TLDR; you get what you pay for. If you have demanding network needs and want a well engineered…read moresystem with service to match, I can't recommend Alee and HiTek Telecom enough. I contacted Alee with HiTek Telecom to get a quote on a complete network job for my home. Not only do my spouse that I work from home, but I also do a lot of photography and video that I transfer back-and-forth on my network and into the cloud. I was tired of poor and drop connections with my consumer level Wi-Fi system. In addition, I wanted a local security camera system that I can control without relying on a cloud service. After receiving a quote and agreeing on the scope of work, I scheduled the installation. Alee came out on time on the date scheduled and we walked through the plan of installation and confirmed what all my needs were. Alee and his team worked through the day and completed the install job in an incredibly professional manner. The installation and the cable runs, and all of the final product was exactly as described. After the install, Alee walked me through downloading all of the software that I needed, how to access and navigate the system, how to navigate and operate the security cameras, and ensure that everything was working properly. To be sure, this was a relatively large install for a residential application. I wanted ethernet drops in every room of my house, a new professional grade network cabinet, in-ceiling WIFi network, and a new suite of security cameras. I couldn't have asked for a better end product. I am quite pleased with the attention to detail of the install and making sure everything was perfect, workmanlike, and care was taken in my home. Alee came back out to adjust a couple of things for me after the fact and install an additional camera. Again, he was on time on the scheduled day. The workmanship was just as good and the communication has been stellar throughout. I truly can't recommend HiTek and Alee enough. Top-notch product and top-notch service.

I'd recommend Shawn to anyone: his knowledge, efficiency, customer engagement, and outcomes…read moredelivered are outstanding. He's a networking and IT superstar. Costs: If you are upgrading your home network or other capability, and need to buy new/more gear, Shawn doesn't charge a markup on the equipment. In fact, once he's designed your solution he will provide you with links to the exact products required and let you buy them directly from the vendors if desired. Or he'll buy them himself and present you with the receipts. Hourly rate: With the skills Shawn possesses, his hourly rate is substantial. And it should be. However, you can still bring your project in at a very reasonable cost PROVIDED you can be a smart customer. By this I mean you must be clear on the capabilities you want to achieve--or at least be able to listen to Shawn describe what's possible and then make rapid decisions. If instead you want a lot of customer education, Shawn can do that too because he knows an immense amount about IT and can communicate effectively. However, it's a bit like paying for a neurosurgeon to teach you about the types of aspirin available to treat a headache. That doesn't make sense; get a nurse instead! In my case, my wife and I work from the house. My goals were to increase the reliability of our home network. We wanted better maintainability (so when the internet goes down I can rapidly identify the problem and fix it). We wanted better network security. I wanted to add a home security camera because of problems with car prowls, etc. And finally, I wanted to move our networking gear out of our super-hot furnace room to a cooler and cleaner location. This was a lot. Other vendors had previously failed to come up with an affordable solution--or any solution at all. Shawn showed us how to do it for a very reasonable sum. Once we had a plan, I was able to control costs by getting a carpenter friend to open up the wall and pull wires through to the new location for the gear. Shawn also kept costs down by allowing me to provide extra hands as he mounted gear on the wall, connected all of our wireless access points to the new console, etc. These steps all require two people. Shawn was willing to let me help and he even maintained a high level of wit and good-natured ribbing throoughout the long day of work. In sum: great outcome, great satisfaction, great price.

Unfortunately this is the closest store to my house but it's absolutely useless to me. They never…read morehave anything in stock. I wanted to upgrade my iPhone and they didn't have the newest iPhone in stock. Feels like that should be something they have on hand. I asked where else I could go and they said they didn't know. I asked if they knew if another store would have it and they told me I'd have to go check myself. I've also gone in for screen protectors and they never have my size, even though I always have the newest iPhone. I went to another location to upgrade my phone and they said I could trade in my old phone by mail or just drop it off at any T-Mobile. I went here to drop it off and the guy said "I don't know how to do that" then went and hid in the back room for 10 minutes. I was one of two customers in the store, three employees, and couldn't be helped. If there were more employees than people and I just needed a simple drop off, the wait time really wasn't appropriate. It's not worth taking time out of my day to go to this location. I'm just going to drive to Kirkland and not waste my time here anymore.

I'd like to start with saying the employees here are super kind, but the manager, Masa, is rude. He…read moreis uneducated and told me Apple Watches only come in one band size and that size doesn't fit me and he failed to tell me that they could simply order me a watch that comes in a small band size. So after buying everything, going home, coming back to the store, and now I have to come back tomorrow because he couldn't fix the issue. Masa didn't even apologize he was emotionless. Their solution was for me to use my old watch band that's dirty, faded and disgusting. If I'm paying for an Apple Watch I better get everything that it comes with. Also need to add he responded rudely to one of his employees when they asked a question. It's not that hard to fake a smile and kindness at work instead of making everyone around you miserable because you are.
