California FAQ

Common questions from customers shipping from California.

How long does shipping take from California to your Arlington TX workshop?
USPS Priority Mail from Los Angeles, CA reaches our Arlington workshop in about 2-3 business days. UPS Ground is similar. We start work the same day your module arrives, and ship back the next business day with return shipping included.
How much does it cost to ship from California?
USPS Priority Mail flat-rate from California to Arlington TX runs about $12. UPS Ground varies by package weight. Customer pays shipping to us; return shipping back to California is included in the $250 service price.
Do you accept modules from California?
Yes — we ship to and from all 50 US states including California. Most of our customers are out-of-state shops, locksmiths, and DIY pros. Our Arlington TX workshop receives modules from Los Angeles and the rest of California every week.
Is there a mercedes eis cloning (pre-2014) shop in Los Angeles I should use instead?
Most local Los Angeles shops don’t offer mercedes eis cloning (pre-2014) as a bench service — they’d send the part to someone like us anyway. Going direct saves the markup and shortens the timeline. Total round-trip from Los Angeles: typically 5-7 days.
Will my keys still work after cloning?
Yes — that's the whole point of cloning vs key replacement. The donor EIS is written with your original's data so all existing keys remain valid in the new unit.
Where do I get a donor EIS?
eBay, Car-Part.com, salvage yards. The donor must be the same part number as your original (often same chassis + same engine). Email us your part number before sourcing and we will confirm compatibility.
What if my original EIS is completely dead?
If we cannot read the original, we can't clone. In that case our EIS Key Replacement service ($150) is the right fit — we program a fresh key directly to a donor EIS without needing the original.
