I agree bro, there needs to be some agreements made between the UK and EU to smooth this over but I feel like the political will isnā€™t there.

Can you give me any logical reason why parcels from China can arrive at your door quicker than ones from the UK? There isnā€™t any explanation in my mind, as far as I know we now have the same status as China - should be exactly the same

The only season i can think of is customs. Especially the the rules regarding import into EU, especially Germany. These are basically defaulted. China and the likes, and thus the delivery companies, have special trade deals with the EU, regarding bulk cargo and stuff. The UK had those too, but yeah, not anymore. I donā€™t think there is any evil intention behind this, but when customs donā€™t have guidelines it can take ages.

Though customs generally is shit, thatā€™s why open borders are awesome.

Edit: I mean just look at this shit.

Oh and also: China has a lot of warehouse companies in Germany, who are basically just there to relabel packets and accelerate the whole process. Such as Delivery WH:4PX Express GmbH for example. They put all parcels in one big box, get bulk customs deals, and thatā€™s it.

WHY, that looks like too much effort :joy:

I also had one parcel that took 8 Weeksā€¦ I think in the beginning they had warehouses full of boxes and that pile needed some time to get through customs. Now things are pretty smooth again.
Brexit and Covid B1.1.7 in one hit was just too much in early January. Little staff and big workload + confusion add up to big delays. Currently we can get products to our customers within 4-7 Days.

damn people would stare at me with hate when I put a little 20W speaker on my board. I feel like they would be running after me with flaming pitchforks if I did this.

Initially got a L since my head is ~59cm, it was way too tight! The XL is perfect, TSG definitely sizes small. That Matt Blue thought :ok_hand:

@Andy87

Free ride is a term that means you are free to ride the track without restrictions of a racing class and equipment regulation. It does not mean that it is free to come and ride.
Just so you know. This event cost me thousands of dollars and the only way we can keep these races going is to charge people for the event. And just so you know I donā€™t make any money from these events. Any proceeds above the track rental go back to the racers.

:sweat_smile: yeah I hope you didnā€™t feel offended. It was just meant as joke as itā€™s funny to see the work free next to a price list.
Iā€˜m aware that bills need to be paid to make a race day possible and I didnā€™t meant to say that you going to do that just to get richā€¦
Track is looking amazing by the way!
