I just went to see how much I paid at it was $85! Adding another $50 is just daylight robbery.

I'm literally going to be paying $130 in shipping for a $180 board. Someone may think I live in remote Africa or Antarctica!

that’s completely insane. will it not be delivered unless u pay 50 or was it just to be faster or more convenient or whatever? i feel like it can’t be legal to have an out of nowhere 50 charge to get ur product

It was provide an alternate address we can deliver to at this price or else pay the extra fee. After waiting a few months and already spending over $250, I wasn't going to say I didn't want it for $50 more.

I think it by default gets moved to a DHL rather than their local post when I pay the premium.

Either way, the LEAST they could do is have an automated message saying they were shut for a few days rather than leaving a customer hanging.

oh i get the situation now. yeah that’s fucked. these companies should really pay out of pocket for this kinda stuff. any larger of a company and things like this wouldn’t happen, very unprofessional of them.
