The best experience I ever had!
Short version: The wonderful people there made my support case the best experience I ever had. They just rock and went way more than an extra mile to make sure I'm happy. All the people there were super friendly and helpful and I really felt they are running Commodore with lots of passion. They solved my case perfectly!
Long version: I had ordered a C64 Ultimate Founders edition which had a (quite badly) damaged box because DPD had been very rough with the package. It was just the box but I intended to keep the device as a sealed collector's unit. My support contact was super friendly and helpful and offered an exchange so I'd have a pristine sealed device. Note that the device inside survived the rough handling and they still exchanged it just to make my collector's heart happy. And it got even better: DPD was a little rough with the replacement, too and I also had to open the other box to check the device for damage. Luckily it wasn't damaged but the keycaps weren't as precisely manufactured as my previous unit. They absolutely okay and functional, just... not as shiny as my first unit (which was still good and well protected inside the damaged box). A little bad luck on my side for sure. I already thought about keeping it as is but my collector's heart was a little sad. And then the miracle happened: I contacted support again and told them the whole story. They offered to look for my returned unit and send it back to me in a brand new box! And they did manage to find it! I got my unit back in a brand new box, upon shipping they selected another courier (Hermes, which is really reliable in my area) and gave the box an additional protective wrapping to make sure the package will arrive undamaged. They had told me in advance that the new pristine box wouldn't have the sticker with the serial number because those are prepared at the factory. I was completely fine with that but the people who retrieved my unit were even so kind to cut out the original sticker from the damaged box and add it to my shipment. Finally everything went well and I couldn't be happier. In fact, I was stunned how they managed to exceed my wildest hopes. Now I don't just have my previous C64U but also a lovely story to share. A big thank you to all the lovely people involved. You've been so nice and helpful, both my support contact who wrote back and forth with me to organize everything and the people behind the scenes to make the miracle happen. I'm not sure if it'd be okay to mention names in a review, hence I'll keep it anonymous. But if you happen to read this, I'm sure you'll recognize. Thank you!
