphasize that we aim to operate with full transparency and professionalism, especially when such updates occur.

We sincerely apologize once again for any inconvenience caused.

Best regards,
Sasha

Don't expect your order anytime soon, if at all

If you want your order in a timely manner do not utilize this company! It was over 4 business weeks (well past their 1-10 business day lead time) for an item they had "in stock". I even paid extra for expedited shipping, which they refused to refund! The only reason I gave them the second star was because they communicated and didn't hide from their misinformation on their site.

Dear Customer

We are sorry to hear that there is an issue with one of our orders, and we have taken charge of the case, placing your purchase in top priority.

However, we need to clarify that this is a delay of a couple of days compared to the expected lead time, which ranges from 1 to 10 working days. This in no way reduces your urgency or the need to receive the order promptly.

The customer service operator handling your case is working for you.

Kind regards

**Delivery time vs. stock status**

I ordered an AXC F 3152 controller from WEAutomation and unfortunately my experience left me with mixed feelings.

**Delivery time vs. stock status**

The product was listed as "in stock" on the website, which I interpreted as being available in their European warehouse and ready to ship within a few days. In reality, it took 30 days to arrive. If a product is going to take a month to deliver, it should not be advertised as in stock — that label sets a clear expectation for any professional buyer planning around project deadlines. I would strongly suggest WEAutomation either updates their stock indicators to reflect actual lead times, or clearly distinguishes between "in local stock" and "available on order from manufacturer".

**Hardware and firmware age**

What concerned me even more was the state of the unit when it finally arrived. The controller came with hardware version 02 and firmware version 2020.3 — while the current production units are at hardware version 04 and firmware version 2026.0. This strongly suggests the device had been sitting in their warehouse for more than 4 years before being shipped to me.

Because of this, I had to perform multiple intermediate firmware updates to bring the unit to the latest version, since you cannot jump directly from 2020.3 to 2026.0 — the upgrade path requires stepping through several LTS versions. The whole process took me more than 2 hours of work that I should not have had to do on a brand new product.

**Conclusion**

The AXC F 3152 itself is a solid controller and works as expected now that it is updated. However, paying for a current-generation product and receiving 4-year-old stock with outdated hardware revision is disappointing. I would expect a professional automation distributor to either rotate their stock properly or clearly communicate when older revisions are being shipped.

I hope this feedback helps WEAutomation improve their stock management and transparency for future customers.

Dear Customer,
We are truly sorry that there was an issue with one of our orders. However, according to our research, it appears to be an order that was shipped with only a one-day delay.
Our stock contains products from different years,both new stock and older items. If a customer requires a specific version, they can request it before placing an order.
We kindly ask you to provide us with more information, such as the order reference, so that we can check the situation and, of course, find a solution!

Kind regards

Beware

Beware, the prices may look good but even though they say in stock, they are not. They will not accept a return and you will have taxes to pay. They are not based in your country although the web page may seem that way. Customer service is terrible and stop answering you once you ask for a return. Be careful with quotes as they will quote you a so called "equivalent" even though it isn't, then blame you.

You can see their answer below which is wrong and they are operating outside of the uk consumer rights act. Do not deal with these people.

Dear Customer,

We are sorry to learn that you are not satisfied with our service; however, we would like to clarify a few points in order to transparently review the situation.

Our sales representative sent you an offer specifically for the code requested, which you subsequently approved, and payment was made accordingly.

Our website displays the relevant information about the company VISION AUTOMATION SA (CH). This information is also indicated in the offer you received, as well as in the order confirmation, proforma invoice, final invoice, and other references.

Perhaps you are referring to the interface, but that only reflects the country from which the data is entered and is directly proposed by the website.

As stated in the Terms & Conditions accepted at the time of purchase, the right of withdrawal does not apply in B2B transactions. Nonetheless, our Customer Service team has responded to, assisted with, and managed every request you made.

We remain at your disposal for any further clarifications

Kind regards,
Sasha

Think carefully before ordering from WI Automation.
They say they have items in stock, there is nothing to back this up.
I ordered 3 new Moxa EDS408.
2 of them, had been preconfigured (new??), so the IP address did not match the attached label or documentation.
Had to order a USB to serial cable, as was onsite and didn't have one with me, so I lost a day of labour waiting for cable, so I could determine the actual IP addresses.
The 3rd one was an older firmware version, and Dead On Arrival.
Had to return the old item that was Dead On Arrival at my cost. Why are they supplying old firmware version on 1 of the 3? Why was it DOA and old firmware?
Spent another day of my time installing the replacement.
Very poor customer service (expression used loosely) from Martina & Maria
