The last mile is always the longest. Delivery delayed until tomorrow. Living in the middle of nowhere does have some disadvantages I guess.

heads up to Canadians - expect to pay customs.. mine is $70 cdn in customs. Also took a LONG time for shipping, since I was in that first batch and it's only arriving hopefully tomorrow? Maybe snowstorms had a part in that, but customs held it at least a week too. Hope its worth the wait/price!

It’s a killer preamp once you get it. I’m having a lot of fun with mine. Going from guitar-apex-mooer radar-scarllet it produces a fantastic range of tones.

Unfortunately with Customs it's a crapshoot. Sometimes you get hit, sometimes you don't. Either way I hope that you love the pedal!

I actually inquired with Horizon and they advised me that if I request my apex to be shipped USPS that's do able. That way you won't be hit with FedEx ridiculous customs charges.

wish I knew USPS was an option back then.. I dont even think it said FedEx on the website when I ordered, just "shipping". I'd be more hesitant to order if I knew it was fedex from the start =[
That being said, it is a good pedal. It is dead simple to use, and sounds great. Do I like it more than my AxeFX II or even Atomic Amplifire? I dunno.. (I know it wasnt made to compete vs them) but I'll probably keep it around in case I start up a smaller pedalboard - if this was a $150 pedal, it'd be a slamdunk.. I don't really buy pedals much though so maybe $300+ is the standard rates for preamp pedals these days.
