FANATEC shipping prices are a joke!

I got my tracking number, it is USPS and not UPS. So I know it will take about three weeks and that I will have to pay custom fee and taxes. It is VERY expensive compared to Canada Post that is three time cheaper and three times faster to deliver.

Umm, USPS wont be delivering it to you, Canada Post will. USPS just coughs it up to Canada post at the boarder And imo you'll likely get the shifter delivered with ZERO charges. IF anything you will pay your taxes and thats it.

Amazon has 2 day shipping for free and next day for $4 (4, not $40). Yes, I'm a Prime member. Being that I don't pay anything for shipping, does that lessen the quality of items purchased, such as a $3000 TV or when my T500 shipped? No.

Fanatec doesn't have the volume Amazon does, that's why UPS doesn't cut them a significant break to be passed along to the customers. As for USPS, I sent my cousin in France a PS4 (and accessories) last year, it was insured, it was DAMAGED (everything in the box except for the games had some sort of damage), I still have not gotten my $600 check from those (biting my tongue) fine folks.

LOL why is everybody on this site so SERIOUS? I was partially joking but lets be honest here.

Amazon has BILLIONS of dollars subsidized by several different business models.

Fanatec is a tiny ass little company in Germany.

With that, have a great weekend everyone and stop being so damn serious. This is sim racing.

Don't feel bad.
I'm trying to order a G27 pedal adapter for $4.99
They want $12.69 to ship it across the US.
I'm trying to get them to lower that.
