I recently ordered the BD500
I recently ordered the BD500. I am located in Europe and I decide to order from Ancel as they promote they ship from local European warehouse within 1-3 business days. This was very important for me once for ecological, time and also import cost reasons. As soon as I received the shipping information I saw it was ship from HK. Not only took the shipment more than a 10 days Fedex also charged me €19,49 for customs, taxes and service. Ancel already charged me with €11.95 for shipping. If I would have know this, I would have ordered somewhere else. The product itself works fine. Update Oct. 6, 2026: ANCEL Support contacted me an explained the process. The part ships automatically from HK if the European warehouse is out of stock. They understand my frustration about the automatic part and granted the refund of the additional import costs. Even if I am frustrated about the process I am really happy about the support mentality. When something goes unexpected, own it and solve it asap. I really appreciate that. Thanks a lot.
