It didn't work initially with the Amasty OPC extension, but their support was able to quickly fix the issue and supplied the patched files. They were life savers in getting this fixed under a short deadline.
Great extension, great support!
Not used any extension from these guys before and took over development where one was in use. These guys provided superb support even over Christmas and New Year and have solved my issue.
They are polite, responsive and understand - this for me is what you really pay for as many extensions do similar things.
thanks again guys

We own a make-up store, and there is a special group of clients that are make-up artists and we allowed fre e shipping and cash payment because they buy tons of stuff. The module supports third party shipping extensions which is great. Had several compatibility issues at the beginning, everything solved for now. Maybe too pricey as new features are not added.

Our customers wrote so many positive reviews about this innovation. It means that extension works perfect. All features which are listed in description were confirmed on practice.

Without any doubts the extension has big potential which can be use for different cases.
Also we are planing to use the extension for our wholesalers to offer them different shipping methods and a big variety of payment methods to choose.
And it should be mentioned that the percentage of our finished purchases has been increased twice.
We are convinced that it is "must have" extension for each who has lots of customer groups.
