Hey can this chair be shipped to Stuttgart, Germany.
sachinmourNo, it can't, without incurring huge shipping costs, since the stock for this drop is in the US. But you can buy it direct from our European distributor for much less than would it cost to ship http://akracingeurope.eu/

AKRacingAmericaI know the drop is about to end but for the next time I think you should offer international shipping at the expense fo the buyer. The only option to buy a gaming-style chair in Argentina is DXRacer and they cost 800+USD. I'm sure there is a similar situation in many other countries. I'd be more than willing to pay 100+USD in shipping to be able to join this drop.
I understand. But the problem is that it is not just $100 but more like $350 plus customs fees. AKRacing chairs are sold in Argentina, it appears http://listado.mercadolibre.com.ar/ak-racing

AKRacingAmericajesus christ 350USD shipping!??? that's by air mail though. I'm sure if there was a distributor here who imported pallets on a container then the price would be much lower than that.
Yes, it appears someone has already done that. The link I provided is to locally available stock.  Those appear to be in stock. They even have a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/AKRacingArgentina/ You can't compare prices on sites like Massdrop to locally available stock. They have costs like import duties that we may not have for stock available in the US. These can be quite steep. I don't have any specific information about Argentina but I know gaming chairs are subject to a 40% duty in Brazil. Plus it probably costs more to bring containers to Argentina than the west coast of the US, so that increases the cost of each unit beyond those other costs.
