Do any of the emails say how the problems ended up being resolved? I agree with Kurt: No one I have found that has paid them via PayPal has been successfully trouble-free with Wegener.

I sent them my clamshell iBook to repair a torn cable, broken internal modem, and install a much larger harddrive. The computer arrived back to me safely within a week. I was quite pleased. Why don't you call them and ask what's going on? The two complaints I remember earlier about them on this list were both resolved. One occurred when he had the flu back at the beginning of the year. And I beleive the other complaint was caused because the mail system back to Europe (France?) was slow beyond belief. I personally have noticed that it takes much longer for me to get Portmeirion pottery shipments from England now (after 9/11) than it used to. I assume the delay has something to do with extra security and the postal system. Pick up the phone and call them.

Can anyone comment if this is usual? I have posted to a few newsgroups asking the same question, and the general reply is that the guy is a one man shop, and although he takes his time, he usually comes through, but one month on tomorrow, no reply to my emails and no goods gets me very concerned about the situation :( Thanks in advance, Andrew McCall. Hi Andrew, I bought a replacement CD/DVD ROM drive for my Pismo from this guy and ran into a few problems myself. The first one he sent me had a broken faceplate and it took a while to get it swapped for a good one. I also bought a power manager card from him and it took some prompting before the core charge refund got posted to my account. My impression is that he is a one or two man operation and is having some personal and personnel problems. Other than the delays, he was honest and provided resonable service. I would try sending another email asking for a status and explanation for the delays. Good luck, Joe Ellis -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Anyone (esp. in the UK) purchased goods from WegenerMedia??
Has anyone here, or in the UK had any dealings with wegenermedia.com? Andrew McCall. Andrew and others, I have had several transactions over the last five years with Dave as both a buyer and seller of goods. I have to say that all of my dealings with him have been quite pleasant and straight forward and that I have no doubt that you shall receive the goods that you have paid for. David is an honest business person and I would not hesitate to buy anything from him. If you did not ask for some form of express shipping then a months wait for an overseas shipment does not seem unusual to me. As others here have suggested you should try to ring him up and inquire as to the date that your package was shipped. -- Aloha, Ken Go the extra mile, it's never crowded. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Anyone (esp. in the UK) purchased goods from WegenerMedia??
Hi all Never bought anything from this firm. But I do tend to buy things from the states a lot as even with shipping you can save a lot off the UK prices. On the shipping side I tend to have to wait at least 10 days for the goods even with express. and around the three week limit is normal for most things. It depends if the seller has sent it surface post or air. I have waited for 7 weeks getting very upset and sending not so nice emails to the seller only to have to eat humble pie and say sorry! in the end because the postal stamp say's it was sent the day the seller stated. All I have herd about this seller is bad news so far but be optimistic And have patience, But not too much! At least you have a name and address. And even if they arrive broken you can get your money back as you will have a receipt . I lost a lot of money three months ago and I am still waiting for the powerbook I was told had been sent to arrive. Even The email address I had for the seller was bogus (NO BEFORE ANYBODY JUMPS ON THE WAGON WITH THE WRONG END OF THE STICK IT WAS NOT WEGNER MEDIA IT WAS SOMEONE WHO CONTACTED ME VIA EBAY) MORE FOOL ME.

http://www.paypalwarning.com http://www.paypalsucks.com PLENTY of people have had problems with them. I lost $4,500 a couple of years ago when they froze my account for suspicious activity. They refused to tell me what this activity was! After jumping through many flaming hoops with them and finally having my lawyer fire off a nasty letter to them, they wrote me via USPS saying that I can no longer use PayPal's services, and that my account has been closed. And of course, my money had mysteriously disappeared. I've been fighting these bastards for the past 2 years to no avail. Because they aren't regulated like other financial services, they can get away with picking the occasional account and fleecing the balance from it, then act like they had nothing to do with it. I'm now considering a six figure lawsuit against them. Just because it hasn't happened to you or someone you know doesn't mean it has never happened. There are plenty of stories like mine, some MUCH worse (such as the guy whose $60,000 balance suddenly disappeared into thin air when some jerk he did business with decided that the $10 CD he bought sucked and reported it as fraud to Paypal.$60,000). Paypal uses chargeback attempts as an excuse to RIP YOU OFF. ANd I've got plently of emails from other victims (a lot of them business owners like myself) as evidence. Tread lightly...

Re: Anyone (esp. in the UK) purchased goods from WegenerMedia??
From reading the web site, I believe Wegener Media is David and his brother, and they travel a lot. I've dealt with him now and then for some ten years, since the days when all the Mac trading happened on the AOL bulletin board - which was also where Small Dog got its start, as I recall. David seems to mean well, but is one of those types who operate only in forward gear, has a hard time going back to fix a deal that's gone bad. Post sale corrections are a drag for a small operation - I know how I hate to have to go back to fix a problem with a job, rather than getting on to the next (paying) one - but that's no excuse. About a year ago I got a modem from him that turned out to be the wrong type (his error), and it was a real hassle to get the right one, then a very late refund that he owed me. In the end, it was far more hassle than it was worth. BTW, I thought David was a subscriber to this list? I know he's on one of the LEM lists. Maybe he's on vacation. As for PayPal, I've had problems with them as well, which resulted in my account being frozen for a year, as I wasn't going to knuckle under to their extortion. In any controversy, they interpret the evidence in their favor, i.e. to confiscate and keep your money. (Why does a dog lick itself? Because it can.) I'd suggest: (1) DON'T ever keep more than a minimal account balance with them, cause you could lose it anytime; immediately transfer funds from your PayPal account to your bank account if you make a big sale. (2) But DON'T give PayPal access to your bank account; you can link the PayPal account to the bank account one-way, to transfer funds from the former to the latter, without allowing PayPal to tap the bank account.
