Couldn't they just ship the thing assembled? A few bolts? And the reason why the pedals don't come attached is because of moment. It can break the pedal during shipping.

renaissanceman Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I received mine today (S/N 1201), assembly was a snap. Unpacking was a different story - the package looked like it was ready for an air drop into Siberia. My advice, watch the videos on unpacking and assembly.

Lucky Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Is FedEx the delivery service in the USA? Mine still show sitting in customs in NYC due to missing, incorrect, incomplete or illegible export documents. Milan assures me it's no problem and I'm trying to be positive but I'm becoming less confident every day. I'll give it until Monday next week then Milan, as the shipper will have to find out what is going on.

Jim But did yours have problems in customs with paperwork? I've heard other people say the same thing about receiving them even though tracking still showed them in customs. As far as I know I'm the only one that is showing an issue with paperwork.

renaissanceman Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 There didn't seem to be any problem in customs. It cleared in about 3 business days, then was transferred to the parcel delivery centre. When I left home on an errand on the 28th, tracking still showed the package still being in Import/Export processing. When I returned about 1:30, it had been delivered. - 28-10-2015 13:03 TEXAS Delivered. 28-10-2015 07:21 TEXAS Out for delivery. 27-10-2015 12:09 MIAMI Import / Export processing. 26-10-2015 20:57 MIAMI In transit.

Lucky Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Me too!! Hope you have better luck then me. I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered. I doubt FEDEX will deliver it on Saturday so I'm looking at maybe next week now. Which will be closer to 2 weeks, if not beyond. Most people in the US seem to have received theirs in about 7 or 8 days. I bought the RealSimulator FSSB R3, paid $35.00 shipping and received it in 2 days from Spain. I paid this guy $68.00 shipping a week ago and am still waiting. Something wrong there. I know he switched shipping companies recently to give Europeans a cheaper rate. Hope this doesn't become an issue for people in the future.

Lucky Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) Mine was in customers for 4-5 days for some reason. But I can't blame Milan for JFK/Customs delays. hsb Not blaming Milan, but his choice of shippers. My FSSB still had to clear customs and I received it it wihin 2 days includng clearing customs becsuse they used FEDEX from the beginning with in house customs I believe. And, since it's near impossible to get accurate tracking with his shipper, it appears my pedals have been in customs in NYC for 6 days already. Edited October 31, 2015 by Lucky Added info.

I know you're frustrated, but I don't think it would make much of a difference. Because let's face it, when to comes to couriers, they're all awful.
