I bought a Vision Pro 19" monitor from them. $17 UPS shipping. Not bad at all. |

All of them are excellent and very fast! You are right about ULTIMARC. You can purchase something from Andy at Ultimarc in the UK. He sends it out DHL. And i will receive it in 3 days here in SC. (U.S.A) Great Service!! Now i can order something from California (U.S.A) And it will be shipped by UPS. And it will take almost a week and a half to get here ! What's up with DAT ??? |

My monitor and bezel were ordered together and shipped in separate boxes and shipping was around $17 for me as well. I just don't get it - the only thing that might be oddly shaped is the vinyl but I don't think it necessitates such high shipping... |

DHL and FedEx send their stuff to a central location, then it's sorted and sent to its respective area of the country, where it's sent through (at the most) one more finer sort. FedEx's stuff that's NOT overnight is done the same way as UPS. UPS - you go to your local office or perhaps a pack-n-ship location (like a mailboxes plus). IF it hits during a sort cycle (meaning it's picked up and entered into the sort), it'll get processed and perhaps loaded and shipped off before a shift change or a load leaves. That's a big if. If it DOESN'T, it gets sorted during the next cycle, which might be 4-12 hours later, depending on how it's classified. Then it's loaded on a truck, which may or may not leave immediately when it's full. Then, it may be sent to a larger sort facility where it's sorted with the same crap it went through at the last sort facility. The difference is that now it leaves that area and heads towards your state. When it reaches your state, it's broken down yet again to a finer sort, shipped off to your area, sorted once more, and delivered to you. If you've got a regular old Ground Delivery package, it's not treated any differently than any other package, the difference is that it might go onto a truck that leaves the sort facility later in the day than those more expensive shipping option packages, or perhaps the next day even. When you pay for overnight or 2-day, everything's done almost identically between any major package delivery company. Howsabout THAT for some crap you never wanted to know? |
