I really like the MakerGeeks filament but am having major delivery issues with the company. I **HATE** their yahoo store since you can't just login in and view your orders and follow them easily. We tried out their Geek Box for a couple of months but then they sent us some filament we can't use with the Ultimaker so we cancelled.

We are having issues getting our refund from them (they owe us 2 now) and they keep promising they will get right on it...but it's been 27 days on the first one and it hasn't come through yet and the other one has been a week.

When you order it will complete and take your money and there is no indication that they do not have the filament in stock and you have to wait for it to be "produced" although a later e-mail response said they were waiting on one of the colors to "come in". 27 days after my order I do not have the filament or the refund. I'm very disappointed, I was hoping to make them my primary filament shop.

Suggestions on where to shop next?  I also like IC3D filament (I can give you a discount code that doesn't expire and if you have Amazon Prime it even has the free 2 day shipping)...their ownly downfall is the limitation on the colors they produce.

I know... Was wondering myself. I have bought all the colors of inland pla in 3mm but that is a limited number of colors.

It's not active!

I've heard a lot about shipping delays from Makergeaks lately. What is your price range? I visited ProtoPasta in Portland this past week and you can't find a more maker business. They make the machine that makes the pellets, the make filament extruders, they mix their own recipes. It is amazing.

I hear people say they like Hatchbox and MatterHackers Pro line. You could contact Tom Newell and sample some Sainsmart but not sure they sell 2.85mm filament?

Also contact me directly, I have some for you. I need to see that machine sometime. My suggestion is don't go too cheap.
