Never have i ever seen such a high cost for delivering a small device. This just can't be mainly ups fees. Can anyone check ups prices? I mean if it's not delivery, it's right up deceiving advertising, and i want to think that shapeshift is cooler than this.

They did not mention that the 10$ cost covers the shipping fee. And of course, as a buyer, you are responsible for it. I am not familiar with the shipping fee so I cannot tell if the shipping cost is justifiable or not. Maybe to avoid this kind of confusion, shapeshift should have included that the shipping cost is not included yet, so that others will not get confused, even though it is obvious when you buy online.
This is right, 10$ is only for the KeepKey's hard wallet. If you are far from their Main branch, the cost for the shipping fee is a lot way bigger than usual. But thanks for this thread. Informing the other user about the KeepKey's tactic is a big help to prevent unnecessary payments for buying a hard wallet.
this is the difference between Ledger and KeepKey see the arrow.

Shapeshift is a trusted company and their hardware wallet makes lotta sense, what your are talking about makes no sense at all sorry to say, you haven't use the wallet so what makes you think that it can't outperform ledger ?
He is not saying that it can't outperform ledger. What he is saying that Shapeshift are charging the same amount by covering it under shipping fee. He is just relating it that he can buy a Ledger wallet at same price since they have free shipping option available. You don't have any option here since you already put your KYC details and are left with shipping options set up as according to them.
I think best way to verify is if someone from US tries it just like @magneto said.

I saw on ads on forum about Keepkey hardware wallet. If you visit shapeshift.io, you can see the offer. It's written; if you register and pass the KYC step, you can buy KeepKey wallet just $10.
But truth is different.
Once you complete KYC, you get an email from them. And when you click the link, you can see Keepkey hardware wallet is sale for just $10. From here, everything is going well. But when you proceed to checkout, you can see the shipping fee. It is $38,58 (Cheapest one)! OMG! I can buy Ledger with that price!
I wrote the support but they said, there is nothing we can do. It is a shipping fee and it does not depend on us.
As you can see, don't send your KYC for vain!

Lmao. Classic bait & switch tactics. Give you a sweet deal, then you get talked into it so you complete KYC (what is what they really want you to do from the start), and then really make back their profits from overcharging for shipping.
I wonder if they are charging the same rates of shipping for people in the US. If yes, then this is definitely some shady behaviour going on.
They should at least have some sort of free shipping domestically, or free pickup option to show that they are genuine about their promo.

It is therefore a bait. And it was a nicely-designed one at that. They deserve a thumbs up for their cunning ways of luring people into undergoing KYC. However, it is still a bait and people should not be led by that. Thank you for letting us all know. I was actually a shapeshift user before when there was no account and KYC requirements yet, but when they started calling for their users to create an account and pass KYC, I left their services.

I am sorry but have you checked the shipping fee before doing this? where are you come from?
from my point of view, ShapeShift did not do something wrong here because the hardwallet they sell is at $10 as they promised for.
Did you see on the ads talking about free shipping fee? if you did not see it, that means you are responsible for paying the shipping fee not them.
