Recently I sent an order to an outfit called DevWare – ordering some software they advertised in "AMIGA WORLD". Nothing has happened for two weeks. Sent them a FAX asking about my order – but no reply to that! Has anyone had dealings with DevWare ? If so… how did it go and what is your opinion of that outfit ?

It's been awhile (like at least a year) since I've ordered anything from them, but I had no problems in the past.

I recently ordered a program from DevWare also. Its been about two weeks but they did call me to verify some address information and said it would take about 10 business days to ship the order. I expect to recieve it this week… I'll let you know.

Hilary I recently received my order from DevWare when they promised. Hopefully your order will be ok. Ken Iversen

Same for me Hilary. I have ordered from them in the past without problem.

With the market as tight as it is, many distributors can no longer afford the risk of keeping product in stock, and they play games to satisfy customers that product will ship quickly, but as soon as they get an order, they'll pass it along to the developer, who might take a couple days to deliver it to them. I am NOT stating that this is the case with DevWare – but it is a common scenario at many places.

I have ordered from DevWare often, and always had fast, accurate service. I hope your experience is a fluke.
