Amigakit or Pendingkit?

[Mr_Byte]

Hi
I have experienced and have seen a growing trend the last year/months with people complaning on facebook and forums about very long pending status (several weeks) with item that are marked "in stock". I see people getting tired of waiting and want to cancel their orders, but never gets any answer (but gets a answer right after the items finlly gets sent).

I just wondering: Are all the items "in stock" really 100% in stock? if else you guys needs to hire some help to shipt all the items

@Mr_Byte
through the years I did a lot of orders, costing hundreds of euros, from AmigaKit, and never had any issue on items quality, packaging and speed of delivery. I am pretty confident and happy when I order from AmigaKit, because I know the high quality of their products and their support.

Me too. I have ordered for 2300 euro since 2009 But im sorry to say that for me they have lost their former glory and their service level is declining.
I found many others with the same opinion when researching today.

And their inventory (with quality stuff) is always shrinking. Their main competitor got new exciting stuff everytime i check, they respond to their emails, "in stock" really means" in stock" and will ship in one or two days (and one good rule for every company is to never speak negatively about the competitors).

And i think it is suspicious that many people complain that they overlook cancellation questions (when they have waited many weeks for shipping) but respond right away when the package is shipped. Really convenient.

Before you read: I am posting this because i want to help Amigakit too see they are on the wrong path.

Come on Amigakit! What have happen to you guys? Dont be the bad guys. People are starting to react over your bad behavior lately. Have some evil aliens taken over your bodies or something?

From the "Commodore Amiga" group on facebook today:

AmigaPassion
I have been made aware that AmigaKit.com (4 months after we registered amigapassion.co.uk) registered the domain name amigapassion.com, this is perfectly legal, but the issue is, is that it does in fact redirect to Amigakit.com which may not be legal (seeking legal advise), it may have been a simple oversight from AmigaKit and I would be happy discuss.
I have reached out to Matthew Leaman (tagged him to get his attention) to remedy this as I have said to Matthew in the message we should be supporting the community together.
So for clarification amigapassion.co.uk is our primary and only domain and have ZERO affiliation with AmigaKit.com.
AmigaPassion Ltd is a company registered England and Wales (Company No. 12204824)
Thanks!!
-----------------
I have kept my peace and never said a word.. but when we started creating replacement cases (initially for the A1200) and keycaps for the Amiga under the name of A1200 and registered A1200.net, we supplied AmigaKit as well. We listed AmigaKit as partner and expected them to list us as a supplier. They haven’t for reasons unknown to us then, but when Matthew asked for custom design packaging we tried to accompany those wishes even though one was dragging feet. When we got confronted with AmigaKit registering. A1200 trademark in the classes that applied to our product, we obviously could not “appreciate” it...
This here.. well.. not surprised at all.
-----------------
They have been trademarking shit recently too. I really have no time for them. They called me names for pointing out that it is unlawful in the UK to list and sell items as in stock when they aren't. I wouldn't ever use them again and always tell people to steer clear. Doing shit like this just strengthens my point.
-----------------
Oh I know this one alright! they are currently sitting on my £50.00 and I have tried and tried and tried to get this sorted! it has been two years now!
-----------------
This is certainly a good way to make them not used in future. Bad taste.
-----------------
Legal or not, the end result is incredibly shady, reflecting very poorly on AmigaKit and will be a factor to consider when making my next purchase.
-----------------
Maybe AmigaKit should spend less time registering looky-likey domains and more on shipping items people have paid for. I’ve seen many stories here of people having to wait for ages, without any communication either.
-----------------
It's because they sell items as in stock when they have none. They did it to me and stated that in the final sales invoice it states with a red asterisk that the item is out of stock. Even though at all times the item is stated as in stock. They made it look like I made the mistake...
-----------------
Amigakit really are the worst. Literally, any other Amiga store is better.
-----------------
in my opinion, this kinda adds the icing to the s*it cake that is amigaKit. I ordered a few things from them in the past and its always such a long wait. Only when you publically ask them where the order is do they then respond. This move is bascially a d*ck move -> and shows their mentality. Yes its their domain now and they can do what they like - but the Amiga now adays is about community. this is specifically designed to take business away from Amiga Passion. Remember this the next time you think about ordering from them.
-----------------
AmigaPassion has been trading since 2018 well before Amigakit registered the .com domain. Matthew even emailed me 2 months before registering the .com asking about the business. There is a little ore history here than your aware off
