Custom Cart service

[Lodmot]

Hi. I was wondering when I should expect my custom-made 2600 carts to come in.

This past Sunday, I ordered two carts that I wanted to be made the same way. The weird thing is, the site gives two completely different estimates for shipping the items.

 

On the custom cartridges page, it says:

"We will ship your completed cartridge within two business days upon receipt of your label and binary files."

 

But on the 'Shipping and Returns' page, it says this:

"Orders placed with AtariAge are generally shipped within one week of receipt of payment."

 

I guess the two statements are consistent with each other..

 

So I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else has ever tried the custom cart service and how long did it take for them to get their carts?

 

Thanks. ^^

It was a while ago but I think it took about two weeks to get mine, I live in Ohio.

Alright. Well, I'm still waiting for the two custom cartridges..

When I look in my account's order history, it doesn't list my cartridges as shipped, it still says the order is Pending...

 

I understand they do a professional job and they make their cartridges with care; that's fine..

But it's also kind of odd that it would take this long. I sent my binary file and labels the night I placed the order, and

it was stated on one of the pages that the cartridges would actually ship within two business days of receiving those pieces.

 

Honestly, with all due respect to AA, I'm a little annoyed...

It all depends on your timing. Albert has a full plate away from AtariAge and then has to make the carts and run everything else in his free time. If he is working on a big order from someone else then that could delay it also. I know it is hard to wait but it is worth it.

Okay.

 

I also understand that Boulder Dash is on the verge of being released, which could also cause a delay.

 

I'm sorry if I'm sounding selfish by the way.. It's just something I had to get off my chest. Nothing against AA or Albert.

My very bad memory seems to remember about two weeks as well. Give or take.

 

Albert is as good as it gets really. For ANY cart services for any system. It gets pretty tenative finding peeps or services to make carts. Heaven help us if he gets called in to make Deus Ex 4
