pre-ordering the actlabs pedals

I'm checking what ordering the clutchpedal system would cost me: 59.99$ is cheap BUT: add 25$ to get in in belgium by parcel and add another 16.15$ taxes. That makes it 101.14$?? That almost doubles the price given on the site! I'm sure they can't do anything about the taxes but sure the parcel doesn't need to cost 25$ does it? I have patience so I don't care if I have to wait 3 weeks to get it instead of 5 days or so. Please give us the option to choose between fast but expensive delivery or cheaper and slow.

Hello, Yes, I agree with you that $25 is a lot for shipping, but it does need to be shipped via air from North America. The other option is to order it directly from: www.psxshop.com Also, there is a "possibility" that we will be carrying the Performance Pedals in our EU warehouse. The reason we do not offer postal delivery service is that it is not possible to track the shipment accurately. The risk of losing such a product is prohibitively high.

Hi Tim I agree, its a terrible price to ship it to N.Ireland too. $45 for German Courier. I could fly myself to germany and pick them up for that amount (seriously). Raymond, is there any way to get them stocked in the UK a little more widely? There are alot of us UK guys would love the pedals, but the postage is horrible.

Actually mine goes from $79 to $142.79 Which is a very scary big figure ;) Ash "Ashley McConnell" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9outg1$7ch$[email hidden]...

Yes, if there was a UK supplier, I'd not only buy the pedals, but the FF wheel and shifter, etc, too. The fact that I have to order them from abroad, combined with the shipping costs is definitely putting me off. What if I have a problem with it? Then I've got to ship it abroad for repair, etc. Surely somewhere like Dixons would stock it if approached? R. "Ashley McConnell" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9outg1$7ch$[email hidden]...

Richard, http://www.softwarefirst.com do the wheel and shifter, but when i asked them politely if they would be getting the clutch pedal in I got a rather blunt email saying nothing much at all. All the best, Ash

Getting a european distributor to carry it would be a very good idea IMO... I know there's a lot of europeans that are looking at getting some ACT-LABS products - me included... High shipping cost can make that trend turn though. -- ed_ "Raymond, ACT LABS" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Hello, > > Yes, I agree with you that $25 is a lot for shipping, but it does need > to be shipped via air from North America. > > The other option is to order it directly from: > www.psxshop.com > > Also, there is a "possibility" that we will be carrying the > Performance Pedals in our EU warehouse. > > The reason we do not offer postal delivery service is that it is not > possible to track the shipment accurately.

Ok, how about you send me a plane ticket to Canada and then one to Germany and I will bring over as many as I can . . . I'd love to visit the Ring :-) SLG "Ed Solheim" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Can you imagine getting those pedals etc through customs? the xray techs would go nuts trying to figure out what you have there. dave henrie "Steve Garrotto" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

What's customs? :-) No those are spares, I use lots of wheel and pedals really. No really. SLG "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Hello, Have you tried: www.softwarefirst.com www.psxshop.com www.act-labs.de We do have shipping centre in Holland that makes shipping a little cheaper, but I admit, shipping costs can be high. It's just that the darn shipping weight is over 30 pounds for just the Force RS and RS Shifter.

Actually, it was not too bad getting through customs. When we were at E3 in May, we hand carried the pedals and didn't get too much trouble. We did have fun time explaining why we would have pedals with us. Now, when I travel, I just say video game industry and that's usually enough to get them off my back. :) Non gamers just don't get it.
