Ordered from them early this week, Monday or Tuesday. Very fast response, my order was complicated by the fact that an item was out of stock but we resolved a workaround inside of a few hours which ended up saving me money and got it shipped out fast. I don't have it yet, but the customer service was excellent as were the prices and the level of communication. In short, absolutely no complaints!

Tried an order about 4 months ago. Got it later than I was hoping since is sat in "electronic shipping info has been generated" limbo for 6 days. Once I got the order I was shorted a couple items and didn't even want to deal with it. I ended up just driving to happ to grab what I needed so that my project wasn't held up any longer.


good day.

I just placed a nice sized order last week - so far the communication has been great... although the e-mail with the tracking number got lost somewhere in the interwebz,

I will update once it all touches down.

You should probably wait until the transaction is completed before you post a review. Just sayin'.

Yup, My first thought. If you can't do something rudimentary, like counting to 10 and 16. I'll just cut my losses and move on.

I would just like to say my piece on arcadeemulator.

A couple of years back, I placed two orders with him.
One was a video card and the other was a trackball mount.
The videocard came quick enough but was packed like crap in a nilla wafers box with newspaper.
it worked, so whatever.
Then I waited for the trackball mount......and I waited.
I emailed him twice and didn't hear back.
I put in a complaint with paypal because it was getting close to the deadline and I had just gotten burned by someone else.
   I also gave him a negative on his trade count.
well he sure responded then. he sent me a nasty email saying, don't do business with me again. and he said "did you ever think maybe I was busy, I'm in the army, blah blah blah."

 And I had just recently started a new account at BYOAC because my old one was screwed up, so he gave me some crap about being a newbie on the forums and who the hell did I think I was.
He went on and gave me a negative trade count and lied by saying I didn't try to contact him before putting in a complaint with Paypal.

At that time, his reviews from others looked good so I thought whatever, stuff happens.
I have since placed one very small order with him for a couple of heavy joystick springs and received the order as normal and packed better then the video card.

Funny thing about the trackball mount, I ordered one from twisted quarter and then ended up building with a metal cp so the mount is still sitting in my basement.  ;D

Well... shorted me on the order all the cables that should come with the aimtrak OEM kit. Excellent communication until it was shipped, asking what was missing and now silence. I will give him the benefit of the doubt and wait until after the weekend to cause a fuss over the missing parts and late refund.

Hopefully it all goes well. It just seems to be hit or miss with this guy.
I have ordered from Ultimarc, GGG, Paradise Arcade, Lizard Lick, Twisted Quarter,Bob Roberts, Focus Attack and others without a hitch.

Somehow, when I've ordered from Ultimarc, I received my parts in like a couple days in Ct.
That's quicker than anyone else.

I got my aforementioned order in the expected time frame.  Everything was complete, but the trackball was missing. 

A couple e-mails back and forth and I had a new trackball (along with some other items I added through the course of e-mail) shipped out and delivered a day ago.

Everything seems on par with a business that is not someone's main source of income (I assume).  I think we're all a bit spoiled by the huge improvements by Amazon and other online retailers who only do this one thing.  I think a lot of the vendors on a forum like this (or any 'enthusiast' forum) do it as additional income - which probably doesn't have the best profit margins to begin with.  I'm sure no one's getting rich off this hobby; side art, controller mods, even cabinet builders I know only do it nights n weekends and to supplant their 9-5.

I don't think this gives anyone a pass to not 'make right' mistakes - but I think it does give them the right to make those mistakes.

...or maybe I'm wrong.  :P

I agree to a point about it being a side business and all.
  I run a side business and there are times I have to put off some work because I'm busy with my normal job
or family but in my experience, he was rude and put the blame on me for his screwup.
That's bad service.

I guess I wasn't speaking on your situation specifically - but I take your point and stand by my previous statement - I don't think this (being a side business) gives anyone a pass to not 'make right' mistakes.

I'm still sitting in silence. You have to admit, he definitely is in the habit of sending out incomplete orders. Side job or not, expecting what you paid for to arrive (complete) is not being "spoiled" by amazon or the like. I work hard for my money, and my time is valuable to me. Spending time dealing with issues is a chore I would rather not do.

Well here I am looking silly. All excited about my order and post a good review, only to look the fool when things aren't as they should have been.

I got an email last week suggesting that I maybe wasn't getting his emails... but that sort of stuff doesn't really happen in this day and age. I check my spam mail regularely and even then all other communication has worked out fine. Now for some reason I have to wait until the missing items are shipped before I receive a refund... which makes me wonder if I am getting to pay for shipping on the missing items as well. Only time will tell, but I'm running out of patience. Even if things haven't shipped yet, the refund and a little more in the way of communication would be nice.

The refund is for ordering 2 guns and paying for them, but since there was only one gun plus the aimtrak kit and the shell, I saved a little money.

Did you use PayPal or something, so maybe you can file a complaint.
This guy has a habit of screwing up orders and acting like the customer is at fault.

I did use paypal, and I have heard Saturday is his regular shipping day. I will (perhaps foolishly) give him the benefit of the doubt until the weekend is over. It's not like it would be in transit even if it were shipped today anyways.

I feel like we should address something, and I hate doing it because Divemaster hasn't popped in to address any of this himself, but I feel it should come up.

Quite often, people steer newbies towards arcadeemulator.net to buy things, but with the amount of complaints coming up in this thread, should be we doing that? Not that vendors don't make mistakes- hell, I've even had Amazon goof up a thing or two (but they always made it right immediately).

I don't think he's trying to rip anyone off. I know he usually ships on Saturdays. I'm just wondering with the amount of complaints coming up in this thread, with examples and people saying "I won't use him anymore" (and to be fair, I'm one of them), I'm just wondering if he should still be readily recommended.

Your thoughts?

My thoughts - I won't order from him again... unless I am prepared to wait for something, and avoid the happ fees. But I did receive a tracking number this morning. He said once the package ships he would work on the refund, so I guess that's something? I hope to get it later today.

I've got one simple rule for these things: if you're not ready to sell the item, don't be ready to take the money.  I've told people to avoid this guy for years. 

Only ships on Saturday?  Fine. 

Short changing everyone on their orders?  Now that's ridiculous.  If the margins are so thin that you have to deliberately steal from your customers, you need to find another business.  Too many people have had this issue with this guy for too long for me to believe it's an honest mistake.

Your thoughts?

Even a while after my experience with him, I have recommended him to newbies. I think it was really due to the fact that even back when he was slamming me with emails on how terrible I was to complain to PayPal, I looked into his feedback from others and it all seemed good so I kinda chalked it up to an isolated incident. I even told him that.
So I just left it as that and then like I said, I ordered the very small order later on with no issue.
I truthfully wasn't aware that others were having similar issues with him.
My stance on it now is that I will no longer recommend him, nor will I trash him.

Also, I haven't  seen him on here in a while.

Well, I was wrong about the shipping. He made a label and gave me a tracking number. So in reality it has actually not shipped.

Got to chime in here.  Since 2005 or so I have ordered from Divemaster about 25 times.  I can only tell you how my transactions have went.  Divemaster has always been friendly with me via correspondence either on these forums or on Ebay.  The only time I have ever had an issue was back in 2007 when an Ipac I ordered from him did not work.  I sent it back, which DM paid the shipping and I received a new one within a week.  I like Divemaster and with my experiences, he is reliable and nice to deal with.  Also, a few times I've ordered something and couldn't figure out how to install or hook it up and DM always helped me install it via email.

However, I have not ordered anything from DM within the last year.  If he's going thru something I hope he gets it together and comes thru.  I really like the guy.

Hey guys I just found out about this post today. I think I have corrected the issue, my business is good in shipping 1,000 orders a month with a 15,000 positive feedback on eBay. I do make a error once in a while & I take this post as I need to do a better job. I double count all orders but now I will triple count. I want to say I'm sorry to all in this post but one. And I will be pming everyone in this post but one.  I'm sorry if I have made mistakes on anyone's order. I want everyone happy & I promise too do better on orders.  I have had health issues the last 4 months the meds cause major fatigue I have not been shipping as fast as I wish. But I'm determined to get thru that & do a better job. Please pm if you have any questions
Thanks

Hey guys I just found out about this post today.

Thanks for stepping in. I wish you no ill will, just frustrated with this order. Not because of the missing parts - I get that, we all have our moments. The lack of communication and long time for a refund from a fairly straightforward order has me worried. Regardless of your ebay ratings and high number of orders, this was my first order with you and we are strangers. It's not a huge sum of money but as you know first impressions are important.

Again I'm sorry for any issues.  I quite enjoyed talking to you before, during & after the sale. I felt like we were talking as friends. I get several 100 emails a week & answer them in order as so as possible. I thought I answered all your emails but if I missed one sorry. We should be square or will be after I get home from work tonight. When you get your items feel free to email if you need any help. And again I enjoyed talking to you & hope to do so in the future

Divemaster,
  I personally appreciate your response to this thread and I'll give you another chance in the future.
I understand that doing business on the side of a regular job can be tough and I think your response here is a good one.
I'm sorry to hear about your health problems. I hope things are going better.

To keep it short I was diagnosed a year ago with what was thought gout only in my hands. My hands swell up big time. After it kept coming back & lots of blood test thru a rheumatologist I was diagnosed with a unknown inflammatory arthritis.  There is no cure only control & I work my day job & night job with my hands. When you can't button your jeans that's a problem.  So since they do not know what causes it they throw everything at it. 6 + steroid burst packs a month plus daily steroids. Medroil which is a horrible strong inflammatory, up to 8 termadol a day(those cause other peoblems) ' a long term med that takes up to 6 months to work. You have to get your eyes checked every 3 months because of side affects. I sleep in arthritus gloves every night. Taking all this crap causes fatigue & causes gastro problems makng you sick.  Right now it's controlled somewhat. What really stinks I can't hardly play my machines anymore. Being a guy you keep thinking it's gonna get better. 

I like to think there is good in everyone I just cannot understand why one person on the forums feels he must do nothing but spread misery in people's life's, that's really sad. Is it just so hard to be nice.
I carry both ultimarc & happ items, all brand new & I ship from the united states. My online store is ARCADEEMULATOR.NET, pm if I can help in anyway.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

He's short changed customers for years.  If his new medical conditions preclude the ability to sell arcade parts, then quit taking people's money.
