You can have it when I'm done with it, bro.

I'll message you later on my planned project.

Very fast shipping for sure. The only thing is the delivery company  always charges stupid high hidden fees.

It was only $15. Worth it for hassle-free, super-fast shipping.

I just had this SAME experience when ordering a new OptiPac and a iPac USB cable.  It was shipped one day from London, arrived in CT the next day.  CRAZY!

Andy is very responsive, quick to ship, and was very helpful over e-mail with support.  I would recommend Ultimarc unconditionally.

Bump for Andy!!  It has been a few years since I ordered from him, but my order too was here in 2-3 days.  I might have to look at getting an Aimtrak....   :cheers:

I always wondered why shipping with them was $15 now i know and now i have no reason to not pay that much if it gets to the states in 2 days.

Am I seriously the only person that got completely screwed over by DHL (aka the only shipping option from ultimarc)? My problem wasn't with ultimarc themselves but the shipping company. They came to my house a few times at like 2 in the afternoon when nobody was around, refused to drop the package off because they needed payment for all the extra bs charges they tacked on, wouldn't take a phone payment from me for some stupid reason, then told me I had to drive 100 km to their shipping warehouse to pick up my package? I just remember it being a really bad experience that I haven't done since (about 2.5 years or so). Now anytime I need anything from ultimarc I just drive the hour (100km) or so to the playdium store in toronto and be done with it. Again not the fault of Ultimarc, but in a roundabout way it sort of is by not offering any alternative shipping to that pos company  :angry:

Where are you located? Your use of km makes me think you're in Canada, which may explain the additional charges.

Yea I'm in Ontario, Canada. It's completely possible that's why my experience with dhl is different from that majority of others.
