Amigakit and their customer service...

[Scottish_Chris]

:bump::bump:

Having been away from the AMiGA scene for 11 years, I've come back and decided to resurrect my miggy's, which have languishing in a cupboard for all that time.  
Now all the retailers from back in the day are gone and only Amigakit remain, so I've put all my faith in them and ordered lots of replacement bits n' bobs over the last week or so and all I can say is the service thus far has been superb.

I look forward to buying lots more bits n' bobs and maybe an X1000 in the future.

Sorry to hear bout the drive troubles, I think Amigakit could describe the drives in a little more detail to avoid this kinda thing.

I've ordered a few bits off amigakit over the last couple of years, I have to say I think their customer service is top notch!

@ broken:

Here in the midwest, lots of teens/kids with confused ethnic orientations "soup" up those tiny "rally" cars all the time. Even more offensive than the way they dress themselves, they have more money tied up in "ghetto blaster" like subwoofers that vibrate their cheaply made and overpriced "bling" they stuck all over the car. 'Blaring' doesn't even describe the word for how loud they insist on playing that repetitive ghetto garbage they call "music". To make matters even worse, they'll also do away with the quiet factory exhaust and stick on a larger, shinier POS that makes their {bleep}box even more offensive. As if we couldn't already see and hear them coming. It's a trashy urban cultural phenomenon to be sure and I do not see positive social change happening any time soon. In cases such as this, where tackiness is now accepted and rampant, and class and common courtesy are all but obsolete, I cannot simply say: "to each, his own". These kinds of kids *need* to either be dispatched to their own worthless isle or reprogrammed.

Sorry for the hijacked thread, but since Andeda is sitting back with his popcorn and beer...  lol

It's happened. You have turned into your father.    :hammer:

To try to stay on topic - Amigakit is the best Amiga store we have. By any standard they are good, and their customer service is beyond reproach. They get my vote, and my business...

Yeah can't fault AmigaKit up to now.  So far I have bought a funky USB Boing Ball Mouse, a year's subscription to Amiga Future.  And just recently I bought an AmigaOne keyboard and Sam 460ex.. which in fact arrives tomorrow!!

I'd buy promotional merchandise as well if they stocked it... a Mug, a Pen, a Keyring... a mouse matt anything like that would be cool too.

[Buzzfuzz]

Hmm, I never had problems with Amigakit.
They ship quite fast, answer emails and I ordered quite some stuff so far.

Always had good service from AmigaKit, only thing you can "fault" them for is like Hektic said they could do with putting a bit more technical info on some of their products like HDs and DVD drive model numbers/ full specs and stuff like that...

At the end of the day though we should just be thankful that AmigaKit have stuck around and supported the Amiga Community through thick & thin for all these years and long may they continue to do so...

@actung_bab

Items have variable shipping rates based on the weight of the package and destination address.  You can get a realtime estimate of the shipping costs by clicking the Shipping Estimate button at the bottom of each product page.  The website will ask for your Zip/Postal code and then provide a quotation.  Hope this helps!

Floppy drives are here:

I've got to say I love Amigakit - hard not too. I've never had a problem with all the five orders I have placed. I plan many more - I too do wish that some items had more description. Or can we have some more items? I want 3.1 ROMS on my A4000 to run WK 3.1.....but there is only A4000T 3.1 ROM's which won't do without the Tower Workbench.......I feel victimised!

They should work fine in an A4000D, the only difference is that workbench.library is removed to make way for the A4091 SCSI device. Any Workbench 3.1 disk set will have workbench.library on the disks anyway, there are no specific A4000T versions of Workbench 3.1 disks. :-)

I curious why we're talking about this?  The thread is from years ago.

Simple, it was revived by a new/returning member a couple of days ago instead of starting a new thread on the same subject...

Anyway it's good to keep one of the few remaining Amiga shops in the spotlight in case any new folk to the Amiga haven't heard of them or for folk returning who may have forgot about them...

i'm on the op's side here. i get stuff off ebay and people turn round, after i find it doesn't work, and say the listing didn't say it worked it's as described. you should have checked first! then i am expected to pay to return it.
sellers need to take note of these things and describe them fully rather than losing customers. i had an instance of buying drum software described as having "55 kits." after i bought it i found it had 4 kits the company was defining a "kit" as a drum... i already had all that as part as other software and i did ask before hand but they never bothered to email me back after 3 weeks so i bought the software... after a long fight i got my money back but they are in my bad books for life. in that case they changed the wording. the only defence they had is that every other company was just as unscrupulous in their descriptions.
