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.

Portable USB 3.2 Gen 1 to USB Hub | Bus-Powered | USB 3.2 Gen 1

This portable USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub gives you an easy way to add four USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports to your laptop, with individual power switches to save power. The USB port expander plugs easily into your laptop’s USB Type-A port. Plus, it’s bus-powered for easy portability.

Connect Your Current USB Devices

Use your existing USB 3.2 Gen 1 devices such as flash drives, mouse, keyboard and external hard drives. The 4-port USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub expands your computer’s USB Type-A port into four USB 3.2 Gen 1 (Type-A) ports, and it’s backward compatible with your older USB 2.0 devices.

Individual On/Off Switches

Each port on the USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub has its own power switch so you can turn off devices when they’re not in use. That means you can better manage power consumption for your USB devices, without having to physically disconnect the device or cable.

Easy Portability

With its compact, lightweight design, this hub is perfect for portable use. The versatile USB to USB hub is bus-powered, with no need for an external power adapter. You can travel lighter with fewer cables to carry with you.

Plug and Play

The 4-Port USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub installs automatically when you connect it to your laptop, so you can be up and running in seconds.

HB30A4AIB is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
