Beta isosticks shipped!

Update #23 · Jun 21, 2012 · 8 comments

The beta / Early Adopter isosticks are in the mail!

They were sent via USPS, who could not provide me with tracking numbers for shipments outside the US. I will look into other companies for future international shipments as a result. If anyone has suggestions, please reply in the comments for this update.

I expect the beta to last 2-3 weeks to sort out any major bugs, then the rest should begin shipping :)

      Already slapped a 64GB MicroSDXC card in it and put a Windows 8 iso on it :)

      Probably gonna put on Ubuntu, Windows 7, memtest and maybe a few crash recovery live cds as well :)

      Ouch, I had no idea! I'll definitely check out DHL.

      I'd definitely recommend DHL (Don't think UPS is in our country anymore), the customs process from our national postal service is pretty annoying :(

      When they get a package they set aside for customs they usually snail mail me a letter telling them to prove the cost of the package(Sometimes even when it's been correctly declared), so i have to send back scans and prints of receipts and send it back, then they can take a few days to process it (More if they're busy, like in the holidays) and then another day or two for them to release and ship my package)

      The last time i had a package from china (value: ~$20, properly declared) not only did i pay $30 in fees to pay the customs fee of ~$5 but it also took them 1½ week :(

      Oh well, hoping they don't flag my package for customs :D
