We are only shipping to locations within the United States at this time.
OpenFlops W1D is a complete modification for the original OpenFlops specifically configured for use replacing the flaky Citizen W1D floppy drives, popularly used in Compaq LTE Elite laptops.

Order processing: Orders will generally be processed the next business day, but it could take up to two business days before an order is shipped. This excludes holidays or any days USPS is closed. I do work a full time position in addition to supporting this battery business. There is a possibility your order will go out same business day if it received before 7 AM CST. I do ship on Saturdays as well as time permits. Do keep in mind special order/custom units may take upwards of 10 business day to process.
Shipping notes: Orders are either shipped through the post office locations in either Shawano, WI or Green Bay, WI locations. I had a customer question this in the past, so I'm including this note.
I absolutely don't like USPS. Can I ship with UPS? Yes you can! Please select this option at checkout if you opt for UPS. These will almost always be shipped out of Green Bay, WI on the next business day. I however cannot offer overnight shipping at this time. This service is only available for buyers in the United States.
