Hi all, we can’t thank you enough for your feed back. We are working with carriers now to optimize our shipping times and cost for you. We do not mark up shipping at all, so what they can give us, we give you.

As a “thank you” we would like to offer you a free shipping coupon on www.microchipDIRECT.com for the rest of the week. The coupon code is “Facebook”. Should be easy to remember… If you are buying very high volume from us with special pricing and replied here, contact us and we can help you. The coupon will not work when other special pricing is involved. Also, we are aware that not all countries are open for microchipDIRECT at this time and we are working hard to open more  as fast as we can to support you. Thanks again!!
