rec.autos.simulators

I've had a "Hyper Stimulator" on order for quite some time now and I'm
starting to get "conflicting" stories (about delivery) from different
people at Desktop Simulators in Texas (where I ordered the HS from).

Does anyone have any experience with this company ???

I'd be interested to know about someone else's experiences.

Thanks,

EE

As I noted a couple of weeks ago on this group, my experience with
them was unsatisfactory.  I was given the run around for a couple of
months and ended up canceling my order.  They lied to me about the
status of the product by implying that it was on the water, being held
by Customs, etc.  In the end, one of their people told me that they
were holding orders till they got sufficient quantities to actually
place the order with Hyper in Australia.  Desktop Simulators told me
that Hyper requires 20 units to be ordered at a time and D.S. didn't
want to have to carry that much expensive inventory.  Fair enough, but
why couldn't they be honest and up front about from the beginning
instead of giving false ship dates, product status, etc?

Hyper in Australia will have to establish another dealer in the States
before I would consider it again.  There is a dealer in Canada ( I
believe in Vancouver) that someone in the northwest told  me he
visited and purchased a unit from.  I live in Indiana so that isn't an
option for me ...

I suspected as much, I've been hearing the same excuses.

I think I'll start investigating other options.

Are the ECCI contols significantly better than TSW ??? Looks like these
two are the most logical upgrades from a T-2 ???

Thanks for your advice,

EE

Thanks for letting me knw, I was getting kind of leery of thses guys.
They've told me too many stories.

Guess I'll look elseware.

Got any suggestions over a T-2 ??? I'd have a TSW but they're taking so
long (if I'd ordered from them first, looks like I'd have one by now
!!!).

Thanks,

I'm sorry to hear that EE, as well as others are having problems with the US
dealer, but I've heard stuff like this about him before.

It's unfortunate that they have chosen to go with this one source of
importation into the US. I know that they (Hyperstimulator) have two
distributors in Canada. One is Rory in Vancouver, and there is another one
in the East (I want to say Montreal, but I'm not sure).

The product is far superior to anything else I've seen, and if you're handy
with tools, the kit versions make a very attractive option.

Might I make a couple of suggestions?

Try contacting Rory at this URL: http://www.directcomputers.com/ He's a very
nice and helpful guy and might be able to explain some things to you.

Also, let the people at Hyperstimulator know the problems you are having.
Email them DIRECTLY, and tell them everything that you've been told. Here's

if someone doesn't tell them.

Anyway, sorry to hear about your problems, but, if I could work out other
options to get a Hyper unit, I'd still try to figure out how to do that.
Just my 2 cents.

Take care,

TB

Thanks for the advice, I'll contact the Cnadian dealer and HS directly.

Thanks again,

EE
