I was one of the people they lied to about schedules, ship dates, etc., BUT still am a relatively pleased customer. The problems seem to lie more with the shipping department than with DAK as a supplier. Most of the items I have ordered were well worth the price. In the three cases so far where I did not like the product, DAK was kind, prompt with the refund, and generally nice to work with. I would certainly NOT use them for any time-critical merchandise, but for general material they are very good. Also, they are not alone in problems. I ordered the 1200 BAUD ADC Modem from DAK and a Jade 1200 Baud modem from Jade at the same time. Both said they would be shipped the next day. Neither was. After numerouse phone calls and hair pulling, the DAK modem arrived first and in good working order. The Jade modem arrived last and arrived DEAD. On calling Jade, they suggested that I call the manufacturer because the problems with these modems were almost always just minor adjustments...ad nauseum. It was only with great reluctance they agreed to take the equipment back and then were three weeks late in crediting my account! I've had similar problems with virtually every computer and/or electronics house I've ever ordered from (except INMAC, but you pay for that service). If you want to complain about this, complain about the entire industry! -----Lawrence F.
