Just so things are clear: I believe Loloc is the owner of DirectFromJapan.net. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Cagilaba, You get that from his grammar?
My Grammar sucks, Doesn;t mean I own a company  (Although I do. . ) Wait a second. . .Maybe you're onto something! Has anyone ever seen what ol' PuppetMaster Gatesy's grammar is like? |

QUOTE(Ferret-Simpson @ Jan 11 2006, 07:08 PM) Cagilaba, You get that from his grammar? Errr... no, it doesn't have anything to do with his grammar. Loloc (Loic Acher) participates actively in French PDA forums. Just do a search for loloc directfromjapan in Google. I have bought from him but got the impression that it was a pretty small-time operation (i.e. one person). So I was slightly worried about how warranty support would work out... luckily I haven't had to deal with that yet! I think full disclosure is kind of important in a forum like this -- if you're advertising your business, make it clear who you are and don't post as if you've just "discovered" a wonderful new supplier.

I just bought a Zaurus from them yesterday. I've send 3 e-mails already, none answered. I guess "quick" answer is a bit faster than that. I will write my experience if/when I get the pda.
<edit> I've just received mail that my order will be shipped in 24/48 hours. Kind regards, Raul |

It's been more than 72h and I don't have any answer to e-mail. I don't know if my Zaurus was shipped or not. It's not really nice. You don't usually buy something for more than 600$ and want to ask yourself if it's send to you or not.

Cagilaba,
If it is true, good work in clarifying loloc's role with this company. Raul, good luck. I hope that this is legit. I don't think any business should be added to the wiki until many people have used it with decent reliability. shirtpocket is an example that even established companies can go bad. |

I'm not saying it's not legit. I'm just worried.

I wouldn't panic just yet. When I bought mine from pricejapan there was a "transaction complete" sort of notification.... then a wait of a few days. Wondering where your Z is can drive you nuts, but it doesn't mean the transaction is bad.
