Has anyone dealt with AmigaKit in the USA lately? I've never used them before. I tried to call yesterday to spend money but their phone seemed out-of-order.
I got burned a few months ago trying to use a credit card online, so this really needs to be a voice order.
-
I bought from AmigaKit last month. I didn't need to call though.
-
Sorry about that- phone line should be working- email us and we will call you back.
-
I would NEVER trust Amigakit if I were you, they sell stuff that is highly addictive! :lol:
-
I bought from them via website in august. Great experience and highly reccommended
-
Great service, good prices! Highly recommended! :-D
-
I've used them in the past and got excellent service via email (their drivers and documentation are second to none).
However, the last few times I've asked about their products in the forums have just been ignored though, so if you have any questions then try emailing them.
-
Great company
-
one of the few you can trust
-
Just do it! AmigaKit is the best... never had a problem.. fast shipping to the states.. on average I get my orders within 6 days (including weekends!). They are also easy to get in contact with in case you have a question about the products! I think i've ordered from them 5-6 times
-
I have had a few things from AmigaKit and I have found them to be fast and trustworthy.
No problems there. :-)
-
Oh, and if anyone wants to get their A1200 online fast then I highly recommend their PCMCIA eithernet card solutions. You don't just get the card, you get everything you need. The install disk is so simple I had it networked to my PC's cable modem in minutes and just as I was asking myself if I had set it up right it started updating it's own software in front of me!
-
As said before Amigakit is the best :-)
-
I've bought a variety of stuff from AmigaKit using their website, always arrives quickly and always as described. Their reputation is second to none for a good reason :-D Anything I can get from them, I do.

Same as below :p
-
Same as above!
Yes I've ordered from them before and everything arrived quickly and in fine working order. My stuff was shipped from the UK as well. Was actually quicker than domestic packages. Go figure.
Actually about to order a floppy drive from them since my attempt with Software Hut appears to have turned into a debacle.
-
Yep.........same here, Great Guy, Great Store, Great service, great products!
I do have a question though......I wasnt aware there was An AmigaKit USA........Dos that mean they have products here in USA to ship, so that I dont have to have them Shipped from UK?
-
I'm not sure what the difference is between AmigaKit "UK" and "US". I'm guessing AmigaKit US is the same outfit based in the UK shipping to the States, so you should hopefully recieve the same service us in the UK get.
Anyways, based on three previous transactions with AmigaKit, I can HIGHLY recommend them. Very fast, professional service and reasonably priced. Keep it up AmigaKit!
-
I talked to the owner over the phone last month in fact nice
guy and we chatted for awhile I have ordered a bunch of
stuff from them they are johnny on the spot with orders and
when they are not trucking around the world attending all the
shows etc.. You can find em on the phone..

Thanks guys. I spoke to Matthew today on the phone, very helpful.
Here's the great news. He has MASPLAYERs in stock! Others here have been wishing for these for years. Other vendors list them on their sites but have no stock. Get'em from AmigaKit while they last. I ordered a second one today.
-
@Tenacious
No!!!! Don't tell anybody! THere won't be one left for me! hehehe. :-)
I hope He stocks tons of them. I will probably get one for my A600 and go for the Delfina or MP3@64 for the 1200
Anyone know if the MP3@64 works with AMPlifier? and if there are any CLI commands to run MP3 fromthem? reason is I want to run MP3's from SCALA through a CLI command.

I'd like to have someone at Amigakit build a 1200 in a tower so I can do drawing and image processing . I don't know much about this sort of thing except that I have used Dpt4 and TvPaint and other fine art programs several yrs back . I enjoyed the amiga I had years ago. I think I need a 1260 and a RTG board and ram and software and other things ..Can you build this for me ?

I just bought one! One more less in stock! Better hurry!!! :crazy:

Don't know how many times we have to sing the praise for AmigaKit here in the forums, but I really don't mind.
They are the best Amiga reseller period! I have bought from their USA website and from their UK website, as well as in person during the 2006 AmiWest show. (Lucky for my bank account that I was unable to attend AmiWest this year, as I would most likely have purchased more "Kit" from them this year as well) :lol:

It's the Slurm of our time, huh?

Got an A1200 motherboard with what appears to be repaired traces on the bottom left corner. I have to reseat roms and tap the machine every once and a while since it resets or acts really wierd. (garbled graphics, sudden loss of memory, resets, garbled graphics in early startup menu).
My previous A1200MB worked fine before I ruined the IDE header, so this behavior isn't due to quirks in my configuration.
When I emailed them about this they said the motherboard they sent was in working order.
Well yeah it works, just not 100% of the time. Could see how they could have pushed it through as you have to use it for a few hours to see catch the problems as they're sporadic.
Can't advise a refurb motherboard purchase, but I intend to order from them again for some future equipment.

well Dave you may be right..I didn't realize a 1200 could be that expense ...Perhaps I should consider a Mac Pro. and run Amiga software .

After reading through this thread I have finally ordered a new mouse from AmigaKit. I had posted on other threads about my A4000 HD crashing then the mouse went belly up. Now that I have a little extra cash I ordered my mouse!! I cant wait to get it so I can get my A4000 up and running again. I got another spare HD loaded with WB and then the mouse tore up so I have been at a stand still until I got a new mouse.
Beam it to me Scotty!! LOL
-
Mouse just come in today!!
Off to the shop am I!!

I have used Software Hut for years. But recently they couldn't help so I tried AmigaKit. I was amazed! The price was less than Software Hut (even with shipping!!) and they were far faster than I thought they could be.
AmigaKit also keeps you informed of your order's status until it hits your mail box.
That was enough to convert me. These guys are great to deal with!
I'm not diss-ing Software Hut (any one can run out of a product) - But AmigaKit is great!
-
heh, i used to have to set myself a budget each month of stuff i would buy from them.
it kinda peetered out when my A1200 reached max capacity, then i got an A500, but thats kinda maxing out now. But now i've landed another couple of A1200s and an A600! help me!!! take my credit cards away!!!! :lol:
