First of all, thank you for the two Amiga 1200 computers, that were bought through Amigakit, 15 years ago. When that is written, I would like to take the opportunity to complain and make a suggestion, if that is allowed. The wait was four stinkin' months. Once the computers arrived they were half destroyed, but, that's not Amigakit's fault. Instead of the “made to order philosophy”, from my own experience, remembering how there were absolute zero updates in those four months - turn it around, only sell items that are >>available for immediate shipping<<. I think that is fair for everyone - or am I wrong?

There are many thoughts on why there is a lack of response and
here are some ideas to think about. Imagine how many people visit this site and
in this case, it is a computer that was bought last year. Seller wrote in and
some of the needs this person is in by now, is with the postal service not the store.

So, what can one do? It's never easy, one would say, could buyer get another board and
in this case he just wants a refund. That's alright, but you also have to remember
that it is out of their hands by now. The postal service that delivered the package must
expedite their investigation.

Soon buyer will get the refund, it just has to be processed correctly and maybe
unknown to buyer, in the end, by not private pm'ing the store directly, there has been
corrosive damage done to the image of this site. I understand is the buyer wants to
kick the postal service for their poor service. In the end one must just have more
solid patience to pull through this one. Stay safe out there! Thanks for everything you do!

That is a really good question, how long does it take to make a board?
How many components?
Each has to be placed on the board...
Yes, it is manual labor, however, "many hours?"

Agreed, I am not a professional, I have done boards before, it was zip, zap, done.
Roll out some flux and bake, boom!
Each board takes, how long?

From the customer's point of view, some insigt would be nice.
Unknown to us is the hard labor behind all the work you do.
Let's say, 2 hours to make a board, well, that's 8 boards per worker a day.
Lastly, do you have the proper equipment to make these boards?

Originally I thought, a few hours, the most.
For the record, I am not a pro.

So in the end, how labor intense is this?
How are you testing the the boards, x-ray?
In any case, it is not an easy job.
Truth be told, I just don't know enough about it.
