Awesome! I should have asked on here ......... :oops:

DHL took 2 weeks for me to get mine from China. But it sat in Customs for 5 days.
Not bad. It took me three weeks to get stuff from Germany using DHL and the postal system.
Apparently they put it on a pack mule across Canada. ;)

I've bought quite a bit of motorcycle parts from Germany and they always sat in customs for 2 weeks. Maybe they put them in a bombproof place and wait to see if they blow up IDK.

I shipped a buddy in Germany 3 heavy packages containing complete Ford 8.8 rear end disc brakes and one axle tube and axle shaft. Took 4 days through USPS. :shrug:

I bought mine from aliexpress.com for ?? $400 CDN plus tax and duty. I believe, and I may be wrong, that any of the Tech2's are Chinese manufactured, mine came with all the "correct" decals of Vetronix, they just weren't applied. Which suggests that all come from the original factory but probably due to contractual obligations cannot be sold as such. At least for the one I bought.

The PCMCIA card slot door didn't go up enough to easily slide it in but it just needed a little "persuasion" and it popped right in. Still closed after I did it.

But I too saw a post where a guy had to cut the door to make his go in.

James. I'm a little jealous you got the case but I just bought a cheap plastic tool box which holds what I need for my vehicle. $18 :p I live in B.C. which for the rest of western Canada means Bring Cash ;)

I looked at that one, but I couldn't see (other than the pictures ) anywhere that it specified the software version and got nervous. Yours came 33.004?

Yup.

EDIT: They were really responsive to my queries, if in somewhat poor English but better than my Mandarin. I'm sure they would be glad to answer any questions you'd have.

Send 'em a question!
