Mike K in central PA I think perhaps it is not the same as a mastercard itself. Maybe it varies with the bank. My bank indicated that if I got a product, even if dead/disabled, I had no claim thru MCard with my debit. If I got no box at all, then I had a claim. Fraud I think is different issue than I got a dead/broken/no product. I really had no gripe, was just checking once out of curiosity, so I had no reason to push and see what gave :) Anyway still be aware that going with a debit card, even with a mastercard logo, won't be as easy as using a regular mastercard if you have a problem, perhaps depending on your bank :) Better? :) thanks for the info-- -B -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Wegener Media
And, as far as relevant questions: What can anyone tell me about Wegener Media and the service they provide? I purchased a used Lombard from them a couple of years ago. It arrived with some non-working keys on the keyboard. I exchanged it for another keyboard which also had non-working keys. The third time they got it right, but each exchange took at least a month. I had to conclude that either they were incredibly slipshod (how hard is it to check out a keyboard?) or they knowingly sent me defective merchandise and were hoping I wouldn't keep after them to correct the problem.

It seemed a remarkably sloppy-run business. I feel that they I was cheated. Don Pruitt I was ripped off also. A few years ago I bought a PB 3400 from them. The keyboard was very hard to type on so I called them and talked to a guy who worked there. He said that did not sound normal and I should sent it back to them. I sent it to them but apparently did not do a good job of packing it because the screen got cracked. The owner called to tell me about that and said it would cost $200.00 to fix the screen which is what I paid for it to begin with. He also said the problem with the keyboard was normal so it turned out there was no need to send it to them to begin with. I had paid for insurance on it when I sent it to them but the post office said the company had to file the claim. Instead of getting the screen fixed I bought a Wallstreet for quite a bit more money figuring I could recover part of the cost from the insurance claim. The Wallstreet came and worked fine, but although they promised several times to file the insurance claim and to return the PB 3400 so I could use it with a monitor attached they never did either. Whenever I contacted them about the situation they said they were sure they did process the claim and had sent the powerbook back and would look into it and take care of it. I tried to deal with the post office myself later but by that time I had lost the receipt for the insurance and could not get the number from the receipt on the package from Wegener. That is where things stand. David Wegener used to belong to the swap list and offered things for sale there which is where I first found out about the company. He was eventually kicked off the list for being abusive to people who complained about his business practices, so I know I am not the only one with problems with him.

This question was asked a day ago...or so: And, as far as relevant questions: What can anyone tell me about Wegener Media and the service they provide? I ordered my Pismo G4/550 upgrade from them and waited for five days for an email notification of shipment. The only other communication I recieved was an emailed receipt of sale a couple of days after the purchase. I suppose you could say that they are minimalist in communication. They are very much unlike Daystar in this respect. However, the upgrade is working fine. I will know more about how well they take care of their customers as I wait for the 'core' cost rebate.

Re: Wegener Media WS processor upgrades
I had picked up an Allegro 500mhz from Wegener last year. It runs perfectly-what more can I say. I bought it to replace a BlueChip which had the dreaded installation error (had to return it to PowerLogix). Got a warranty BlueChip replacement, which ALSO had the same problem-very frustrating. I swore to never again get an upgrade with software installation requirements-just way too many problems, which led to my getting the Wegener card. From what I hear, many upgrade cards requiring software installation are a big problem. I dunno, but I'll never ever get one which requires software-I nearly lost my mind with the BlueChip issue. I've since traded out to a Pismo (got it for a song and passed my Wallstreet off a family member). I'd say (purely subjective comparison) the Wallstreet with the 500 is almost as fast as my Pismo--well worth the $, IMHO. I ran it on OS9, and it really was a dream. Haven't seen much of the 400mhz upgrade, but I'd be int'd to hear how that one does as well. Just got another Wallstreet 233/0cache that I'd like to upgrade as well. For the price, it seems like a bargain.

Re: Wegener Media WS processor upgrades
I bought a processor upgrade from Wegener Media which didn't work despite their absolute assurance. They finally admitted that it wouldn't work after I sent my Lombard to them. I got my Lombard back with a processor that had half my original memmory chips. They still have my memory and never compensated me for the loss nor will they communicate further.

OK, sorry to keep the thread going, but I have a little update, and I wanted to get something down in the archives so people just don't read the bad stuff and just so there is no confusion over my original thread - I wasn't slurring Wegner Media, I was just asking for opinions on them due to the lengthy delay of my order, and the emails I have sent but not had a reply to. I still haven't had my order, but Wegner Media seems to be an OK company from most of the responses on this list - albeit a little slow with deliveries, mainly due to only a small number of staff that work there. In addition to this since 9/11 overseas deliveries have been particularly slow. There is only one more thing I ask - I have tried to phone the company, and the number on their web site doesn't work for me (or the international operator) - the number I have been trying to dial from the UK is: 00 57 803 808 4362 I was just getting a dead tone from my mobile (which now allows overseas calls), and a pay phone. The int. operator also said that the number either didn't exist or their was a fault on the line/network. Can anyone verify that I am dialing the correct number from the UK? If possible, can anyone nearer, or in Columbia SC actually test the number for me? Thanks for all the advice so far - this is one thing that I love about the Mac community (and in fairness the Open Source Community too) - they are always willing to help!

I am in the middle of moving home right now (thats not the reason for the missing delivery though, as family members still live at the old address), so I have to sort this out using my works address while ADSL gets installed (in addition to waiting for my PowerLogix BlueChip G3 900MHz upgrade!) :( So I should be dialing 0018038084362 ? That would explain why I can't get through if so.

Re: Wegner Media (was Anyone (esp. in the UK) purchased goodsfrom Wegener Media??)
Not sure who the original poster was, but perhaps try looking in the phone book? Here in Australia it gives directions for calling out of the country in there... I also doubt there would be 3 zero's in the number, as that is the emergency number here (same as America's 911) My 2c... Wiebe.

Anyone (esp. in the UK) purchased goods from Wegener Media??
Hi, I was looking for a replacement CDRW/DVD-ROM Drive, some more memory and some replacement rubber feet for a Pismo laptop I bought from eBay. After searching the web and reading recommendations on this list I found everything I wanted could be bought at http://www.wegenermedia.com/ On the 20th May I ordered the parts and paid for the correct delivery to the UK and paid straight away via PayPal. The money has been debited from my credit card, by PayPal and I can see that in my PayPal account that its gone to wegnermedia.com. I received receipts via email and I was happy with the order. About 2 weeks ago I was starting to wonder where my delivery had got to, so I tried to contact them. I emailed [EMAIL PROTECTED] a detailed description of my order asking for an update. By Tuesday the 10th June I hadn't had a reply, so I sent another email that day. I still haven't had a reply, I am without the items I ordered and paid for. Has anyone here, or in the UK had any dealings with wegenermedia.com? 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. ** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Re: Anyone (esp. in the UK) purchased goods from Wegener Media??
First off, I apologize to Andrew for sending a blank reply to his personal mailbox. Secondly, I just did some research on this through my 9 months of email (yes 9 months, about 7000 emails) for just this list and you are not the first to complain about WegenerMedia. I agree with Kurt: No one I have found that has paid them via PayPal has been successfully trouble-free with Wegener. Personally I have not purchased from them before nor do I ever intend to but that's my opinion and personal choice. I know what it is like to work for small businesses (less than 5 employees). I just was laid off from such an operation and I did not have access to the paypal account. In fact, just the president of the company had access. Many times when he was out of town for a week I got calls from people who were irate that they hadn't received confirmation of their payment(s). It could be something just fundamental about the setup or something more serious. Because of problems like this, I buy insurance when making purchases from people or businesses I don't know. For everything else I have the debit card.

Has anyone here, or in the UK had any dealings with wegenermedia.com? Andrew McCall. I have nothing but nice things to say about my business dealings with David Wegener. Try calling on the phone.
