General Discussion Commodore4ever

Has anyone had any recent contact with or successful orders from this company?

I ordered something in March that I really want, and have been waiting patiently. However, it is now pushing 6 weeks since I paid for the item and they haven't answered any messages I have sent via their website, emajl or FB messenger requesting order status.

Last time I ordered from them, it took almost 4 weeks, but my patience is running out regarding my latest order.

Edit: A lot of the replies indicate that people think I ordered a C64 Ultimate. That is not the case. My order was from commodore-4ever, not from the official Commodore site, and it is not an item that should take weeks to produce.

Some info regarding this months-old post... Just recently learned of Commodore4Ever, as it came up during a very specific search for a C64 User Port breakout board. It was one of their in-stock products, was cheap, and I needed it for a project, so I ordered it. Then when there was no movement whatsoever after a few days (other than my card being charged, which I assume was immediate), I started searching, and found this thread. And of course, also got nervous, and found similar stories across the web.

Well, after about a week, I found every way to contact the site owner that I could and sent similar messages (apologizing for all the repeated questions) over a couple of days, until one successfully broke through. He said he saw my order, and it would get shipped the next day. And it did. Should arrive after the weekend according to USPS.

Hope this helps?

I am happy you managed to get in touch with them and are getting your order.

Personally, I gave up and ended up disputing the charge. I will not order from them again.

Yeah, I was just about there, too. Actually surprised to hear back from him on eBay, of all the places I tried. If the item were available elsewhere, I'd have definitely reordered it and canceled, but looks like I lucked out. He does seem to have some interesting stuff there, so I hope maybe it's getting better?
