Has anyone in the Uk ordered the OWC Data Doubler Kit and if so how long did it take to arrive. Ordered mine last Monday and i'm sitting here with a new SSD and itchy fingers waiting for it
Don't live in the UK but if you order free shipping from OWC it takes a long time here in the US. They probably sent it by boat.
let me know how this goes, i've been meaning to puchase one of these for quite a while now..
Mine was shipped on Jan 13 and delivered to Australia on Feb 6. I selected a cheapest postage option. I think delivery in UK should be much faster.

Seriously? From OWC? I have purchased RAM previously from them with the cheapest option and it took about 2 weeks... I guess 3 weeks isn't THAT much of a difference, but still.
You could've ordered it shipped from the UK instead.

Thats for a Macbook not a Mac Mini. With that kit you lose the optical bay on a MBP. Its no good for the MM.

Ebay is a cheaper option for me here in Asia - did you consider that?Unfortunately this was the only option i had or iFixit. Cant get the kit anywhere in the uk. Could have bought a hex set,screws and grommets from my local pc shop. The cheapest i could find the cable for was £50-£60.
I could have gone the easy route and done it externally but never do anything the easy way
5! Impressive. Maybe the parts for the OP weren't exactly in stock or something..I've ordered memory and other parts in the past and the quickest it arrived in New Zealand was 5 days and the slowest 10. Waiting at this moment for my own data doubler cable (not kit, just cable, screws and grommets).

I paid for that $35 when I ordered only 2x4GB sticks of memory! (Was $400 back in 2010). I didn't want to wait, so it was worth that money IMO.It was in stock. Ordered on the 4th showed as despatched on the 5th. I chose international air mail as they wanted $35 for express delivery. ($35 on a small packet....ridiculous)
I tried everywhere including eBay before i took the plunge to buy direct from OWC.
.....
Ive ordered bits and pieces from all round the world in the past and have never waited 30-35 days for anything.
Needless to say i cant see me ordering anything from the US again in a hurry.

I contacted them yesterday as its been 2 weeks now and this is the reply i got
"Thank you for contacting Other World Computing. I am very sorry for the delay and any inconvenience this may have caused you. The International Mail shipping method used for that order doesn't include a tracking number. It will usually take around 10-14 business days, though it may take longer due to delays from customs processing and/or the postal service. They can take up to 35 days to be delivered. If that isn't delivered after 30 days we can start a claim on that for you, though they do usually have that delivered before that point"
So in other words theres nothing i can do for another 2 weeks. Luckily paid through paypal so i'll give it till the end of next week and contact them and see what they say.

Search for OWC/Newertech Official Dealer/Reseller/Importer in W-Europe, outside UK.
Thanks for that. Found them in the Belgium seller. Delivered in 2-3 days.
Could have done with your help 3 weeks ago as mine still hasnt arrived. They've got till the end of this week then i'll be putting a claim in for a refund.

These guys have it in stock, and they probably have the mounting grommets and the screws, too.
