  • Greatest service ever!

    The equipment are in new and good condition. The shipping are really fast after making a payment, they send a package in next day. I am ordering product from Thailand. To be honest after comparing price, Extreme meters is the best price in product and shipping.

  • Urgent need for my K2 winter expedition.

    I needed urgent for my K2 winter expedition. I was on the last min and needed the goods to be sent in Iceland. Their chat online worked 100% and I was able to add on one extra peace even after I checkout. They send with UPS same day and I had the package 3 days later here in Iceland. Extreme Meters works and has good service I recommend them.

  • Greatest service ever!

    The service was prompt and cordial. The Kestrel is used to measure wind velocity and temperature when applying pesticides for agriculture crop production. It is also used to measure weather conditions for livestock comfort.
