Title: How long does shipping take to get a Betson?
Post by: Brewser on June 21, 2005, 05:43:50 pm: Hello,
I ordered the Betson 27" early last week and I still haven't received a shipping confirmation. I was hoping to have it in by the weekend.
How long has it taken you guys to get in the monitor?
Thanks

Cost me close to $90 from Dallas to Houston.

That's a decent amount. I'm about 1.5 hours from the nearest distributer.. it will be cheaper if I can just pick one up from their location..

Let me know how you like the monitor!

Post by: Pac Threat on June 29, 2005, 04:38:56 pm: I missed my chance last december to pick one up at Pittsburgh Betson when they had some stock. When I went to get one in mid January they were all gone and I had to wait 1.5 months before stock came in again. The only way I wasnt going to get charged shipping was for it to be in their stock, if they would have had one transferred it would have cost me.
I was in no hurry, I have it now installed, my arcadeVGA card working fine with no problems. Its awesome to play mame on it! If I was picky I would have some comments like others in the forums have posted, but I'm completely happy.
I need to now finish making the top part of my cab now that I have the monitor and know how its going to fit for mounting.
Good luck, be patient, but keep on top of them.

Even on Kevin's site I believe he said they were very speedy.
Can't wait though.

Post by: Ghoward on June 29, 2005, 09:03:09 pm: Got mine in less than one week, however I never got anything sent to me to say it was shipped, it just turned up on the doorstep. I like the way UPS likes to leave a $500 monitor on the doorstep!

Post by: Brewser on June 30, 2005, 09:44:05 pm: Mine is being shipped by freight. They told me they no longer use UPS because of damage. I suppose it will take a couple extra days now on truck.
