Hello all,
I purchased the A1 combo when it came available on October the 16th.
On second thoughts, I decided I wanted the Mega combo because it offered the hardened steel hotends, which I did not see in the accessories section. I thought they would be usefull with some filament types.
So I cancelled my first order and made a new one for the Mega combo.
Something I do not understand is why the shipping price has been modified. It is now €25 instead of €13 as with the standard combo ? There was no option to change this.
You can see the proof below. Any idea how this can happen ?
I’m guessing because those extras have to come in a seperate box, so an additional shipping cost.
But it does seem excessive that it’s an extra 12 euros for that small box.
Maybe. It could be so because they do not want to open the original conditionning to fit the extras in. On the other hand, in my first order I added an extra plate with no extra shipping cost.
As for the weight of the extras, I think it is negligible.
This might be an issue of logistics : you have one shelf with standard combos boxes and one shelf with the extras boxes. You mix them as needed to ship the mega combo.
Yeah + i’ve been told they have several warehouses that they ship different things from.
I get the annoyance though; 12,- almost get’s you another spool of filament ghehe.
If we consider that the free shipping fees apply for purchases above €55, then buying the same accessories of the Mega combo separately, comes cheaper than the Mega combo itself.
So Espariz is right.
But please check by yourself, maybe I am mistaken.
I thought buying the Mega combo it was a good idea at first…
You ordered the first batch from Germany and I ordered the last one (October 16th) from France…
Shipping prices differ for different countries in Europe.
, and with the spanish prices the difference are less than 10$ 
I paid Combo for 551 with shipping to germany.
