-

- : within a week. I ddn't get it until January 16th or sometime around then.
-
- : When I received my computer, it did not have OS3.1 that I had
- : ordered. Who packs equipment and doesn't check to make sure everything
- : you ordered is in there?
-
- : So, I called them back up, I was moving so Craig couldn't send
- : UPS to my place to pick up the package, I had to pay for shipping. He
- : said they'd reimburse me. Fine.
-
- : I sent the package off, they got it, put in the 3.1 ROMS and
- : installed OS3.1. Then they sent it out. Craig said it was shipped out on
- : a Thursday. The following Wednesday came and still nothing from UPS. I
- : called and talked to a Peter. He gave me the tracking number, said he
- : called UPS and UPs said it was en route. Now, I know he didn't call UPS
- : because I called UPS as soon as I got the tracking number and they said
- : there wasn't even an origin scan on my computer. So, how could it be in
- : transit?
-
- : They finally got my computer out February 2nd and I got it on the
- : 6th. Now, I open the package -- there's no OS3.1 disks like I had
- : ordered, there's no reimbursement check, and sure enough now the entire
- : keyboard is broken and does not work!
-
- : I'm am going to post this message quite frequently to remind you
- : Amiga Users who not to deal with until they finally get their act
- : together and get me the computer I should have had over 2 months ago now.
-
- : They have also yet to return any phone calls. I talked to a John
- : several times and he was supposed to get back to me on a few occassions
- : -- never did. Peter was supposed to get back to me after I called and
- : left a message for him -- never did.
-
- : In the meantime, do not order from them. I don't know what kind
- : of business they run, but obviously this isn't first class. :P
