content: If you need a DS1000Z urgently, you have two main choices. You can get DS1074Z for a bit more, or buy direct from China (risky if warranty not valid - you will need to check)

content: Will be like the rest of the world. Half the staff go home for the holidays, and while there they either decide not to go back, get a new job or simply forget what they used to do. Thus you spend a week getting back in order, then another ramping up to close to what is normal. Basically Feb is a wash out.

content: Here it is common that people die over the holiday, either in an accident or from other reasons. 2013 was bad for that by me. 2014 as well.

content: Quote from: elgonzo on February 16, 2015, 01:34:45 ami guess what the canadian meant is "die over holiday" meant crazy to wait for the holiday, where "die during holiday" meant people die. i stand corrected, i'm no english, if some of my words are insultive, apologize in advance... back to topic.... i made an order cart recently in tequipment, they said order will be shipped end of feb if i make the payment, i havent make the payment, still need thinking. if any dealer here can give better price than tequipment + trackable shipping cost to malaysia, please chime in.

content: Hi, first post here. If you don't want to wait at Batronix (Germany) or eleshop (Netherlands), I warmly recommend Batterfly (Italy).I ordered my DS1054z + DP832 last saturday and they arrived today wednesday in Belgium.
