Mmmm, well you better put that info up on your website else you're going to loose a lot of (international) business.

I think even the price for shipping it within the USA is way too high. Let's face it, an aluminium knob like that weighs close to nothing and is tiny. You can easily send it in a bubble envelope through regular USPS mail. I bet shipping it to Europe would then cost less than $15,-, priority airmail.

I've ordered several things in the US (last thing was 2 Suzo Inductive joysticks + a pinball knocker, so a lot heavier and in a box. The postage for that was around $17,-

It's amazing that USPS can still handle these prices considering "the high price of gas in today's world"......come'on Dave, you don't believe that stuff yourself do you ? Yes that could be a couple of cents more, not 10's of dollars....



David, your spinner looks like a great quality product, I'm not critizing you or your product, I'd just think you'd get more business if you could offer alternatives to the default shipping. As you indicate you do, but don't forget people could very easily be turned off by the high shipping quotes from UPS.

Hi guys,

Let me try to add a few more thoughts on this topic.

Shipping from Apache Controls includes a few additional things worth mentioning.
  1. Quality packaging materials
  2. Delivery confirmation with Signature
  3. Package tracking
  4. Insurance

This is done to ensure customers receive their items on-time and in factory working condition.

We do not make any money on our shipping as there is no markup what-so-ever on shipping.

This is a company policy which will not change.

Agreed, this additional information on shipping will be added to our website soon so that folks who want to use alternative delivery methods can contact us for specific arrangements.

Great idea!

As time goes on, shipping from Apache Controls will most likely include additional default carriers. But this will be done only when a specific carrier can help deliver value to our customers above and beyond shipping with UPS today.

Thanks for the feedback.

  :)

Awesome to see apache willing to work with the customer on special shipping options. This oozes of great customer service and I will absolutely be patronizing their business in the future.

edit: whoops, was going to recommend usps as well, but didn't catch that ya beat me to it :)

I tried US->Netherlands and set the package weight at 1lb:

Airmail Parcel Post      4 - 10 Days $17.50

Seems a heck of a lot more reasonable!

FYI,

If it's just a spinner knob, then wrap it in bubble wrap put it in a usps global priority mail envelope, and ship it to the netherlands. $5.25 and done.
