Hehehehe ... vesalia is a great company. When you got problems, you can call the owner of the shop directly. He´s very friendly and knows a lot about the good old times of amiga. I never had problems with vesalia in fact. This is just trolling for me.

Hell, I just ordered (and recieved) the very thing I complained about in the OP and I have to say they're a pretty good company.

Sorry, there ARE cheaper ways to ship stuff out. It's just that most places charge hidden "handling" costs and shit like that.

FWIW, I recently bought a Speedlink Competition Pro USB and was amazed how fast I got it and the cost of shipping was very reasonable too.

I ordered a SCSI to IDE adapter from Vesalia a month or two ago. The order was processed after 4 days or so, and arrived from them to Sweden in two weeks. I threw away the manual sheet, as it differed from the jumpers that were on my card. But it works fine in my A500 and I'm okay with the slightly delayed arrival.
It's probably a small company run in the spare time by someone who still cares about Amiga. Keep that in mind - I certainly could not sell custom PCBs for legacy platforms for 50€ fulltime, that's for sure! Non-delivery or delivery of faulty products is another matter ofc. But I'm sure if you contact them, they'll make good. Certainly, $13 for airmail across the sea is no cause for concern. I have a hard time even buying used computers from uk and get them to send them across the north sea at all! Misers. ![]() |

Most of the time things have gone well with Vesalia for me. I was just keen to get hold of that ACard and ranted when there was some trouble paying & getting it. We must have the right to rant when we feel disappointed

Vesalia is the best AmigaShop for me. I buy from them since 1999 when I purchased my first A1200. I bought it without HD, but they forgat the IDE cable inside, so I was happy that I don't have to buy or built one by myself. Later I bought off Vesalia many CDs, games, Magazines, Books, T-Shirts, Computers (microA1), boards (Blizzard Vision, IDEFix), even stuff for my Amiga friends, because I was knowing how to do it. Vesalia always answers my questions (Especially when I call them
![]() Another customers of them said they used to have a big storage facility where they used to stock hundreds of broken CD32. The facility was so big, that they can bury even a truck under the CD32s ![]() I made big turnover to Vesalia over the years and will continue to do so. If someone experienced troubles with Vesalia, this is probably a single accident. |

I've got high hopes for them, for sure
![]() I ordered on 5th May, everything is in stock, and it's still awaiting dispatch. I did ask to add CyberGrafx 4 to my order, but changed my mind and don't want it yet... I just want the stuff I've ordered and already paid for! |

They didn't get back to me about whether their Sixth Sense Investigations CD was German only or a German/English combination. I'm just glad a fellow EABer helped me out in the end...

Hello 2009, I am Amijim from Greece and I feel like I want to say thank you to Vesalia for their effort. I have been buying from Vesalia since 1998 and just yesterday morning on 1 August 2022 I I received successfully another multiple items order. The Mr behind Vesalia responded promptly to me emails and his New old Stock products are nowhere else to find. Specifically I bought a VECTOR midi interface and a TS midi interface along other small bits. Of course I also buy from sordan the os 3,2,1 which vesalia does not stock, from amigastore, from Amiga kit, I even got the last ever Gentle eye order with super rare CD game title at low price and other smaller retro shops, my point is that the nature of these shops are of a low budget prices run by individuals or small teams. Regarding Vesalia, the old Mister prints the package list in dot matrix printer so I give him a break, my money and a big thank you for his loyalty to our hobby, I bet Amiga is his hobby as well.
