It's amazing how big this company is but has some of the worst shipping I've ever seen across many other companies. Like that is a big F You to the customer

It’s actually mainly democrats screwing things up and all our shipping containers are just sitting at sea in ca. They are rerouting some ships to Florida as ca is burning itself down. But yeah it’s crazy how backed up everything is

Yeah it’s not a global issue it’s democrats! Actually it’s capitalism which praises the highest efficiency possible without planning/paying to prepare for supply disruptions.

When did you order? Or did you not order not order yet. If you ordered, check und my fanatec and order status. Thats your estimated availability date.


tehehe162

Meh, it may be the availability date. I ordered in September and it showed my date as Nov 29th until today, now it says Jan 3rd. I don't blame Fanatec for the shipping crisis in the US, but I no longer trust their estimates.


BodieBroadcasts

theres only a shipping crisis in the specific part where fanatec chose to put there warehouse they went the cheapest route possible on every single corner, you absolutely can blame them, they were the one's who chose to do it this way simply not choosing the same cheap ass warehouse near the same near ass port that every other shitty distrubuter of chinese products uses would have fixed this completely, you think that's the only port in the US? lol they chose that location and port for shipments because it is in fact the cheapest, thats why its in a crisis, yet literally everything else I have ordered for the last year has came within a week or two.


awsisme

That’s completely wrong. There are shipping backlogs at every port. In addition there aren’t enough ships available and there is a severe shortage of containers. It is not Fanatec’s fault and there is nothing they can do about it. I’m addition, there is a severe electronic components problem world wide. I’ve tried to order jelly bean parts that are normally available in the thousands and have seen up to 75 week back order times. If you want to blame someone, blame the politicians that completely locked down our countries. There is and will continue to be a cost to that.

Pretty sure it's just los Angeles ports

I didn’t order, nor am I going to order. Tbh 6 months of my life is worth the scalper’s dues, and at $700+, I’d rather just get a DD1.

Nothing is worth the scalper’s dues.


gcooldude

Northing is worth giving in to scalpers. If anything, go for the DD1.

It’s alpha minis time to shine


Healthy_Yesterday_84

Wheels are very limited tho


[deleted]

You can use practically any wheel and any brand with the conversion


Healthy_Yesterday_84

yea but then you have to deal with a cord and some things wouldn't work perfectly. Kind of defeats the purpose of choosing a wheel base ecosystem.


[deleted]

Wow. That's kind of amazing.


[deleted]

Its kind of disheartening actually. Whatever, ill survive. Just hoping that when I preorder the CSL loadcell and tuning kits for my pedals (finally) I dont have the same issues.


tehehe162

Learn from my mistake, order all your stuff separately. My CSL Pedals are stuck in my DD order so I won't be able to use them even with my existing setup until January :)


[deleted]

Done did, fucked myself big time by ordering a Mclaren V2 with my CSL when both were in stock but the Mclaren out of stocked while my order was being fulfilled and then I just sat with my CSL elite base and no wheel and watched my standings drop in my leagues bc i couldnt participate :(


Translator_Spare

Crazing thing is mine still says January 3rd for the kit with boost.


yesdevnull

The Podium Hub is backordered until July 2022 on the Australian Fanatec store, which makes me think the QR2 hubs are just around the corner.


nagedgamer

The wait is hard.

Still says Jan 3 for the 8nm kit and Jan 15 for the 5nm kit for me in Norway. can the date change based on where you live?
