Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I tried to order a new CMM2 from Rictec, but several things seem to have gone wrong:

It never asked me for a name and shipping address. I tried to send them a message but when I clicked Send, it told me that I didn't check the 'I am not a robot' checkbox. But there IS NO SUCH checkbox.

Has anyone else had problems like this with their web site?

I just ordered a CMM2 from Rictec.  It was successful.  I did pay thru Paypal,
so it did not ask for an address

Well, if Rictec takes my buyer info from Paypal, then perehaps all is well. But according to their web site, they ohly had one unit in stock. I wonder whether crazycloud or I will be the winner?

It is not RICTEC but RICHTEC. Search for richtec.nz

I'll check with my website people - they ARE in the process of updating their older website admin software, so perhaps it is related to that.

I have your order, Bill, and a new batch of CMM2's just arrived today, so you will be getting one of those.  

....and I will update the website stock numbers.

The way PayPal seems to work, is that IF you already HAVE a PayPal account, it just auto-inserts your address and sends that to me.

If you DON'T have a PayPal account, it asks you for the address.

I'm also trying to work out how to get PayPal to request phone numbers from anyone now, as NZ Post require both email address and phone number now, for ANY international shipments.   They didn't used to care about that, but now they do.

No, it's RICTECH!!!!
You're both wrong, but I don't care about spelling so long as you can still find me here or via my website!

Or instead of searching use this:- https://www.rictech.nz/micromite-products

Edit.
And keep a copy of it.
