Title: Has anyone been in contact with amigamaniac recently?
Post by: Tupin on September 03, 2011, 06:34:47 PM
I ordered something from him recently and have been trying to contact him via email, but I've gotten nothing. Others have posted on his forum being in a similar situation. Anybody know what's going on?

Hmm, I recently did the same.  A month or two ago, I ordered something, and he took a while to respond/mail it to me, but said that he had been very sick.  I hope that everything is ok with him because he has a good reputation and I think that something might be wrong for him to not be responding :(

He said he was sick when he emailed me as well. I hope he's okay, and that our items arrive.

Sometimes he does not answer for a long time, but he is a 100% reliable seller for sure.

Just curious, has anyone gotten something in the mail from him recently? Something appears to have gone amiss.

I had a mail conversation with him yesterday and i ended up ordering some stuff from him. Got an email respons right after that he would ship my package today so he is very much alive.

Have ordered and received stuff from him, he takes awhile to respond/send. Well worth the wait :-)
Title: Re: Has anyone been in contact with amigamaniac recently?
Post by: Tupin on September 07, 2011, 02:56:50 AM
Well, I paid him on August 7th, and haven't been able to get an email back from him since the 23rd, when he said it would be shipped by the end of last week. I'm concerned with what's going on in several different ways.

I know that he is snowed under (i have sent him my A4000 and A1200 boards to revamp and repair) and ordered some stuff from him. I just take a little time since he is so busy.

Anyone gotten an RGB adapter recently? I've heard others who ordered them haven't heard anything either...

Hi everyone. I chatted with Nathan (AmigaManiac) last night and he is very sorry for all the delays. He has indeed been going through some personal problems lately but he assures me he is definitely going to finish all the orders and repairs and will email each person back as he gets the work done.

So never fear, I just hope everyone can wait a little bit longer for their stuff, because it will come!
Title: Re: Has anyone been in contact with amigamaniac recently?
Post by: Tupin on September 09, 2011, 01:24:21 AM
I don't mind the wait, I just wanted to make sure he was still around.
Title: Re: Has anyone been in contact with amigamaniac recently?
Post by: 1time on September 11, 2011, 08:34:39 AM
Hope he will be back soon!
Title: Re: Has anyone been in contact with amigamaniac recently?
Post by: Tupin on September 12, 2011, 01:31:17 PM
Me too, I haven't gotten an email from him in a long while.
Title: Re: Has anyone been in contact with amigamaniac recently?
Post by: tasmanian guy on September 12, 2011, 03:23:18 PM
He has been always been a bit slow in doing stuff
 
eg placed order on 4/10/2010, item was finally posted 17/11/2011.
 
To get an RGB adaptor replaced, emailed 19/4/2011, got a reply 7/5/2011, still waiting on the replacement, some 4 months later, last email 23/8/2011 saying "I will get a replacement".
 
Just have to be patient with the guy....though I am up for sainthood ;-)

Was surprised with the dates and then realized you were using dd/mm/yyyy, not mm/dd/yyyy.

August 23rd was the last contact I had with him as well. Strange.

Figured that was a typo...

Either way, hopefully he gets back to us soon.
Title: Re: Has anyone been in contact with amigamaniac recently?
Post by: Tupin on September 17, 2011, 11:03:19 PM
I checked another one of my email addresses and noticed Nathan sent out a message to everyone that ordered from him. I read his explanation and hope he feels better soon. He said all items would be shipped by the 16th, which was yesterday.
Title: Re: Has anyone been in contact with amigamaniac recently?
Post by: Tupin on September 20, 2011, 01:44:09 AM
Anyone get an email?
Title: Re: Has anyone been in contact with amigamaniac recently?

Yep he emailed me as well :)  Awaiting my cf adapter for my a1200!
Title: Re: Has anyone been in contact with amigamaniac recently?
Post by: Tupin on September 20, 2011, 01:04:01 PM
Oh, you got an email recently saying he shipped it? I've gotten nothing since the 8th.
Title: Re: Has anyone been in contact with amigamaniac recently?
Post by: Tupin on September 21, 2011, 01:28:08 AM
I do hope he is okay, though.

I really want to get my 4000 up and running soon, can't wait for it finally to arrive.
Title: Re: Has anyone been in contact with amigamaniac recently?
Post by: Tupin on September 22, 2011, 02:05:23 AM
Another update from another recent email that I checked. Nathan is trying to ship everything out this week, he's had some difficulty.
Title: Re: Has anyone been in contact with amigamaniac recently?

Did he send you an email saying he was sending it out? He said he was getting stuff sent out, but hasn't sent me anything yet.
Title: Re: Has anyone been in contact with amigamaniac recently?
Post by: esc on September 25, 2011, 11:40:56 PM
Yeah, he emailed me before I got it.  I'd email him if I were you and follow up again.

A tad harsh. When the guy seems to have a good history and has said he is sick at the moment which is delaying shipping. Not to mention the posts above your's where he has started contacting people.
Title: Re: Has anyone been in contact with amigamaniac recently?
Post by: Tupin on September 27, 2011, 01:58:38 AM
Yeah, it sounds like he's having some problems. Has anyone gotten an RGB adapter from him? I still have nothing, he did say that he would send it out last week...
Title: Re: Has anyone been in contact with amigamaniac recently?

I hope everyone gets their hardware soon. Please remember that shipping from Australia usually takes longer than from just about anywhere else in the world.
Title: Re: Has anyone been in contact with amigamaniac recently?
Post by: Tupin on September 27, 2011, 04:40:34 AM
Yeah, but I have not gotten a confirmation. I hope he just forgot to send an email...
Title: Re: Has anyone been in contact with amigamaniac recently?
Post by: Lurch on September 27, 2011, 05:23:21 AM
Wouldn't stress, he's not a scammer. Just one person doing this part time and atm is sick:-)

I eventually got my items, so hang in there :-)
Title: Re: Has anyone been in contact with amigamaniac recently?
Post by: Tupin on September 28, 2011, 10:33:06 PM
I'm guessing I should get it soon because he said he would send it last week?
Title: Re: Has anyone been in contact with amigamaniac recently?
Post by: Tupin on September 30, 2011, 10:01:05 PM
Nothing yet. I wonder if it has even been sent, as I still haven't gotten an email.

I got this about 10 days after my email.  Poland shipping seems to be slowest....It's been a month with no tracking updates for a Polish mail package :(

At this point, I'm wondering what is going on. Nathan has not been answering my emails, and I have not gotten one from him in a while. I sent the money almost two months ago, the amount of waiting I've had to do is ridiculous.

Where is he and why is he not answering my attempts to contact him? Has anyone else tried to email him recently?

Maybe he's getting annoyed with you. I know I am. You've made 23 posts about this in less than 1 month.

How long does something shipped from Australia take to get to the USA?

Going the other way (USA to Aus) I've had it vary between 2 weeks to 2 months.

I've shipped a couple of books and other items to and from Hong Kong. It's taken about a month.

Same here. Ordered over two (or 3? not sure) months ago. Apparently he's very busy, which I am fine with. I have emailed him twice though in the last couple of weeks and gotten no reply - any update would be appreciated.
