Question About Ordering VKB MCG Ultimate Grip

[Dagwoodyt]

I would like to order this grip. I am not used to having to agree not to dispute the charge to my credit card though. Anyone have experience ordering from VKB recently? Also, which shipper to choose, DHL vs FedEx?

From what I hear from people in the US, DHL seems to be the better option.

 

Can't say that I've had bad experiences with FedEx, other than a story from a buddy whose WinWing shipment from China via FedEx got held up for a week or so in customs at Amsterdam airport for "unknown reasons" and he couldn't get any comment from FedEx on the matter. Could just have been a case of bad communication, with Dutch customs being the "real" culprit.

Last year I opted for FedEx and it was here in 4 days. No problems with the credit card at all.  
 

edit: since it doesn’t show our locations anymore, I should’ve said, east coast, US (mid Atlantic).

In the states - DHL by far.

VKB Ultimate Grip - one fine work of art. Truly the Ultimate.

Been a while since I ordered from VKB now.

My Ultimate Grip sits atop the VKB Gunfighter Pro L with 200mm extension, been running this stick setup for some time now.

 

I personally would see no problem in the agreeing to not dispute the charges. I mean you know what they are upfront I reckon unless you live in a country that is going to add VAT or any additional tax.

If that's the case, your CC shouldn't get charged with these anyway. You'll either pay those import-duties/import-VAT to the carrier on delivery (at your door) or FedEX/DHL/whoever will send you an invoice for those additional costs after delivery (plus a "handling" fee).

Ordered on the 13th. Arrived today via DHL with texted delivery notice. Great packaging. Grip looks and feels impessive. Not sure when I will get the urge to swap out my old GFII grip. Thanks all!

You know what they say: Unless we're shown pics ... it never happened...
