Well, E3 starts tomorrow. Thomas had said previously that Fanatec would be showcasing the CSS at E3, so keep your eyes peeled. I'm sure someone will post a Youtube link to the relevant info, right here in this thread.

Stay tuned.

I can't help but wonder what happened to that shipment of GT2 wheels.

Are you implying something? Could you elaborate please?

Thomas,

Any updates on the customs?

Thomas,

I doubt he is gonna answer. he is busy at e3 i'm assuming.

Just wait till you get a confirmation from ups. They are reliable.

I'm surprised that Fanatec didn't get these GT2 wheels out before e3. They may risk the chance of a lot of cancellations. I'm keeping my order, but god damn ship that already!!!

I feel the same way. They are probably still in customs. I was hoping for this week, but doubt it will happen. I am on the verge of cancelling.

I did end up cancelling but changed my mind and got it again Kasey. I was so on the fence on if I want xbox compatibility after playing so many pc sim games. In the end, I decided to order it again. Did you get the Clubsport pedals? If so, you've got the best pedals and can build around it later with another wheel. Plus the 2 year warranty was big for me.

I wouldn't cancel your GT2 order. Seriously, Fanatec doesn't have the greatest track-record with on-time delivery. So, I would bet money that this wheel doesn't make it by the Forza 4 launch in October.

 

[kasey435]

ya, they may have some out by then, but will go on massive back order. Its just hard, cause the wheels(GT2) are so close, yet far away.

Its just sickining. I hope fanatec makes an update at e3 or posts something about them.

 

[sandboxgod]

Yeah has always been my advice not to order a GT2 til E3 since it was so close. but if you already have a GT2 order thats a tough call. Just wait a few hrs before making a rash decision, FM4 presentation should air in a bit on a live stream

Right. Despite having said I would bet on a delay, trust me, as soon as this thing hits the Fanatec store, I will pre-order. I know me that well And I know it will go on back-order if I don't.

Also, that way I am sure to have it by next July if the release date is announced by Fanatec for this October

Considering Thomas is literally a mile from the US Fanatec Warehouse, he should know and give you guys an updater today hopefully, fingers crossed.

And if this wheel is to hit by Forza 4, they better have already made thousands of them, which I hope by now, Thomas was smart enough to do.

I hope we get an update soon.

 

[Gabkicks]

Hopefully me or someone else gets the new wheel to beta test. I'm interested to see if there are any improvements on force feedback response, speed, and detail of effects.

 

[Jump_Ace]

Ordered just the GT2 wheel yesterday so we'll see. I asked support about when they expect to get more in. But since F4 is slated for Sept 1, I figured I'd better get my order in. If I hear back from them, I'll let you guys know what's what.

[djcslice]

I seriously cant believe that it has taken customs this long to search a single container...

If thats even the case. lol.

I am giving Fanatec until Friday morning. If I don't get an email saying it's shipped I just might give up.

Well as i said in the other forum. Someone on isr got an email back from fanatec saying it will ship next week.

I also got an email stating my wheel will ship this week. Nothing yet, but it's only Wednesday. Still not getting my hopes up though...

 

[AGP5000]

Ok, here is the news. I just spoke with Claudia O in the CA warehouse. The wheels cleared customs on Monday. They are working feverishly to process and get the orders to UPS. It will take a few days to get them out. So depending on when you placed your order, you will receive notices by order date.


e-mail from the warehouse,

Anthony, I am glad I could help and yes it is correct customs held this up for inspection for over a week. It really put us in a bind because all the customers are waiting but all orders shipping this week.

Have a great day.

Best Regards,
Please note my new telephone extension is 3550.

What good is it if they tell you it will ship next week, exactly? Nothing they've said so far has been true.

I'd also hazard a guess that they honestly couldn't care less how long it takes and are doing nothing to improve the situation. They already spent your money on the new inventory, it will be sold whether you cancel or not. Their actions speak louder than their words.

 

[AGP5000]

This isn't from Fanatec, this is from their US warehouse/distributor bud. I spoke with her(Claudia Ochoa) not even 1 hour ago. Take it for what you want, but I do not Bullspit bud.

Oh, you mean the people who sent us emails last week saying they were shipping the products... yeah, I can see how they're more trustworthy.

 

[AGP5000]

I'm not hear to argue or stir up anything. I am just trying to help. If you would like her number to call because you do not believe me, PM me. If you give her your name, she can look up EXACTLY where you sit. Claudia Ochoa, not faltermeirer or however you spell it has been wonderful, and always gave me good info.
