Has anyone ever had a deal with these guys ive been working a deal with them for some MVS games and they told me they had to order them in so that would take about a week that was on Jan.13 then 2 weeks later i called them and they told me all the games were in but 1 game and they would ship as soon as they get that game. Today I called again and they say now that the last game just came in so they are sending it out right away , I feel as if im getting the run around so I wanted to see if anyone elce has had any dealing with this company.

I went to their website once and emailed them about products (since that's how you would have to order from them) after no reply I searched on ebay for what I was looking for and I happened to stumble on their ebay auctions. I ordered a garou from them via ebay and had no problem, I don't know how you ordered from them (phone or email?). But from my experience they didn't give me problems.

Meh....dealt with them twice...the second time unfolding into a mess of messes. Won't deal with them again. Overpriced and not knowledgeable.

I emailed them trying to hunt down a rev.2 Hyper board...after 3 BAZILLION emails including photos, etc...of what I needed he assured me it was in fact a rev. 2 he had and so I paid him....only to get a $100 rev.1 used board in awful shape. He was cool though and took it back...so they are trust-worthy in that respect. Just more of a pain than I care to deal with. Coinopexpress and Cosmicco do me just fine.

I've dealt with them a couple times, been to their local store too. Their service is slow if you want something special ordered. I prefer Coin Op Express, but if I need something asap I buy from them. They are only 10 mintues away from me.

Nearly every MVS game I bought from them (>10) was a boot. That was about 2-3 years ago though, so they may be better now.

If anybody gets a reply from them, could you post that they replied, in this topic?

I've tried e-mailing them, but they don't answer....

I never got a response to emails. Only got a response from:

A.) asking a question through one of their Ebay auctions. [not even about the item, just using it as an email I know they'd be forced to check]

B.) calling them

Cool, thanks for the update.

When you get them, and IF they are not boots, would you order something from them for me?

I'd pay for the shipping both ways. :)

I actually bought my 1F neo board and Magical Drop 2 from them (on ebay) and had absolutely no prolblems with them. (I was ready to KILL UPS, though when I found out that they had dropped it off NEXT DOOR!)

Those guys have definitely a serious communication problem...

I managed to win on eBay a couple of CPS2 from them for a total of $350 value...

I felt confident considering their perfect feedbacks... :buttrock:

I stressed them with the need of shipping with EMS to have a tracking number and to be able to track my package online, since i live in Italy and i had some previous bad experience with USPS...

Guess what? They quoted me a price for an EMS shipment to Italy, which i promptly paid... after a couple of days, they suddenly informed me that they have shipped my 2 boards' package, BUT with regular airmail and NOT EMS because they miscalculated the shipping cost...

Instead of contacting me and asking me if i would cover the shipping difference (i would have done that without problems), they decided that my $350+ merchandise could be shipped with regular airmail... :annoyed:

I don't feel confortable at all having a package of such value flying over the atlantic without a tracking number... now i just can hope that everything will go smooth and i'll be able to receive my package...

I'm definitely disappointed with this kind of unprofessional behaviour... :mad:

Won't deal with them in the future, even though everyhting will turn out to be o.k... :oh_no:

When I owned a SUPERNOVA I used to deal almost exclusively with them, I didn't mind the slow turn around time of like a month at times... but then they screwed me on an order for the Super Contra PCB they stated they had "In Stock", and I ended up so jaded from the experience I said "FUCK IT" and sold off my PCBs and SuperNova and left that part of gaming alone.

If you want to, give them a try, otherwise I'd say deal with Coinopexpress.com, never had a problem with them.

I purchased an mvs waku waku 7 off them before, the label wasn't original, but the cart was ok, and I didn't have much problem at all.

Now, I purchased a Mr Driller G jamma board. I didn't come for a couple of days so I gave them a call, they said it had been damaged. [As in someone sat something heavy on it] And they had to reorder it. After a few more days, stuill nothing, so called, still ordering. But they sent me a mr driller 2 jus til they got in the "g".

I probably won't deal with them again unless they have something I can't get anywhere else.

!!!UPDATE!!!

Package received this morning...

Everything went smooth...

Still a bit disappointed for the 'shipment misunderstanding' but i was contacted by the company manager, who said he was sick and, unfortunately, couldn't 'supervisioned' the order and let one of his 'collaborators' handle the shipment... :annoyed:

Got the package everything was good , and everything tested perfectly. Will most likely deal with them again but now I know what the wait time will be like so will for sure buy from other componys first that i know and trust and only use them if i can get something throw my normal places.

So you didn't order from them?

They replied to an e-mail I sent to them some time ago, if you haven't ordered, I'll order from them myself then. :)

I dealt with them a few times in 00-01 they were fine back then. Great to deal with actually.

I contacted them last year on a few cars I was looking for and didnt hear back in almost 2 months. By that time I had already found what I was looking for. They offered the cart I was looking for, but it was a boot. An expensive boot.

Funny thing was. After I declined, they emailed me back again several months later asking if I had found the game I was looking for. Basically the same email I got a few months earlier.

I guess they check their emails quarterly.

I've had them sell me damaged goods before. After I contacted them, they said that I had damaged it. After that, it just blew up ino mess upon mess upon mess.

Thanks for the advice guys. I don't think I will be doing business with them anytime soon. Someone should email them this link. :kekeke:
