Title: fc-moto.de
Post by: DucHead on September 22, 2015, 04:02:34 PM
I searched and found a few threads mentioning them, but I thought I would share my experience.

They have a fantastic selection, and the prices with shipping to the US are cheaper than most US vendors -- even with free domestic shipping.  I don't mind paying a little more for things by buying domestic, but fc-moto has a LOT of gear that you cannot get here in the US.

Most recently, I purchased a silver Suomy Apex helmet that I couldn't find here.  The helmet was shipped DHL and fc-moto sent a tracking number.  Once it reached the US, it comes via USPS.  Seventeen days from order to arrival, about half of which time the helmet was in the US.

I can't imagine returning something, so for now I'll only buy what I know will fit but I'm pleased with fc-moto.

I ordered one thing from Europe.

It was not delivered by DHL...they said they couldn't find me...I had to go 120 miles round trip to get it.

About 3 weeks later I got the customs bill from DHL.

Don't be surprised.

Got a suit from FC and no customs stuff has ever appeared. My neighbors ordered from them a few times, no customs.

They just don't like you DP
