Well folks i got reciept from fed express, that my stage 1 is in route to me should have it soon.

 

Can't wait to see your review man!!! Won't have mine till Feb

 

Jeff - Mine stated Jan. 28 as the approximate date for delivery. It says it was shipped Jan. 15. Should it take 2 weeks or is FedEx covering their butts and it should get here sooner?

 

I got a similar e-mail. Shipped on 1/15 and due on 1/27. A while back I ordered some other parts from Canzoomer and he shipped them via the Postal Service. I had the package in 5 days. So what is up with FedEX? For how much they charge you would expect them to be a little more prompt about delivery.

 

I don't even mess with FedEx. USPS Priority Mail is less expensive most times and they get it to you in 2 to 3 days. JMO!

 

I can not see how fed express ground can take that long, i think as time goes by the dates of delivery will change.(maybe because of customs also) i do not know why he just did not ship the by plane.

 

More than likely it was a business decision that resulted in a reduced cost from FedEx over USPS and flying it would be that much more. Just a thought. Though $55 is still pretty hefty, IMO.

It will get here when it gets here I suppose. I'm just happy that I got it for 5 Ben Franklins instead of 7! :D

 

For about that same price, I got an Arai helmet from Japan shipped Global EMS (US Postal) and I got it in about 5 days. So for it to take that long from Canada seems kinda whacked.

 

My was posted on the 15th of january and arriving 20th all the way to AUSTRALIA SO NO COMPLAINTS ON MY BEHALVE go FEDEX GO .

CZ's order form states that Stage 1 shipping cost is $25 to the US.

 

Ooops! I meant $25. Thanks for the correction, RXhusker!

 

That's odd - I was charged $55.49 for shipping.

 

Doh.. zoomer probably got confused and sent yours to some cat in the middle east. hahah! Let me know if your flames disappear with the ecu mod.

 

Harddata (Canzoomer's company) have a lot of experience shipping stuff all over the world. I've seen some of the results. His quote: "This is a UPS free zone" is for a good reason (how DO you manage to crush the processor chip when you ship a computer???). Someone mentioned the international parcel post org. - he likes that method, but there was some reason he doesn't use it to the US.

He uses Fedex Ground (different branch than "Fedex air") because the price with performance are the best available. I believe customs clearance is included in the price. That alone costs $35 or so when bringing stuff into Canada via UPS.

 

Use UPS Guys....."What can brown do for you?"

 

RX-8 Friend,

Thanks for the explanation of the high shipping charges. I also looked up the rates on FedEX.com and noticed the high prices first hand.

I can't wait to install it and I view this as just being another small price to pay to get the car tuned properly.
