Not really a review, but has any one used icomp.de recently?
I've purchased an Indivision AGA MK3 for A4000/CD32 last Friday 26th August. Did not get any confirmation emails, tried to email them and no replies, tried registering on their online shop without success since I'm not getting any emails from them. Has anyone else experienced this with IComp? And if so have you been able to get your orders? Thank you Nuno |

I might be wrong but I think they were on holidays recently, it could have been during that period you placed an order. I would contact Jens and inquire.

got a Chameleon MK2 to replace my older MK1 as well as bagging the up to date P96 very recently, all was well, they kinda made things a bit weird/hard to get a replacement breakout cable for the MK1 which you cant just buy in the shop for some weird reason so just thought bollocks to it and got the MK2.
The shop for me at least takes ages to load, almost to the point where it seems like its not responding but it loads eventually, bought everything without issue, my only surprise for later was me remembering the UK had brexit, so we have to pay for good old import charges again, which stung me for an extra £49 payable to UPS. Got my stuff tho, zero actual issues with them so whatever issues you might be having i can only assume is temporary. |

I ordered something on Sunday and it arrived on Wednesday. I also received confirmation emails. Their holiday is already over, check the relevant news item on their site.
Their website is troublesome lately though (mainly very slow) and they're working on a replacement. Maybe check with Jens himself about your order status. |

Alinea and icomp are not responsible of the export taxes, we face the same when we import goods from UK shops.
For instance, in 2021 I bought an expansion for the equivalent of 120 euro on eBay and paid 35 euro for duty&custom (taxes are calculated on the cost of the item plus shipment). I learned that lesson for the future. Go for a UK shop or maybe try a US one, although the second has likely taxes too. Last edited by RoC; 09 February 2023 at 14:33. |

Ebay do it, if I was to buy from the EU, UK VAT would be added to the postage at the checkout and then an IOSS number added to the postage label so it passes through customs with an extra charge. This a very over-simplistic explanation but you get the idea. |

effin UPS charges a lot, I recently sent an old SBC as gift to a friend in EU, I used the UPS as the postage cost was low (£11) and the last time I had a really bad time with RM sending abroad, the guy had to pay 20 eur , JUST for the UPS 'customs/broker fees' - not that I had to print 4 A4s for the f documentation - incl a "commercial" invoice (wtf they ask commercial invoices from individuals?) . screw them all.

Actually IOSS if used properly (package also registered in IOSS system) is less costly as regular post + customs charges when arrived to country. By the way @RetroPassionUK I am trying to contact you regarding my Atari 1040 STe refurbished order since last year. Still waiting for answer or shipping please (more on mail and or direct message here). |
