Just Bought a Controller
- Thread starter uehleinb
- Start date
I just purchased mine on sunday, didn't see the coupon code or the deal on the special edition controllers. Wish I did now though lol. Anyway I am very much looking forward to recieving the item, I did the USPS $39,99 delivery service to England, anyone know how good they are? just wondering if I should plan on recieving the item this week or next.
Many thanks
Many thanks

When I ordered my Viking it was dispatched in the afternoon on 31st Jan, then arrived in UK Customs aproximately two days later!! :shock: (USPS are the sh*t
)
It then sat in UK customs for six days 'awaiting Customs clearance' :roll: (UK Customs are just sh*t :lol: )
I chose to collect it from Parcelfarce depot rather than waiting for it to be delivered, there was about £13 VAT to pay and then the usual £13.50 'Parceltheif statutory monopoly charge' on top of that... The tax was less than I'd expected, thank you Viking/ Einar for the accurate insurance value declared on the package (in my experience exporters often over insure packages to cover their time/ inconvenience etc. in the event the package does go missing, not so with these guys )
Btw once you've got a USPS tracking number you can track it using that number on PF website HERE as well as USPS, just tick the the incoming international parcel box. Then as soon as the status shows it as at local delivery depot you can go and collect it and pay charges, just using the parcel details and some ID, you don't need to wait for them to send the letter detailing charges and giving 15 digit code etc.
*EDIT* I did buy a discount controller btw so charges could differ

We used to overinsure as well. Then we found out that, in the event of an insurance (lost package) claim, USPS does not necessarily pay you for the retail value of the item! They make you 'prove' the items worth - by sending your 'proof' of worth to an arbitrator. The arbitrator then takes up to 60 more days to evaluate whether or not the missing/damaged item is worth as much as you claimed. It's a total scam. I figure if they are only going to reimburse me possibly for raw materials charges (or whatever the arbitrator decides), then it doesn't seem fair to me to have to declare the insurance value at retail price, either!
Plus waiting 60 days is a joke... 60 days is what they advertise, you can actually count on 3-4 months from the day you file the paperwork that your parcel was damaged or missing to the time you finally receive the check.

No no no! Anti-recoil is a new feature in a beta/unreleased version of the macro software. This anti-recoil WILL work on your new macro controller. We are bugtesting it right now. You will have to take a firmware update to your controller when the new software with anti-recoil is publicly released.
