I've had deliveries say they were delivered and no packages at my house then a day or 2 later it shows up.

Annoys the ever living crap outta me that they'll do that though.

Second week in a row (yeah, yeah...I know), my Scooter-Center order has made it from Köln to Nashville in two days via UPS.

I ordered some hub studs for my new tubless rims, along with a couple other bits n' bobs on Monday afternoon my time. It arrived earlier today after shipping out on Tuesday.

What's really crazy is that by the time the markup of the domestic sources was considered, it was THE SAME TOTAL COST to have it shipped from Germany versus buying domestically.

(For the record, I tried to buy them domestically, but there was not a single domestic supplier who had eight Lambretta hub studs in stock)

UPS a usually about $5-10 more expensive than FedEx on the same order, but I don't actually care so long as they're giving me Scooter Mercato-level delivery turnaround (but only on stuff that SM doesn't have. I know who my Real Friends are ).

I just hope I don't get kicked out of Fast Shipping Club for talking about Fast Shipping Club.

What happens at Fokkerplatz Club stays at Fokkerplatz Club. But you should definitely get tested after you get home just to be sure.
