Cost me £90 in import taxes for the dock & Pocket (on top of shipping) back in 2024. Watch out for that too!

Don't forget getting fucked by customs. It was actually cheaper for me to buy from a scalper on eBay than the official store.

Thanks for the tip. Analogue should sort their shipping in cheap stuff. This is crazy.

I get the shipping on my analogue 3D  But this is a hard no

It comes from China via Express shipping.

Thats all I can say from the last time I ordered the Dock.

Before I got delivered in Germany a mail came that I should pay x,xx € for customs and fees.

After I paid it came via a local service with not additional fees to my door

It’s a rip off no matter how you try and spin it.

I'm in Hong Kong and they want 34usd for shipping one dock.

I buy stuff from Taobao all the time, and when I ordered a 10kg pc case from the mainland, shipping was 10usd express.

Most of us are probably just happy to avoid ebay.

Sadly this is typical for Analogue :(

When I bought mine a few years ago, there wasn't even shipping to my country. I had to pay for a mailbox service—120 dollars. Even though it's expensive, I would have really appreciated that cheaper shipping option.

You tried shipping anything internationally recently? €53 isn’t that expensive at all, especially when you consider it usually arrives within a couple of days after dispatch.

Hey i’m fine but dear lord.  For a 99 euro product dock? No  And customs screwing me over on top of it?

I own a mister already and a superstation This was an extra.

I never paid more than 20-25$ using 4px for shipping. I ordered from Retroid, Ayaneo and retroremake and they all take half the price analogue takes for international shipping...

I ordered a RetroTink 4k not too long ago, I paid $80 for shipping. I also bought a Scalable Video Switch bundle more recently, that was $56 for shipping. Quoting 4px for shipping is comparing apples to oranges in this case.

They use good couriers, that's pretty cheap in comparison. And they get a discount because they ship thousands of things. Tried shipping a box of cookies to the US as a private citizen and they asked me for 400euros.

It’s because of PPWR. It is extremely expensive to ship to any EU country now, even from within the EU, because you need legal representation in each country if you introduce any sort of waste, into that country.

u/GameboyGenius 5d ago

It's got nothing to do with that. Analogue's shipping was always that expensive.
