Anyone Used Conics.net?

[fry]

I bought a C1K from Conics too, in March 2005.
Paid w PayPal and there was no problem - the initial price estimation was very close.

  I preferred to go with Conics for two reasons mainly:
1. it was well 'reviewed' in these forums.
2. considering what I got, it seemed like a good balance between price and choice of accessories: the USB host cable and the PSP power adapter (110-240V)

  The service was excellent, the website was clear enough for me and the email was very prompt considering the time zone difference.
It took less than a week from Japan to US, but I had to wait a day because of the post office...

  Brett did the english conversion and that was all I needed to get started the first day - other than recharging the battery of course. I just didn't want to wait to read any more, do the conversion myself etc. Plenty of time for that after the initial excitement.  
It is my first Z after all...


microsoft/linux,

personally I chose them over Streamline (in addition to the reasons above) for the fact that C1Ks were not in stock at the time (pre-order) and I knew Brett had a history in these forums - no offense meant to the Streamline guys. I also looked a lot at conics.net when I was trying to decide if I wanted to buy one or not.  


  Overall, I was very satisfied with the service and I would recommend Conics without hesitation.

Hello

I also would like to give a little feedback on my experience with conics.net.

I live in Switzerland and ordered a C3000. For me the story went like this:

23. June: Order placed
24. June: Quote received, sent money 1 minute later ;-)
--- Weekend ---
28. June: Message that parcels have been shipped
30. June: Power adapter arrives
1. July: C3000 arrives

Amazing! Two days from Japan to Switzerland which is almost half way around the globe. At the same time i ordered a game from Amazon Germany (Germany is a neighbour country of Switzerland) which took one week from shipping confirmation to my mailbox!

Also, the goods were very well wrapped. The cardboard box was quite worn-out from the transport but it was well closed with tape. Inside i found the original packaging of the unit, separated from the cardboard box by air chambers.

It's true that their website is not very streamlined but in the end i found all information (which is not true for some of the nicer looking websites out there).

I also liked that they don't have hundreds of products. This gave me the feeling that they really know about the Zaurii.

Well, i would certainly buy from them again. Gratulations Conics.

Greetings,

Rince

More feedback...

I live in the US (Las Vegas, NV).

* Fri 24 June: Filled out the quote/order form for a C3100 late my time. (PDT)
* Sat 25 June: Received the invoice early AM
* Sat 25 June: Sent payment.
* Sat 25 June: Received confirmation of payment and note that item would ship on Monday.
* Tue 28 June: Received shipment tracking number.
* Sat 1 July: Received Zaurus!

7 days from payment to receipt. Pretty impressive! the only "gotcha" if there is one, is that the price was slightly higher than the website ($20 more). Not trying to stir up trouble, but just a bit of "full disclosure"

The box arrived in great shape, the Zaurus works fine so far. I'd recommend them too...
