Had a screw up with Androtics and them not shipping me a314 in time as part of a kit, they exchanged it for an MX instead of telling me first -.- I was annoyed and misled.

Anyway, I had to find an alternative pretty quickly because there is a girl who I'll be seeing soon who responds well to a314 (daddy issues). Ascend was the closest alternative from what I've read...

I live in Australia, and order early morning on Tuesday - it arrived Thursday morning AMAZINGLY. WTF lol... fedex is not a joke!

But thank you Steve for the great customer service and very timely service. Probably saved my ass this weekend.

I'm a customer for life!

A314 and ascend are kind of on the opposite side of the spectrum imo. A314 is serious and motivated while ascend is laid back and comfortable.

Yep I agree veramis. A314 is a solid great product but you really have to play the part. Ascend I designed so you just are the part.

Glad it got there in time phertest

Speaking of shipping, will there ever be an option where Canadian residents can have cheaper shipping (don't mind waiting longer for it).

I do understand that XS is a small company though it is still slightly discouraging to see 20$ shipping.

The equation of my mind (and I'm sure many other Canadians) goes to the tune of:
*Guilt of buying yet another mone (already have too many) + Guilt of Shipping Price (+ Fear of additional custom, tarrifs and taxes) + Frugality thoughts > Impulsive thoughts = "God I wish I could try out XS's oil but I guess its prudent to wait a little later"

The least expensive shipping to Canada is 6.55 and that is for an ounce, or one freebee from Steve. That service takes from 4 to 6 weeks on average. Priority is two weeks for 23.95 flat rate. Steve already loses money on most shipping transactions. I don't ever see it getting cheeper.

yeah, I definitely see Steve's pov.
still makes convincing a co-worker into the mone world a lot harder bc of it lol

Bulk order together and request flat rate padded mailer. Under 30 total for shipping and odds are steve can fit in the ball park of fifty some bottles in it.

Steve has shipping discounts of 5$ for every 50$ ordered.
