Terrible company

Terrible company. I ordered a microphone that is clearly advertised as a dynamic microphone. I received a condenser microphone. I tried to return it but they refused my return and said that I got exactly what I paid for. I paid for a dynamic microphone that does not need external power and received a condenser microphone that requires 48v phantom power. Never will deal with this company again.

Inaccurate website, uninformed customer service.

The absolute worst company I have ever dealt with. I ordered a keyboard stand and a second tier add on for a second keyboard. I first made absolutely certain the stand and second tier were compatible on their website. Upon getting them I found that the only way they would be compatible is if I machined new holes along the stand. I emailed them including the problem, and the sku's of both purchases. After weeks of back and forth I'm no closer to being able to return them. Buy from them AT YOUR OWN RISK.

5core sent me a music stand missing a rivet and it doesn't function correctly. I filled out the necessary paperwork and expected an exchange within a few days. 5core never sent the exchange and now all their phone lines are out if service. They don't respond to the chat function. I had planned to purchase more equipment from them, so in a way, I'm glad I found out about them now!

Hello Chris,

Hope you are doing good!

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience with the music stand and the inconvenience caused by the missing rivet and delayed exchange. As a music enthusiast I can totally understand how disappointing it feels having our passion of music put on a pause. When music is such an important part of your life, not being able to perform just due to a missing part on my equipment really feels like being cut off from a source of joy and self-expression. This is not the level of service or quality we aim to provide, and we sincerely apologize for both the product issue and the communication gap you encountered.

We completely understand your frustration, especially since you had planned to purchase more equipment from us but this issue has put a question mark. However I would like to reassure that your trust means a lot to us, and we’d like the opportunity to make this right. Please reach out to us directly at customercare@5core.com anytime. You can also call our customer care team at +19376697078((Mon - Sat) -> 10 AM to 6 PM EST) with your order details so we can prioritize your replacement.

I have also checked that you wrote this review back in March. If you have already received your replacement by now, you can share the update under this thread.

We value you as a customer and hope we can regain your confidence in our products and service by delivering the best resolution. Thank you for bringing this to our attention — your feedback helps us improve.

Warm Regards
-Team 5 Core Inc.

I purchased a bull horn

I purchased a bull horn. It never worked for voice. The V- light came on and never went off. I called them and they said they would send a replacement but never did.
I will no buy anything from 5core again.

Hi Tom,

I’m truly sorry you had this experience. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to get a bullhorn and find that your voice doesn’t come through — especially when you likely needed it for something important like an event, safety, cheerleading, or sports. I can also understand that coming with a defective voice output, the situation has got even worse with an ever lighting LED that feels really awkward. In moments where you need to be heard, having your equipment fail can be incredibly frustrating.

I also understand that you were promised a replacement and never received it. That’s not the level of service we stand for, and I sincerely apologize for letting you down.

I’d really like the chance to fix this for you. Please reach out to us at customercare@5core.com or call +1 937 669 7078 (Mon–Sat, 10 AM–6 PM EST), and we’ll work together on the best solution.

We’re here to make it right and would be grateful for the chance to earn back your trust.

Kind regards,
-Team 5 Core Inc.

unreliable vendor

I purchased products from them as a drop shipper.
Sometimes, they did well, however, in some orders they made a fake shipment, and my customer did not receive the package.

Hello 林超,

I’m really sorry to hear about your experience. I understand how important it is for you, as a drop shipper, to be able to rely on us 100% — not just for your own peace of mind, but for the trust your customers place in you. If an order isn’t fulfilled correctly or appears as a “fake shipment,” it can cause serious frustration and harm both our reputations. That’s the last thing we want.

While I’m glad to hear there were times we delivered well, I want to make sure we resolve the times we fell short. Please contact us directly at customercare@5core.com or call +1 937 669 7078 (Mon–Sat, 10 AM–6 PM EST) so we can review the specific orders together, find out what went wrong, and make things right for you and your customers.

We truly value your business and hope we can restore your confidence in us. Your success is important to us, and we’re here to support you.

Warm Regards
-Team 5 Core Inc.
