Hello & thank you again to all at J A
June 2012 I purchased my Zumo 660, mount bracket, aux battery etc from you & you guys & your service & prices were really impressive / great to deal with.
My back ground is Automotive diagnostic / Tech support so I appreciate the difficulties of providing support & appreciate it done well.
At the time I thought (& told many) that for GPS equipment that you guys were the best in the business .... by a long way.
Great price & spectacular service, dispatch, assistance, all brilliant.
I still recommend you to others but haven't dealt with you for a while.
How impressed was I with the technical support I received from you this week.
(huge thanks again James, your blood is worth bottling).
For all to Know. The Garmin product is very very good but J A support makes it brilliant.
I had checked for updates & then tried to do a firmware update on the official Garmin web site & via a glitch after back up, I had lost all software on my Zumo.
Zumo was hardware only. No matter what I tried. I could not recover it.
The only thing Zumo could do was display the message system software missing.
Garmin tech support were very helpful but a posting away etc maybe a ten day turn around was pending (also pending was a trip through the Victorian High Country, which would have been nice to have had Zumo along)
When I rang Johnny Apple Seed as an after thought, (since they were so good when I had purchased from them in the past) just in case they could advise some thing, maybe a bit quicker turn around etc.
James (what a champion) is firstly very helpful & says he has some info' for me, could be a moment to find it & could he email me some step by step instructions. Sounds good to me.
Step by step & whacko...
Zumo is up & running again, new firmware in, all my software / saved trips etc back in.
(& the routes for the High country are now being planned on Zumo...yea ha)
Clearly, if its hassle free GPS equipment. great prices, brilliant advice & support you want then clearly you have to deal with Johnny Apple Seed. (or else seek psycho therapy, if you don't, you may need to have your head read)
Regard & thanks again

I had researched online for the best mounts to secure my Garmin eTrex20 for use in car and on my bicycle when GeoCaching.
RAM mounts consistently appeared as the best brand so it was a no brainer.
What motivated me to order through Johnny Appleseed GPS online store was; local presence, items were in-stock and importantly I was able to “Live Chat” to staff member to confirm that the selection would work for both my car and bicycle.
Thanks Fiona for the assistance. 5 star customer service!
Regards,
10th January, 2013
Thankyou for delivery of my order. Your service and website date updates are exemplary.
21st November, 2012
Fiona was brilliant! first time i have used an instant chat, very fast and efficient! has resulted in a sale that i will put through shortly!
15th November, 2012
I'm just writing to thank you for the excellent service Johnny Appleseed has provided throughout my recent purchase of a Garmin GPS unit.
I'd originally purchased one of these units from the USA via ebay. After 4 weeks of waiting the seller still hadn't shipped the item, because he hadn't received stock from Garmin. I then discovered Johnny Appleseed. Not only are you in Australia, but your prices are very reasonable, you had the unit in stock (and didn't pretend to have it in stock when you didn't) and I received it within a couple of days of purchase.
I will make you my first port of call whenever I wish to purchase electronics gear in the future.
Thankyou

Dear Johnny,
Third time ordering with JA.
Never been disappointed, excellent staff, amazing dispatch and delivery. The two times I have an issue with Garmin kit, you sorted it out with no hassles.
You deserve to succeed.
Cheers

Dear Johnny,
Un-be-lievable! I ordered my battery on line on Monday afternoon and it arrived at my office in Auckland on Wednesday morning! That’s service! Thanks so much!
15th October, 2012
Thanks Sam, This is better than I expected. Johnny Appleseed always seems to exceed my expectations!
14th October, 2012
I am also sending this email to compliment your staff on helping me as nothing was an effort to this young guy, so 10 out of 10 for going the extra mile.
19th September, 2012
Hi,
I would just like to thank you for your prompt service. My partner just called to say she has received my order. Assuming the order is all intact as I haven’t inspected it yet, I would like to the thank the Appleseed Team for the professional advice over the phone and speed of delivery.
This has been outstanding and by far the fastest internet delivery I have received.
Well done guys and thanks
14th September, 2012
I just wanted to say what a brilliant service your Queensland store provided for me. I ordered a Garmin eTrex 20 yesterday afternoon and today it arrived. Totally unexpectedly because I live in Tassie. So could you please pass on my comments to the store at Rocklea.
3rd September, 2012
Unbeleivable.
I was slack and left things too late and needed a present, ordered on Friday at 2 pm only hoping to get it for Monday and it arrived. I know this cannot be all the time but.
Sensational service.!!!!!!!
A rare comodity these days.
5 stars for Johnny Appleseed.
10th August, 2012
I received the Garmin this morning. What fantastic, prompt and efficient service. I will certainly recommend your company to any of my colleagues and friends looking for similar products.
3rd August, 2012

Thanks for sending my order so promptly.
I live in Darwin and was amazed to receive the parcel so early.
24th Nov, 2011
Thanks very much for the prompt service. Units arrived overnight as expected and one is working perfectly, the other is a xmas gift so will be tested later.
I just wanted to comment on the amazing service that I have received, this has been by far the best online shopping experience I have had. To say thanks I've done a bit of word-of-mouth advertising for you and you should be sending a few more units up to [..] in the next few days.
Thanks again!
3rd Nov, 2011
No Questions about my order only feedback. I cannot believe that I can place an order on a Sunday afternoon and have the goods by Tuesday! I am extremely impressed by your service and will pass on to others. I look forward to dealing with you again. Maybe you will "stuff" the next order up and give me something to complain about (LOL); I doubt it.
9th Oct, 2011
And a quick user review after a week on the road.
I LOVE it. The Voice Command is Bloody Handy when driving around
27th Jan, 2011
This is amazing!! We ordered 2 Garmin Etrex 20's from you yesterday and they've just been delivered (5 mins ago) to [..] in Western Australia.
[..] is about an hour's drive south of Perth.
It takes 2 days to get a letter delivered from Perth so the speed of delivery from Queensland is outstanding and fantastic.
Cannot believe it!!
Thank you so much, it is appreciated.
Cheers
14th Jan, 2011
I just wanted to let you know how impressed I am with your prices, service, delivery – basically everything!
I've even used the online chat and found that to be very helpful and Fiona is very friendly!
I purchased a Garmin Oregon 450t handheld GPS and it works a treat!
I can highly recommend Johnny Appleseed GPS to everyone!
21st Oct, 2010

Here is a photo with some of our brigade guys with the Units-didn't come out quite as well as I had hoped but you get the idea for sure. I installed the units in our trucks yesterday and everyone is very happy with them.
25th May, 2010
I received the watch today.
Thanks for such fast delivery. I didn't expect it till the end of the week.
Thanks again.
26th April, 2010
I Ride a CB600F Hornet "08" & decided it was time to mount my Garmin Etrex Vista on my bike as it is my main mode of transport.
The parts I used are:
RAM-HOL-GA5U
RAM-B-238U
RAM-B-201U-A
RAM-B-367U
This system worked better than I had first thought it would the whole setup sits quite low. Almost like it was made for the bike.
After looking through the RAM Website & deciding what I wanted to mount my GPS, I headed to Johnny Appleseed in Melbourne , "Victoria, Australia".
The Staff at Johnny Appleseed were only to helpful with the parts I needed.
The best part about this mounting system is that it sits in amongst the handlebars so it is easy to use even if I'm ridding or stationary & if I don't want to leave the system on the bike it takes me about 15 seconds to remove it.
13th April, 2010
I am writing to inform you I believe you have the best store front staff of any electronic company I have encountered in over 40 years in business.
I went to your Annerley store a week or so ago asking for assistance with the operation of my Garmin, A chap who's name is Andrew provided me with advice and assistance that was invaluable.
I returned the Garmin Nuvi 265 to Garmin they in turn sent me a replacement that arrived today, however it came without instructions, not being as smart as a Fifth Grader I contacted your office for help.
This bought me to your office at Salisbury. I contacted your office by phone and spoke with Jayson who said it would be acceptable to come on over. That I did and met Kelsey whose assistance was just great.
I have this question for you! In my 40 years in business I was never able to put a team in the office that showed such class. I did employ during the 70s & 80s over 70 staff manufacturing clothing.
What is your secret?
Thank you for your great service.
1st April, 2010
Gday JA staff,
Ordered some RAM gear at 4:00 pm yesterday. It arrived at my door 11:00 am today. It took all of 10 minutes to order it over the net with the help of a very efficient website. I'm not one to write to businesses to thank them for the service, however on this occasion i need to say great service. This is the type of service that makes customers come back again and again. Probably not unlike most people these days i need things yesterday and JA certainly provides as close to this as possible. Keep up the good work.

Hi There
Nowadays it seldom happens that one is genuinely impressed with something. I can honestly say that after ordering my Garmin GPS from you guys, I am very impress with the prompt delivery of my product. I ordered it on Monday night, and Wednesday morning it had travelled all across Australia and was on my table. Thank you very much.
30th January, 2010
Hi,
Went online and ordered my Garmin 1450T on Thursday and within 24 hours was available at my Post Office Box. How good is that? I realised that there might be a slight delay sending it to a postal box, but staff at my local PO took the time to ring and let me know that it had arrived.
Loads of features - just getting to grasps with it now. First trial coming up this morning even though it is only local and I know the way. But getting ready for the longer trips later this year.
Thanks for your assistance.
26th January, 2010
I called in to your Boondall store on Saturday to replace the car power adapter for my Nuvi 310 because the end had somehow disappeared. The young man serving me could have just pulled one down from behind the counter but instead looked at the my damaged unit and said I think I can fix that with a couple of spare parts. He went out back and after a short while returned with my little baby fixed. He tested it on their power supply and it was as good as gold and for only a small labour charge.
Great service. Thankyou very much Johnny Appleseed..
8th January, 2010
Just some feedback to say I'm impressed with your service. Not only was Johnny Appleseed GPS price competative but the service was very efficient. Received cases this morning (Fri, 8 Jan) and invoice and receipt in mail. So from me, well done.
10th December, 2009
Wow!!! What great service. I only ordered yesterday and the item arrived, here in WA, today. Thanks
25th November, 2009
I just wanted to say
Thanks for the great service -
I ordered stuff late yesterday and it arrived on my desk before 2pm today.

Hi Kim,
Called in to your shop on Ipswich Rd recently.
You have a salesman called Kelsie??
He was just the best person salesman I have ever spoken to. (Other than you).
His manner, his explanations and his knowledge of the Colarado, Oregon and Dakota with all the different models of each etc, etc was just great.
His advise made lots of sence to me and I did not find myself discussing or arguing at all - this is not normal for me.
Congratulations on getting him - I will be contacting him in the future.
Kind regards,

To whom it may concern,
Last week I placed an order for a Garmin Oregon 300 at around 4pm and it arrived (by Aust. Air Exp.) the next morning at 11am. I also placed an order for a case last Friday to be delivered by normal post. It arrived today (Monday). What terrific service – Well done!!
I also want to make comment on the Oregon 300 and Garmin Topo charts....
As a VFR pilot and a professional Navigator I am SO impressed with this little device and associated software. The unit has exceptional sensitivity and for all of those reviews suggesting the screen is too dark in the sunlight – It isn't, and these people are obviously very hard to please. The usability of this device is the best that I've used and the touch screen provides a simple user interface.
JA, well done one the prompt service and I’ll definitely be recommending you to others.
Thanks and regards
Thomas

Hi guys
This is the first time I've dealt with your company and just wanted to let you know I was very impressed with your prompt, efficient service. I bought a Garmin c510 GPS navigator from a big national chain about a week ago but they couldn't supply me with another mount for a second car. Placed an order with you online early yesterday - about half the price I'd been quoted by the big chain - and a genuine Garmin mount arrived carefully packed and with full documentation in a bit over 24 hours. Very impressive indeed and I'll certainly be doing business with you again.
Kind regards
Steve
