If I want to buy something from the F1 store, how easy is getting the item? If it’s just one small item like a t shirt or a hat. It says stuff about how there might be charges from customs. Do they ship with UPS or USPS or DHL or something?

I got a McLaren Mercedes jacket I think through UPS, but that was from the McLaren store. I would suggest going to the individual team’s store.

I bought a McLaren shirt a few years ago. Took about three or four weeks to arrive at my home in Ohio. Was shipped via Royal Mail/USPS. Didn’t have any customs charges.

McLaren ships outside of the UK through their own store, I would assume other teams are the same. Or are you using the F1 store itself, not buying through a team’s webpage?

They use DHL but their shipping is pricey.

When I ordered my F1 engine from Mercedes there was no additional charges for customs. Kalitta Air was the delivery carrier.

I ordered several shirts once. They came w/ a huge customs bill, because the F1 store puts the full fucking retail price as the value.
