I put some X-treme tape (self fusing tape) on mine. It has no adhesive. It makes it look a little ugly but gives a monster grip!

Very interesting. I've never heard of this product before. Is it rubbery?

Yes, it has a very tacky feeling

I used a couple silicone bands, Grifiti Bands (also from Amazon) on my Apollo to improve the grip while grinding...

I am about to purchase an Apollo directly from BPlus, can anyone tell me it there are customs fees associated with shipping this into the US?

Thanks,
Sonny

No import fees apart of my BPlus Apollo direct purchase & delivery.

No fees, but I remember some people had theirs held in customs for a long time (spressomon?)

Are they back in stock online?

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. I've been told that custom fees have hit some countries pretty hard, so I wanted to check.

No they are not currently in stock, but rumour has it they will be in mid December

Nice, I saw they have a green color now. It doesn't match anything else I have but it looks amazing!

Yes, even though my order was placed before a couple other's, my Apollo got held up in customs; it took 2-weeks from order placement to USPS delivery. This was pre-tariff so no knowledge if/how an order placed today might/might not be impacted at customs.

This is just the nature of our customs inspections with imported goods.
