This popular deal is back. I've ordered this a few times now and have always had a great experience with it. The spools themselves are usually pretty crappy, but after going through about 20-30 rolls, I haven't had any major problems with the filament.

How long is shipping from them typically? Slow boat from China?
I've placed several orders with them, all of my orders have been out of FL and typically delivered in 4 days or so... I live in GA so it's not that far for them to get it here quickly.
I've gone through a few rolls of this and have to say, it's definitely budget filament. The printing temperature varies among the different colors and I've had issues with the white filament having some sort of black deposits which clogged my hotend multiple times. I've read about issues with the white filament elsewhere so I won't be buying it anymore. I've only been able to print at 225C or higher. With the light blue color, I have had issues with underextrusion after retractions and I've tried many different things to improve this issue but it isn't completely gone. I've had the best experience with the silver color but because of the high printing temperatures required, overhangs are often not so pretty.
I don't print things that require a perfect finish most of the time so I'm mostly satisfied, however if I did need to print something with a perfect finish, I would use a different filament.
If you do end up buying this, be prepared to spend some time calibrating each roll. Each color behaves differently and simply don't buy the white filament.

Ironically, two of the colors you mention are the colors I am having problems with. Silver which you said was good for you seems to vary in diameter and gets stuck in the extruder. The light blue is not straight. It zig zags back and forth. Not sure how to explain it. See attached. I will be calling them later this morning.

Will wait a bit more for single roll.

Shipping was super fast though.
