I need the advice of someone who has ordered through v4l at least a few times. I recently bought another brand 808 which was reported to be the "best" by many a thread I read. All I can say is too bad I discovered v4l after the fact. Anyway, I bought one of the kits for someone's birthday this weekend. Not all the pieces work though and they are out of stock so can't replace it. I could gift it anyway and promise the other piece when it becomes available (what time that is even the company has no idea), but the person would not be able to use it. I'm thinking now of ordering a v4l kit for them. What do you think the chances are it would be in by Friday going to New England, and does anyone know if they offer expedited processing and shipping? Thanks!
