Paul_s · 25 November 2006, 16:27

Agree - great site. I just wish they had more Scan doublers to sell

Would love one for my A500.

Anybody here having trouble getting on to the Amigakit site?.There are still a load of things i want from there and i'm getting slightly paranoid that it's stopped trading or something.

keropi · 01 December 2006, 00:04

they had some isp probs, amigakit is online now...

Adropac2 · 01 December 2006, 04:13

Right o , cheers

Photon · 07 December 2006, 13:36

I must be unlucky

e-mailed an order, this is the third day with no reply or someone at the phone. Like, hello, anyone there?

Edit: I hesitated to use the voicemail. Well apparently that's the best way, left a message and less than an hour later I got an e-mail response! No problemo

Adropac2 · 07 December 2006, 20:09

I'm back into using real Amigas again (still love Winuaex) and have bought a ton of stuff from here.Iv'e been stung on a number of occasions in the past (going back a little bit mind)with getting computer bits and so it's fantastic that such a reliable and fast service exists like Amigakit.

While i'm here , can anyone here recommend what voltage PSU i need for powering a hardrive and dvd drive for my standard Amiga (not tower) , as there seem to be lots of options on Amigakit.Drives are just pc ones.My current solution is just plain daft as i am using my xbox to power them and it's not very neat.

The service you get from amigakit.com is top notch.

I ordered my Catweasel Mk.IV from them at 2 o'clock on a Friday afternoon, it dropped through my letterbox the next morning!

musashi5150 · 03 May 2007, 20:31

Yep, you can't fault the delivery speed. I ordered some 3.1 Roms from there and they turned up pretty fast. And so did the CatWeasel Mk4 that I ordered this week.

So far though I've been less than impressed with the support service - I wait to stand corrected though as I've heard good things about them from others.

tootoid · 04 May 2007, 11:19

AmigaKit is cool, ordered lots o' gear off them. Had an FPU and an A1200 cover arrive this morning in fact (ordered late on Wednesday).

One of the most, if not THE most important company around as far as the Amiga goes in my opinion, way more important than Amiga Inc. or Hyperion or anyone like that.

twizzle · 04 May 2007, 18:03

i went to see mathew at amigakit a few weeks ago,
and if you saw the amount o`ve amiga gear that he has got to sort out, plus orders to post and emails to answer plus repairs plus developing his software etc etc.
i am surprised that he manages to get home at night.

so if your waiting for a reply, you will get one

BinoX · 18 June 2007, 22:41

It's been said before, but I'll say it again anyway...

amigakit.com is great! They always have what you want and deal with special orders quickly and efficiently.

I have just paid for a nice micronik ZIII busboard (which I got a discount on due to a small bit of damage to one slot (which is still functional)), some kickstart ROMs and a couple of other little bits.

A pleasant transcation and I'll keep going back again and again to get parts for all my amiga needs

I will be putting up big linking banners when I get my amiga site up within the next week

Dealing with Amigakit.com is like making love to a beautiful woman

cosmiq · 19 June 2007, 11:37

Dude.. i hope you don't masturbate while calling. That's so evil.

.. and you don't know anything about either subject!

Nah, just joking.. I have a friend who often recites that phrase when he's drunk, and I couldn't resist. :-)

Yeh, this has happened to me a few times - even when I've gone out of my way to make sure any 'duties' (gov't sanctioned robbery) have been paid.
Complain?
'You want it? Cough up or it goes in the bin! Har, har, har...'

It's not even consistent.

I'd love a late model x68000.

I once found an English version of the OS too (I forget which one). Stupidly I deleted it when making room on a HDD & haven't found it again.

Back on topic:
amigakit..?
Nothing but praise for their products & service. Given how endangered such Amiga-centric companies are (esp the good ones) I almost wish I have more reason to buy from, & so support, them.

Looks like he doesn't really need to sell Amiga stuff if he didn't want to... so I for one am happy he finds time to run amigakit

For me, a long wait for an email reply made me have to only place half an order (the stuff that was in stock in the webshop). So I must now wait again to be able to order the rest (ran out of stock).

Seems a nice guy and ships the stuff nicely packed, guess he just doesn't have enough time to handle order peaks. If he's just one person it's even more awesome he can work full time and sell Amiga stuff as well!

chiark · 29 January 2008, 10:59

Is everything ok with AmigaKit?

I ordered things in stock on 24th, paid immediately and... have heard nothing. I know it's only 29th, but I dropped them an email: nothing. I've tried phoning and just get "please try later".

I'm pretty desperate for the power supply converter cable, and just want to know that they're alive and kicking. I'm sure they are given that Amiga Future 70 only went up on their site recently...

Although the website does say up to seven days delivery

chiark · 29 January 2008, 11:47

Yes, agreed - however I'd have thought that stuff in stock would have gone from "pending" to "being picked" or "allocated" given that it's all in stock and paid for.

I know I'm being impatient, but I want to put a new PSU in my dead 4000 to see what's wrong with it

alexh · 29 January 2008, 12:45

I ordered something on Sunday 27th and I got 4 emails Monday 28th

16:22 New status: Being Picked
16:33 New status: Awaiting Despatch
16:34 New status: Allocated
23:52 New status: Delivered

Cant get better service than that.

Lets see how long it takes to get here.
