I bought the Vevor Manual Winch Stacker Material Lift 72" Max Height ... left the title as only "Vevor" so that more people might find this review. I figure most of Vevor parts will fall into this catagory of issues.
Vevor doesn't allow reviews on their web site, so I figure people who buy it need to publish the results.
I bought the unit so that I could easily remove/replace the 70 pound "over range" microwave ... at 70, the body is getting a little weaker, so I figure this would help. Also, the window AC/Heater in the garage is broke, so I need to take it in for service, and again, a little heavy for me.
First time I ordered, for some reason Fed Ex returned it to the shipper ... no explanation ... but Vevor refunded my money within 1 day. So I re-ordered and it got to me in about a week.
Note ... 'googled' a bit to find "Vevor coupon" and found lots of places with $10 off coupon codes.
The parts inside the box are heavy, and are not secured ... they just bounced around while in transit. While each part was wrapped in paper-thin foam and very little paint scratching occurred, it destroyed the parts container inside so all the parts were floating around inside the shipping box ... which had holes in it from the heavy parts hitting the sides, so many many many of the nuts and bolts were lost in transit ... I had to dip into my personal inventory to put it together. Worst of all was the lack of a manual or parts list ... had to use the pictures to figure out how to put it together (even though the web site says it has a "user guide".

| Where's my manual !! ?? |
And NO, the manual is not on their web site.
I think there was a stamped flat wrench in the box "at one time" to put the wheels on, but it was missing ... and you really really need something like that. Anyway, once I put the wheels on, most pieces go together using the pictures as a guide. The two other things to note are:
1) the hand crank mechanism "floats" on the rail ... there is no way to lock it in place ... so I'll probably hammer in a wedge to lock it down. It is possible there is some sort of locking mechanism that got lost, but no way to tell without a manual of some sort).
2) my case came with an extra "A frame" piece that does not show up in any pictures ... just an extra piece of metal to float about and do more damage. It's about 18" x 24" and heavy, so it's not like I can overlook where it goes from the pictures.
The plywood base and back-drop are pretty flimsy but easy enough to replace ... if I like it, I might go to my sheet metal shop and get some replacements made with "diamond plate".
I've written them on the parts and manual ... we'll see how they respond.
