I'll just comment that as an Israeli team, we placed 3 VEXpro orders this season not via FIRST Israel, but by ourselves.
All of them have been shipped out after 3 days at most, (2 after 4 hours, 1 after the weekend) which is pretty good by all means.
I highly recommend teams to just go ahead and order stuff yourself, the difference in the eventual cost is really not that big.
If anyone needs help with customs, or on how to do the whole order feel free to contact me.
Also, thanks VexPRO, we totally love you guys
