Mine and many others fit perfect the first time! People jump all over you because you make unsubstantiated claims like that. You have no idea what the average number of refits is. I've read this is a common issue with customs and would guess it's highly dependent on quality of the impression. Fisher supplied prepaid shipping labels and return boxes with my customs. They make it pretty easy to resolve.

I was very satisfied with their service. They were busy and hence not great at sending emails on the status. This didn't bother me since any time I called somebody answered the phone promptly and were helpful and friendly.

Aesthetically Fisher might not be as pretty as UM. Functionally I bet they are similar and am curious to see a comparison. Fisher is significantly cheaper. For me the cost saving was worth it.

I just saw that the last guy to get JH-13's done for $1000+ from JH directly was on his fourth refit! So there are all kinds of variables that go into it.

One thing to remember though, if you're in the USA, I'm not sure I'd want to be paying (and waiting) for shipping back and forth to China. One of the last people posting about the experience with Unique Melody said he had a 28 business day wait! And that's AFTER intercontinental shipping! Now if I could get iems to Unique Melody in 2 days with a $5 priority box, that would be a whole different story, but cost and time of international shipping for those in US is quite a bit different.

Is the feeding frenzy over now or are these guys still jammed packed?

I've been procrastinating on getting my molds done, but am hoping to do it some time in the next few weeks if things have settled down at Fisher.

It seems like it's settled from the threads here, but I'd just give them a call and ask!

Since they are BA IEMs, then yes, they'd be able to reshell/recable them.

Thanks but what is BA IEM? :O

I read recently that they were in the process of moving into a much bigger facility; I'm not sure how that might be affecting things.

looks not bad

Got a reply from kaysen last week and apparently if you prefer not to use UPS for international shipping, then you can use a prepaid return shipping of your own choice. (I'll probably end up sending one of those USPS print out labels).

What is Kaysen's email?
I tried kaysen@fisherhearing.com and it came back as a delivery error.

 

[c483125117]

Kaysen's e-mail is definitely kaysen@fisherhearing.com.

Fisher will not be moving to their new facility until April 1st, but current turnaround times are more than reasonable. Just received my customs today. 12 business day turnaround time (including 2 days for shipping) for my customs to get back to me. Their estimate was betwen 10-15 business days. Going to listen to more music before I give my first impressions.

post your pics at least =D

I just sent an email to Kim gunna try to set this up but might wait till after they are moved in to the new place. I still have to get an Impression.
