They should at least tell you they are going to charge a "HANDLING" fee or just change the price to $65.00 for the frigging clamps.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I ordered a set of V band clamps from Fabspeed. Cost $60.00. Shipping $9.00 (PA to VT via FedEx). Just as I was tossing out the FedEx package I noticed the invoice had a $5.00 dollar "HANDLING" fee. What is this? Five bucks to put clamps in a fedex bag? They should at least tell you they are going to charge a "HANDLING" fee or just change the price to $65.00 for the frigging clamps. That's just a $5.00 profit to Fabspeed and it's BS.

POST 2Original post

Solihull, I absolutely agree with you! I recently ordered one BMC F1 air filter from them. I got charged $15 in shipping PLUS a $5 "handling fee". They didn't tell me they were charging the fee before I paid either. When I got the filter, all they had done was slap a Fed-ex sticker on the outside of the BMC box. Besides the fact that the "display" box was beat to hell, they didn't even do anything. Here's a little lesson in business terminology for fabspeed. A "handling fee" is meant to cover the cost of materials and labor in padding and packaging an item. It does not mean you "handled" the box as it went out the door. Oh, and yes when we own $100k vehicles, we are picky, we do expect great service, and we don't like to be nickled and dimed. Producing a quality product is only part of the equation.

You'll find the v band clamps are junk anyway, I ended up using oem porsche 996c4s clamps, a 100x stronger, won't loosen. Yes, handling charges are bull****, if you wanna raise the price 5$ across the board do that instead. I would've returned it for a refund.
