I was about to order the Act Labs wheel direct from Act Labs, until I
discovered that the only shipping options to Alaska was UPS air, and that
was going to cost $50... yeah right!  My computer cost $80 to ship from
Idaho and I'm sure it weighs quite a bit more.  Darn them for being in
Canada.

Does anyone know any other online dealers (preferably in the US), that have
this wheel?  I really want it but dont want to pay an extra $50 for
shipping.
I may just have to get the Logitech wheel, but I'd much rather have the Act
Labs.

From having grown up in Anchorage, I know that many mail order houses
treat Alaskans like they live in a foreign country, not the USA.
Hell, it's only been a state for what?  Forty years now? <g>

There's probably some insurance and customs issues they're trying to
avoid by going with the premium service.  Doesn't mean anybody has to
like it, though...  

Seems like everyone knows somebody that lives Outside in Seattle or
such and usually makes a trip out once or twice a year.  Anybody you
know taking a trip to the lower 48?  Perhaps you can order and have it
shipped to where they're going and they can bring it back with their
luggage?

Alaskans are supposed to be hardy, resourceful folks.  You're letting
'em down here!  <g>

The wheel is probrably heavier than your computer, except for the screen.

My package was 12 kgs, that's a lot for a wheel

Can't you get one in vancouver or seattle and have someone mail it "inter
alaskan" tro get it cheaper ?

Good luck

I just ordered mine yesterday, so I've been through the Shipping info you
encountered.  Suggestion: somewhere on their site is a link to a list of
Fry's Electronics stores and I remember some on the Left Coast...maybe you
could call one of their stores and see if the Fry's mark-up would still be
less than ACT Labs' freight charges?

Got my order confirmation this morning...and busy lookin' for one of DJ's
new sponsor's rigs to come around the corner!
