Great Product, Great Price and unbelievable Support.

Bought an Oakcastle DVD100 from Amazon. I used it one time and it worked fine (at Halloween we watched "The Sixth Sense"). So yesterday, Thanksgiving Day, we settled in to watch "Miracle on 34th Street". Started the DVD and saw a message, "...wrong format for this region...". I contacted Amazon tech support who referred me to Oakcastle. Late that same evening I received an email from Armie of Oakcastle support, which suggested I use a certain "code" to change the region. I did as suggested and changed the region to "Region 1". Now it works perfectly.
Big thank you to Oakcastle support for responding so quickly (and on Thanksgiving Day, at that).

Exceptional customer care; unusable application

The customer service after the problem emerged was exceptional: quick and personally relevant responses by email, on weekend days even.
The problem is not resolved, although it resides in the car not the CD player. However, this renders the CD player useless. If there had been a way to know that my car could not use a Bluetooth CD player in advance I could have given up earlier.

Super support

I now understand that Oakcastle provide customer support for Majority customers. Andreea was exceptionally polite, positive and helpful. A new remote was sent to my brother without charge even though the soundbar is nearly 2 years old. When that was lost in the post, another was sent! (Later the first one turned up.) In short, the support was well above average, and I don't know any way in which it could have been better!

Amazing

I recently ordered a boombox from them with bluetooth, auxillary cable, and usb cable playability. Shortly after recieving it some issues arose. They promptly responded to my initial email as well as fuerther correspondence that we had in order to solve said issues. They were courteous and understanding. Two amazing customer service skills that I rarely see from anyone these days. 5 stars from me. I will continue to do business with them.`
