Jeremy,
Is the Apex controller package still available for *Preorder Special $489.00 with FREE SHIPPING!* or is it now $494.95? Both are showing up on the screen; however, the basket shows $494.95 once added. Thank you for your time and assistance!

Sorry, we just got it updated. We were below the minimum advertised price with the $489, so we brought it up to be in line with that.
Thanks, Jeremy |

Looks like Neptune has plenty in stock according to their site... hopefully we'll be getting a shipping notification soon.

The word from Curt @ Neptune is that a key part of the Apex (the plastic housing for the base module) wasn't delivered when it was supposed to be, and slipped the shipping date by two weeks.
Apexes are expected to leave Neptune starting on July 6th. |

It's always something basic and simple that delays new products like this!

I called a couple of times and it was busy, so I sent Curt an email. Once I hear back I will post the update.
Thanks, Jeremy |
