Anyone order recently? - advice needed
Glad you pulled the trigger on it. I've been watching this vendor too but haven't committed yet. What's the turnaround time looking like so far? Curious about their order process and if vendor communication was decent throughout, since that's always the part that makes me nervous. If the vendor came through smoothly, that's a good sign. Hope everything keeps going well—stealth packaging would be a bonus too.

So I finally decided to pull the trigger and order from this vendor based on some old reviews I'd seen floating around. Figured I'd share my experience because honestly, the info out there is kinda sparse, and I was pretty nervous about placing my first order with them.
Ordering timeline – I placed my order on a Monday evening. Payment confirmation came through the next morning. Production took about 10 days, which I figure is pretty standard for these guys since they batch things. Tracking showed up on day 12, and the package landed in my mailbox 6 days after that (domestic shipping). Total turnaround was 18 days from order to arrival. Not the fastest, but honestly, totally acceptable for the price point.
Communication speed – I had a question about the latest state template before ordering because I know some states recently changed their ID designs. I shot them an email through the contact form on their site. Got a reply within about 6 hours, which I thought was solid. The support person confirmed they update their templates pretty regularly whenever a state changes their IDs. They specifically told me to just ask support for the current version before placing an order if I'm worried about having the newest format. That was a relief because I've heard horror stories of people getting old templates from other vendors.
Packaging and stealth – The envelope was a plain bubble mailer with a return address that looked like a generic e‑commerce store. No obvious markings on the outside. Inside was a folded piece of cardboard holding the ID, wrapped in a thin layer of foam. No weird stickers or business cards. Honestly, if you didn't know what it was, you'd think it was just some cheap plastic card from a promotional mailer.
As for the pros, they regularly update templates when states change their IDs – you just need to hit up support to confirm you're getting the latest version. Support was responsive and helpful without being pushy. Packaging was discreet and low-key, and the turnaround time wasn't crazy long.
On the downside, the color matching could be slightly better, but it's nothing major and might be batch-specific. Also, there were no real tracking updates between "packed" and "delivered" – you just have to wait until it shows up. And the ordering interface is a little janky, but it works.
Overall, if you're on the fence, I'd say go for it. Just make sure to ask support for the current version beforehand so you don't end up with an outdated template. That piece of advice the original post mentions is legit – it made a big difference for my order.
Perfect timing, I was wondering the same thing
Really appreciate this post
Curious how often they update their templates. Want to make sure Im getting the latest version
