Make a guide for yourself on how to ship products properly

1000 internetz to you mate. Others comment below so this gets pushed to the top of the comments lol

[@jimdouglas617]

That is for sure, I received my Button Module but my big order with my hub, wheel and shifters was ordered on November 23rd and still has not shipped.

[@smokinC5]

@@jimdouglas617 which module? I was one of the first to order the new module and got a delay.

[@matteoaversa2247]

You should follow a guide on how to ship orders in proper time

[@bnrr283]

It's been so long

[@warlock257]

FYI the m5 x 16mm screens to attach the gold ring was not included with my Sparco wheel. Had to make a trip to the hardware store.

[@nouds1290]

Now we only need to wait for stuff to get back in stock... (Qr2, Sparco wheel etc.)

[@luisamaral9598]

Any way to not get it from fanatec is best

[@smokinC5]

Ship stuff fanatec!!!!!! Tell the marketing dept great job but go ship items!!!!!!!!

[@FLEXBLUNT]

Thats probably the only one they have in stock.

[@SprintetRuckwaerts]

But u can't buy it cuz QR1/2 is not in stock and you CANT REMOVE IT so they don't ship it :')

[@CasuallyCareening]

The Sparco R383 wheel rim included in the Monte Carlo bundle does not include the 6 M5 screws to mount the rim and the adapter ring to the podium hub. After numerous delays and about 2 months, how was this overlooked?

[@mattikoch3215]

what boltes did you buy? got the same problem

[@marcomauri1985]

Same here - received today and no screws inside...

[@CasuallyCareening]

@@mattikoch3215 M5-0.8x20mm, specifically for the Sparco R383 wheel rim, since it's about 5mm thick. Basically 16mm + the thickness of the rim. You could go slightly longer than 20mm, like 21-22, but I couldn't find anything longer without going to 25mm, which is probably too long to avoid bottoming out in the hub. I also added some blue loctite.

[@CasuallyCareening]

@@marcomauri1985 I know supply chains are hard, but it's crazy they haven't worked this out.

Original ship date nov 30 then email dec 4 then email dec 18 guess what today is ? Waiting for an email that says Jan 25. Edit: dd+ dec 19 that’s tomorrow let’s see what the next email says 😂 Second edit: got the email about DD+ they won’t make the promised time but they are going to do free air shipping. So I’m thinking very early Jan delivery. This edit: still nothing. At the moment fanatec owes me 2k+ worth of gear both long over shot their estimated dates by 7+ weeks.

[@prozekutor]

They said on their blog they won't work until 10 January. Read the black Friday update 3 post (latest).

[@augustmakesthings]

me too. qr gone in the mail. no hope of getting one for weeks.

Great but when are you going to answer Customer Support emails? You’ve taken my money and apparently shipped my £700 order nearly 4 weeks ago but I am yet to receive the products or even a tracking number ffs!😡😡😡

The shipment tracking number can be found under your orders once you click on “view”…

[@AmazeTase]

@@sandrorebec7256yes, thanks I know but there is no tracking given even when looking at the desktop site as recommended by Fanatec. This company is shambolic now!

[@Wasamont]

dont worry fanatec have no respect, go simucube ❤

[@jameslepavoux3566]

Posting a video rather than actually sending out orders. Ive been waiting over 2 months for my "in stock order". 7 emails, messenger messages and still nothing. Gonna sell all my stuff because they clearly dont like customers

[@DickVanPaiton]

LOL...I am sure the video content creator ask himself the same question every day. Should I perform shipments or will I rather do another video. You are funny...NOT!

[@34dojazd]

Why would a steering wheel like Fanatec not send you the steering wheel base or cancel your order anyway? I have not yet received my first order from this company, which was postponed by a few months, and I am already approaching this company with considerable distance. Contact, organization, shipping - everything in this company is poor...

[@34dojazd]

@opticalslay3r783 It was only when I bought from Fanatec's offer on Black Friday and there was no information from Fanatec about what was happening with the order that I started to look into it and noticed a lot of information long before Black Friday about Fanatec's problems with shipping orders, etc. etc. From my perspective, after the company's shares dropped (probably due to problems), it looks as if after BF they made money (freezing orders with goods they don't have) for the next months, and an ordinary customer waits for months for an order. The company (which I thought was serious), which organizes and sponsors events and is well-known in the racing world, turned out to be an amateur company with a non-serious approach to business. German solidity? This word is an old and outdated slogan, and selling goods that you don't have and lack of contact with the customer are just the tip of the iceberg of mistakes made by fanatec.

[@rickflare6893]

Fanatec sent out my second order but said they didn’t have stock for the first order. Both orders the same? Wtf

[@34dojazd]

@@rickflare6893 It's very strange. It looks as if they had this product, but they got lost organizationally in BF and now they are trying to sort out the documents and orders, while processing current orders in normal times. If it turns out to be true, it will be the customer's total ignorance.

[@JoeyBagZ]

It would be nice to get a single email about my order. NOT 1 EMAIL! Great you want to show off product that look cool, but what about the people who are in order limbo? Other than reading online what’s happening I haven’t gotten anything from you guys regarding my order other than the initial email that you received my order and it’s processed.

[@that_mk6gtistockboy7]

5 emails , 5 of them and I get nothing. Check every morning and night. Good luck. What a bunch of clowns.

[@raidn4128]

Très belle vidéo mais ça serais bien si vous oublier pas les 3 vis m5 dans les boîte nous somme énormément à avoir reçu le volant sans les vis dans le pack podium rally

[@NobbyBootneck]

unbelievable they acknowledge they have major shipping issues due to new warehousing which is causing carnage for customers, yet in the middle of the carnage of their own making they launch a black Friday event lasting a whole week compounding their logistics issues and launch a new flagship product at the same time, which they can't even get out the door. The silence from fanatec is deafening!

[@JavierMares]

Chargeback process initiated, after 47 days, not a word, and no way to cancel/refund. The value of expensive equipment depends on the support and maintenance you can get. If you don't trust the company, that value is greatly diminished. I don't trust a company who thinks it's okay to disrespect its customers this way.

[@okami803]

Fortunately, I have had two CSL Elites(recently went to PS4/5 because of the death of Forza), with flawless operation. Unfortunately, I own the Clubsport shifter, Clubsport Handbrake and CSL Elite Pedals, all with issues. The shifter has to be disassembled frequently to rectify misshifts. The Handbrake failed due to a bolt within shearing, rendering it useless(fixed using random at home hardware). The CSL Elite Pedals are great except for a crack that developed near the throttle pedal which allows the pedal to articulate up that much higher, making Heal Toe difficult. I do use my gear often, but never do I beat on it. The wheel base is the only thing I've purchased used. Everything else has been purchased new, deemed defective, and reported within months. To which Fanatec gave run arounds for resolution before opting to send it in and have it repaired. Unfortunate when the shipping / wait time is measured in eons. Fanatec will not be who I upgrade with in the future.

[@manerisports7937]

wtf you can upload tutorial videos but not deliver functional products and any good costumer service ?

[@bobwilliams3]

Details, details!

[@LeoDavidson]

To be fair, even the tutorial video is late. The product manual (the usual confusing diagrams with zero text clarifying anything) has a QR code and URL that should have gone to this video but went to a blank page or error (depending on browser). It's been on sale for weeks now but they only just published the video. Checking now, the URL *still* does not work even thought the video has finally been published. Fanatec make some decent hardware but seem to be completely over their heads in every other department, and showing zero signs of fixing anything.

[@MrRxc94]

they r not respecting their customers, dont buy from this company lots of problems i ll swap my csl for a moza

[@JoeyBagZ]

Moza caught the Fanatec disease, might have to look at asetek, simmagic, simicube, thrustmaster

now work with GT7 to get button and switch support with mapping.

[@DickVanPaiton]

What the heck should fanatec do to make that happen? Youre raising the voice in the wrong spot. You are not telling the one who could make this change and if you and others don't go the right way to make the request, it might never happen.

[@ToNio-f9d]

Bye Bye FANATEC ! you don't really care about your customers, the management of Black Friday orders is just a scandal... you are no longer the only ones on the market now... It's time to change brands, I'm reselling everything to go to a brand that considers its customers more and is capable of delivering on time without hiding for months behind warehouse or logistics problems... The problem is you and the little consideration you have towards your customers... you really deserve mass departures from your customers...

[@phippsa3]

This is the thing, Fanatec still think they're the only big players, but things have moved on. I don't see Fanatec lasting more than another year.

[@danielwrobel602]

Hello, I've just received my HUB podium and rally module. I'm on ps5 and the shifter doesn't work on any game (ea sport, dirt 2.0) do you have a solution?

[@Luniitaa123]

I hope you answer here please. I have been asking for weeks how to calibrate the ClubSport dd base because it is poorly centered and that affects handling.❤

[@NickThomasRacing]

Would love to utilize one of the video guides but you need to ship all of us our equipment we ordered months ago first SMH. If you are reading this DO NOT ORDER FROM FANATEC. You are literally better off engineering your own sim gear from scratch. They will not respond, or acknowledge your existence. But hey they will happily accept your money...10/10 DO NOT RECONMEND.

[@rivinslive]

Can you attach pedal shifters to this ?

[@DomB_Fanatec]

You cannot connect shifters directly to this module. The shifters are attached to the Hubs (shown in the video at 1:06). The Podium Hub supports both the ClubSport Magnetic Paddle Module and Podium Advanced Paddle Module. The ClubSport Universal Hub V2 / V2 for Xbox has the ClubSport Magnetic Paddle Module preinstalled and can be upgraded to the Podium Advanced Paddle Module.

FANATEC, fix your logistic/warehouse problems! Close the web shop until problems are fixed!!! You are taking money, and not giving a product, wtf?

[@jowpana]

Does anyone know why the ENG button doesn't work like a normal button? Instead, what it does is change the function of the right crosshair so that it works like the left mouse button or it doesn't work. It doesn't make any sense to me.

[@momorious]

Sounds like a weird bug, for me the ENG button is working as it should without any issues (latest firmware required, of course).

[@jowpana]

@@momorious I just found out what it was. I had activated the mouse emulator mode in the enfurance module of my Porsche steering wheel, when I deactivate the option again with the Porsche steering wheel connected, everything works fine. Something strange that the configuration of the endurance module affects the rally module but 🤷

Mine arrived this week, but doesnt allow sequential shifters on the dd pro and ps5. So its useless. Yay

I won't be buying any of your products until you have at least a modicum of a spine and withdraw support for unfinished products. It really reflects badly on your brand when your logo is all over a very poorly performing game.

[@jordancastro5700]

I just bought it today and im considering a return. The game stutters like a mf

[@CasuallyCareening]

Should the game be better? Yes. But it really isn't THAT bad. Locked the frame rate, put on DLSS Quality mode, and the game runs smooth and looks better too.

[@CIA-m1v]

Maybe on PC, but for console gamers those things are not an option. The game is low detail and blurry, yet still has screen tearing. Plus, the career mode is broken.@@CasuallyCareening

[@CasuallyCareening]

@@CIA-m1v Issues like that are a big reason why I quit consoles 10+ years ago. Sad to hear that’s still a thing. Yeah the cost of a PC sucks in comparison, but you can get games way cheaper on average, especially if you’re patient, and just do more with the system overall. And then you can upgrade individual components along the way instead of a whole new console, controllers, games, etc for every new generation. Anyway hope they fix the game for y’all.

[@CIA-m1v]

Thanks. I used to be pure PC, I still have a PC, but also and Series X, and PS5, and I migrated to console primarily because more of my friends play on those platforms now.@@CasuallyCareening
