Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Problem with an order right now? Write to [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected] — answered the same business day. The letter also lists our group and store owners' contacts.

The LevelOne GES-2118P Hilbert gigabit PoE smart lite switch provides 16 RJ45/PoE+ ports (10/100/1000 Mbps, supports 802.3at/af) with a total PoE budget of up to 230 W, plus 2 Gigabit SFP uplink ports. It transports Ethernet traffic over copper or fiber and is compatible with the LevelOne IP Locator discovery tool for easy device identification on Windows and Mac systems.

Advantages

The GES-2118P combines gigabit connectivity, PoE+ power delivery and SFP uplinks in a compact smart-lite platform. It simplifies deployment for small and medium business networks by offering centralized discovery with LevelOne IP Locator and by supporting common Ethernet and PoE standards for broad device compatibility.

Key specifications

  • Ports: 16 x RJ45 PoE+ (10/100/1000 Mbps) + 2 x Gigabit SFP
  • PoE standard: IEEE 802.3at/af
  • Maximum PoE power budget: up to 230 W
  • Switch type: Hilbert gigabit PoE smart lite switch
  • Compatibility: LevelOne IP Locator software; Windows and Mac

How to use

Install the switch in a rack or on a flat surface, connect power, then attach network devices to the RJ45 PoE ports or use the SFP ports for fiber uplinks. If needed, run the LevelOne IP Locator on a Windows or Mac computer to discover the switch and view its IP address and basic information for initial configuration and inventory.

Recommendations

For reliable PoE operation, ensure the total connected device power draw does not exceed the 230 W budget. Use compatible SFP modules for fiber uplinks and keep firmware updated to maintain security and interoperability.
