Looks like that April Fools joke isnt so much a joke now? https://www.racedepartment.com/news/fanatec-reveal-new-csl-dd-wheelbase.34/
Fanatec tends to do a lot of hyping in general. I have the feeling that they are indeed super hyped about their own creations, so at least it's honest haha.I didn't got any email from fanatec until now, and i have decided to contact the sales department directly.
As an already fanatec customer , i don't really appreciate how all of this have bern organised and communicated.
Fanatec should at least inform their customers about the entire procedure. How long will it be, who can really order or not the product ?
I don't care about getting the product tomorrow or for Christmas, but i will not wait months without information about when i should be able to order, just because i may then go for another option, fanatec or not
This is not a proper way to deal with people who already ordered in the past.
I may understand marketing , but creating a hype with nothing behind is not a good thing in my opinion. Information from Fanatec is poor and i am disapointed at the moment.
Just my opinion as a customer. Nothing to do with the fanatec product themselves, which are really great
Money up front.With preorder are they charging money up front or only later when it ships?
Is it even legal to charge before shipping?Money up front.
It can happen in the US. Shipping normally gets lumped in with taxes. Fanatec knows the item's mass, and I assume they have worked with their shipping partners long enough, that they can get a shipping quote off of how much mass they intend to ship. So they can simply say they want to send their theoretical item to, West Hell N.V. and Dhul would be able to give them a price on how much that would cost.Is it even legal to charge before shipping?
