The original mail I got from Craig when preordering said:

"Hello everyone, Craig here,

Well the time has come, GP2X ordering is officially open! Because you all
registered on the preorder list you are getting this information 6 hours before
it goes 'public'.

The price is £124.99 (all inc) shipping will be special delivery for the uk
(£4.25) and people elsewhere can choose Airmail or UPS shipping."

And I read that as shipping not included, and since my preorder was GBP 124.99
its worth the GBP 17.something for the UPS shipping ;)
 
I thought shipping was included also. Afterall I did pay 228 USD. I assumed shipping was included in that cost with the VAT. oh well...I just want my lil gp2x in my big hands, oooooooooo.
 
How odd, i never got a 6th hour email, just this one...

Subject :  GP2X is here - The new GP32 has arrived.


Hello everyone, Craig here,

Well, just in case you have been living in the real world or some such, you may
have missed the news that the new GP32 is here, that’s right, the ultimate
homebrew system has a sequel - the GP2X.

2 x 200mhz CPU (dual set up, 400mhz potential)
Custom Graphics hardware
64M RAM + 64M Nand
TV-out (Can connect to the TV)
Divx/Xvid hardware decoding (any resolution, just copy them over from your DVDs
etc.)
320*240 backlit Screen
Linux preloaded
8 face buttons, 16 way digital joystick etc.

Yes, it’s the dream homebrew system, with linux running - so you have the world
of linux as well as the GP32 scene.

How much for this? Only £124.99 ALL INC. Shipping mid October.

Take a look at our new website at this pre-release URL - 
www.gbax.com/indexgp2x.html - where you can check it all out, see pictures, read
all about it. And erm... Report any bugs. 

This email is going out 24 hours before the site is made 'public', so you have
the advantage. Numbers limited before Christmas, but if you get your order in
now you will definitely get one. <<<SNIP>>>

begin the unnecessarily slow-moving dipping mechanism.
 
Something ED wrote in the german forum some days ago:

craig [...] bekommt nun schon ein paar bis Ende Oktober.
Aber lediglich 200 Stück.

in english:
Craig [...] gets some units until the end of october.
But just 200.



ED won't get some of these!
 
I got the email about calculating the shipping costs but I ordered two GP2X's and when I went to pay for the shipping it came up saying £4.25 for the two via Special Delivery I know thats wrong and replied to the email saying about it I've also PM'd Craig but I haven't had a reply yet :(
 
I ordered on the 15th too, I haven't had an email but it does say this

Shipping cost: £ 4.25 (24 hour special delivery)

in my email from paypal, so I assume I'm all paid up. It's just a little worrying when you see people getting emails and you've not had one :)
 
The e-mail did say that they didnt know the weight of the consoles when they took the pre-orders, therefore shipping costs may have been incaurate...so those saying they chose / paid when they ordered must have ordered recently

UPDATE: another e-mail, shipping early Nov
