Analogic UK trying to buy a cd32
« on: February 27, 2010, 08:46:28 AM »
Hi,
 
Has anyone had any experience from this company.
 
I filled out the form and ordered an Amiga CD32 and have not heard anything from this company in regards to the order being sent, nor have they replied to my emails.
 
It has been almost a week or so now and would like to know anyone else's experiences.
 
Cheers!

Hi,

Have you spoken to the sales department by phone?

I only spoke to them last week regarding Ram expansion

No, I haven't (I'm in Australia), but I went through and got a confirmation email from them that I had purchased the item, but have not heard anything since, the payment has not been deducted from my credit card and my email has not been replied to.

Hey :) just wondering why you didn't buy one of the ones off of ebay? They are NOS (new old stock) from the philipines factory (now sold from china) as far as I know.

I have been warned off the ones from China as they're only NTSC and Australia is PAL and believe there are problems trying to play PAL games (the majority) on a NTSC system.  Unless this is not the case???

I had heard a while back about people having issues with their orders being delivered. I'd phone them and then failing that contact your credit card company.

Oh yes, quite a bit.

Tried ordering an 030 accelerator for a CD32 from them way back when. All they ever did was string me along "Oh, well it didn't come in this week, maybe next". I spoke to the woman as well as someone claiming to be the  manager. In the end I gave them up as a bad lot. My experience with them was not unique. This went on over the course of several months.

Honestly I thought they would have done the decent thing and crawled back into whatever hole they came from. Seems they're still stringing folk along regarding stock they have never had and never will have.

Seriously folks - avoid them and get your stuff elsewhere. You'll save yourself a whole lot of time and frustration.
Blessed Be,

This is surprising, as I bought a NOS A1200 from Analogic last year and they were very professional. I always remember them being very good back in the day too. Perhaps their service is inconsistent and I just got lucky :(

Well they look to have amigakit beat on price there. A nos 1200 from amigakit is about £179.20 with mouse, software.  analogic? £115.00. Both with postage.:hammer:

So really, throw a dice, save money, or get nothing.

There haven't been any NTSC CD32s from China on eBay for a little while now. I do regular searches on eBay for Amiga and CD32 stuff and it looks like someone bought up every remaining unit in a short time. :(

I sent them an A1200 MB for repair, it came back with the same faults and the securing screws missing. Gave the women my postcode so they could arrange the pickup and they sent the courier to North Yorkshire. My brother sent them his A4000T and that came back faulty and with the tower case damaged in transit.

Blimey... Thinking about it, is it Analogic who failed to return a lot of stuff they had sent in for repairs and it turned out they operated from a shed in some bloke's garden?

Maybe that's where they get the stuff they have for sale. It "goes missing".
