Very easy to place an order for whatever you need in scanners.They email you and ask if there are any concerns and if they can assist you with anything.That’s great Customer Service in My Book.Thanks Zip Scanners.

Awesome company. Scanner meets all my expectations. One thing I recommend is having them program it for you, well worth the money. Buuuuut, I messed up and was checking out the functions of this awesome scanner and some how deleted everything they programmed for me. I had to spend most of the day I received it trying to program the departments I want to receive. I dont think I have All of them but I do get some. Definitely a learning curve to figure out. All in all though I love this scanner and would recommend it. The service from the company is great and I received it in record time.

Zip Scanners is a really good company to purchase scanners from, and their customer service is good too! If you need a scanner from a reliable dealer, then Zip Scanners is your place! Fast delivery and they check with you to make sure you’re satisfied! Couldn’t ask for more from a company! Great job guys!

I ordered a scanner to be programmed and a few other items. Everything arrived on time and quickly except for one item. The packing slip said it would ship from the warehouse. I waited a few weeks and it never came in so I contacted them. They said it had shipped but since I hadnt received it they would ship me another. True to their word, they did. I received that item within a week. They truly do an awesome job and have great customer service.

I bought my scanner from this company and I love it. Took me awhile to get used to using it. But the company cares about their customers and shares videos and websites of how to and useful tips on how to use your scanner. I’m still not 100% sure how to completely use my scanner to its fullest ability but it does what I need. And it’s great knowing I can email or cal the company and they will help me.

My scanner was on back order and still got it really fast. The team was supper helpful constantly checking in whether because it was on back order, or because they were concerned that I would not get much in my area because here the police encrypts their channels ... Great experience.

I have been in the scanners over 60 years and they have gotten to the point where they are very difficult to program. Zip scanners have been able to take care of this problem for me and make using scanners enjoyable again.Very helpful Every way possible. I had my new scanner programmed before they sent it out and it worked wonderfully.Would highly recommend their service.

Proven Professionals when it comes to “any” type of scanners! They “listen” to your needs and answer questions prior to you placing an order.I was in law enforcement for most of my life and somehow just needed to have the radio in the background while either working or relaxing.Plus I was an old crystal set guy and although I am well versed on a computer, I had them set mine up because, it was easy, and they do this for a living.In closing, if you need a scanner of “any” type you simply can’t go wrong with Zip scanners.And I didn’t know them from a cake of soap when I found them on the internet.Ken Stanton

I first found Zip Scanners while researching an issue I was having with my first scanner. This site was very informative and I eventually bought my new scanner through them; one that resolved the issue. Simulcast. If I had any complaints it would be too many emails but that really isnt a bad thing.

Zip Scanners happily answered any of my Qs before purchase and the scanner arrived the same week it was ordered.A lot of the reviews for this company are neutral at best but my experience with them was just fine. Will order from them again if needed.

Review №15

Really great experience with Zip Scanners. Decided to buy from them based on helpful information on scanner selection on their website and youtube videos. A few hours after I placed the order they contacted me telling me they noticed the scanner wouldnt work for police and fire departments in the county where I lived and asking if I really wanted this model. I told them I purchased it for NASCAR and they told me I had made a really good choice for that purpose. I received my order quickly and it worked for me.

My scanner works well. With all the other distractions in our world currently, I havent spent as much tome with it as I could. I purchased it as a long term investment. I plan to move and the ability to program for any location is great.

I purchased my SDS100 from Zip Scanners back when everyone was out of stock. They were great to work with and keep me informed through the entire process with updates. When I later had an issue with the Scanner (issue with charging system) they were quick to support/diagnose and replace the scanner with a new unit.

Hello. I am a blind person who loves listening to police scanners. I ordered a sds200 Uniden police scanner from Zipscanner. The person was extremely helpful. I would definitely order from them again. I have ordered another scanner from another company but the guys from Zipscanners were way more helpful.

Ordered a Whistler TX1. This company saw my location and replied to me that this scanner does not scan simulcast broadcasts in my area. I replied that this would not work form me. They refunded my purchase immediately.Most companies would not even recognize this. Any more radio purchases I will check with ZipScanners first. Great customer service.

High marks for customer service. I was trying to buy scanners and headphones to use for NASCAR races. Using the website- I was unable to secure the programming I wanted.( that’s why only four out of five stars). One phone call and everything was resolved. I had the product within three days.The website provides a very good tutorial on scanners.Very pleased and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. They know their stuff.

I bought a scanner on backorder and then received a call from their person in Texas (by cid area code) telling me that all police traffic in my area was encrypted, so no matter what I bought it would not work for that in my area. I asked for a refund and got a full refund right away. Good job. No sale, but good job anyway. Ya gotta go with someone who knows this stuff! It aint like the old days!

Great experience, emailed over the weekend asking about scanners. Had an email back from them by 8:15 Monday morning with what would work best in my area. I ordered the one they recommended and had them do the programming of it. I received it on Thursday open it and turned it on. Works better than I could have ever expected! Thanks Chuck

I ordered an SDS100 with all the trimmings, unlocking all the optional decoders (which are quite expensive). Before finalizing the order, they got in touch and made sure that I meant to do that, telling me most people dont require that extra functionality.Nice job guys, next time I can afford a flagship scanner, youll be top of the list of places to look for it.

Review №50

I purchased a Whistler TRS-1 handheld scanner from Zip scanners a few years ago. The scanner itself seems solid, but has a sort of high learning curve. I also purchased programming for a few counties near me, in Colorado. I live in Boulder County. When I received the scanner, I quickly noticed that instead of Boulder, all of the county resources were named St Clair instead. I sent a note to Zip, requesting correction of this. They responded saying the programming was correct and just to treat Boulder as St Clair (i.e. live with it). I felt that response was poor customer service and I would have a hard time recommending Zip scanners unless someone was ok with doing their own programming.

Review №51

Nice guys, good videos. Hard to get on the phone. EDIT...Happy to take your money but don’t bet on getting technical support. Went on their web site and scheduled a tech support call. Got a confirmation/invitation email with a time. Waited around for a call but never got one. Bearcat warehouse and Scanner Masters both answered their phones when I called them so any one thinking of a scanner purchase should consider this. They say life time tech support but 3 weeks after the sale I am unable to speak to some one. I tried to patronize a small company and this seemed to back fire. I was able to talk to some one 2 times out of countless calls. I would have spent my money elsewhere if I had known how it would be after the sale. Sorry, I tried.

Ive been dealing with Zip for awhile. They are amazing. Ive had many questions and they have had the answers. I had a problem with a Uniden Scanner Warranty and they intervened to get my scanner fixed. When the local first responders switched to P25, I had an updated sim card in less than a week with all the new freqs. Super nice folks and a joy to deal with.I cant recommend them highly enough.

Review №54

Zip Scanners are probably the best on the Web at what they do, I wanted to buy a scanner form them and I discovered...the excellent welcoming and very pursuave website doesnt match their interest or care when someone a bit challenging comes along, and just might need a little push to spend that kind of money.Truly disappointed in this wanna-be lack of real customer service and Laissez faire attitude, they really need someone who is interested in prospective customers - probably wouldve resulted in a sale, but they lost me...If you dont care about this, then I suggest you buy from Zip Scanners, but I wont...

After doing research I settled on the Uniden SDS100. I chose ZipScanners for their positive reviews on YouTube, and I was not disappointed. They delivered my scanner when they said it would arrive. I also chose their programming service and that was a good move. It was set up for my area, so I could start enjoying it right out of the box. All of my emails were answered with the information I was looking for. One of the main reason I chose Zip was they are a small family business, I know I’m supporting a small business. Thanks Zip Scanners the SDS100 will last me years of service.

The best place to purchase your scanner.Before purchase I inquired of programs necessary for my county. Then I purchased with recommended options for my county. The sds100 uniden arrived a week later, after charging I turned it on and away it went. It is performing flawlessly out of the box. By far the absolute best place to purchase your next scanner, these guys are top notch. I so highly recommend them.Thank you Zip Scanners for an amazing ready to go scanner.

I wasn`t totally sure of what I needed in a new scanners for what I wanted to monitor so I looked on line and got a little frustrated but, then I contacted Zip Scanners.From the first email it was completely different from other on line venders. I got clear and specific information and their suggestions have been spot on for the upgrades I needed for my area. Their help with setting up the my order was fantastic. The pre programming was a great suggestion. The shipping was four days earlier than the estimation.Without Zip Rep`s help I`d still be trying to figure out how to use my Uniden sds200. Great service, support and I will be a return customer.

Ordered the SDS100 on April 7th and it was on Backorder. They received more stock 2 days ago I think and I received my scanner Today April 30th! Well packed and Zero damage! I had watched a few videos and downloaded Sentinel software as well as went to Control Panel in Windows 10 to turn on dotnet.3.5 which also has the needed 2.0. But before connecting to computer, I installed battery and antenna and within 5 minutes of opening the box I was listening to local agencies! Wouldnt have taken that long but had to set time and date. Great company ZipScanners! Love the radio! Highly Recommend Zip Scanners! Theyre extremely helpful AND they have much more than I could have imagined. This includes a wide variety of Antennas at truly reasonable prices. Also many ways to mount that Antenna and get a clear signal to your radio.If youre into listening and want to know whats going on around you, talk to these guys! They are Top Notch!
