Well to start, i’m a male, 17 years old, from San Francisco (California)😃 My first order is going to most likely be some A314 (and maybe a to-go size just to try it out of something else) because i’ve recently begun working as a web-designer and business consultant in my free time and I have a feeling it will help me out as far as gaining some instant respect with my clients. At the moment, the typical meeting begins with a bit of contempt since i’m “only 17 and couldn’t possibly know more than my clients who already own successful businesses.” Then, after some interaction and after I help them out a bit, I gain the respect I feel I deserve however it would be nice to begin with that. Hopefully the A314 will be able to help me out with that 🆒 ---

Hi pherouser!, I am just a little older than you and careful with that A314 from my experience. 2 drops and people get scared! To go size of A314 is mx102. You might also want to try ammo and instant openness (or other [social pheromone](https://a314.com/product-category/social-pheromones/) that promote talking to balance the seriousness of a314) Instant shince is also great for a happy fun vibe! Welcome! ---

Yeah i’ve decided to throw in an [Ammo](https://a314.com/product/ammo/) to-go with my order and i’ll give it a try on my upcoming vacation. As for the A314, i’ll be sure to go easy on it at first 🙂 ---

Oh and a couple quick questions, first about the main site, I signed up for an account (they said I would get 500 points instantly?) and unfortunately that didn’t seem to go through…just curious as to way and wondering if it can be rectified? secondly, what’s been the general experience with shipping in the past? I leave for vacation on Saturday and I definitely was hoping to get my order by then…should I go with the added $10 for the 1 Business day or try my luck with the free 1-5 day shipping? Thanks again! ---

Mockingbird, just about to place my order. Will they allow me to buy the mx102 since it is experimental? I really want the A314 but cant afford it along with all the other togos I am getting. So I would love to get the mx102. What you think? ---

Since you live in california, there shouldn’t be any difference between the overnight and the ground shipping: they all arrive the next day. It only depends how fast it is processed at the store ---

Welcome, pherouser3625! Happy New Year!😛 😛 😛 SteveO will most likely be the one to handle the points problem on the order site, and he’ll be the one to pass out the GC for joining the forum. I have a problem with the Diabolically Halfwitted Loser delivery service in my area, but you may get yours before it’s even posted to the tracking site!😃 ---

Although I hate DHL, I have to admit, they have decent customer service…my dad ordered a computer and they failed the delivery for some reason…he went there AFTER HOURS on Christmas eve and they were nice enough to let him in to find his package 🙂 edit: saw the notice about re-opening on thursday…just hope i get my stuff by saturday! ---

Hi and welcome to the forum. Most orders are shipped within 24 hours, but there can be a processing time of 24-48 hours. It really depends on what you order. I know mockingbird meant well but there is absolutely no promise that 1-5 delivery will arrive the next day. NONE AT ALL! It’s a risk to say the least. Again though, we try to get orders out the next business day but it can take 48 hours. For reference if you have a client services issue like the points just send an email to [aprshipping@gmail.com](mailto:aprshipping@gmail.com) CS issues are not allowed on the forum, but this is just a friendly reminder. I am issuing your GC tonight.
