Pre-orders Confirmed For 30th Sept

[Chip]

Was the cost of the item listed on the package, or did customs have to open it and guess?

It was several years ago, so I don't remember if the package looked opened or not. The packing list on the outside had all the real prices listed, so I assume they went by that.

The customs bill I received was from the shipping company, not US customs, and it came several days (weeks?) after I had already received the package.

Hello,

It is my first reply on this forum, nice to meet you !
So sorry for my English I'm French and I'm looking at the project Pandora since 3 month ...

Lot of French and me want to know why you will not send the Pandora ( when she will be in the shop ) in France ? Send to Turkey is strange no ? I think that there is more dev. in EU than in this country !

Bye and thank you for the answer !

I'm fairly certain they only mean that there will be local distributors in those countries. You can just order at anyone of those and they'll ship it to you.

Since France is in the EU, it is very easy to buy the Pandora from the UK (CragiX) or Gemany(EvilDragon). The Same applies for all EU countries.

They will still ship to France. There just won't be a local distributor there. There is a distributor in Turkey and he's one of the key members of the project. So I don't see him being a distributor as strange in any way, shape, or form.

Here is Craig's post about preorders.

We will send out a newsletter to the people on the mailing list on the openpandora homepage saying 'you can now order' and then they can. The emails will go out in the order people signed up to the mailing list.

First come first served.
seriously? So you won't be able to preorder straight from the website then?Yes it will be on the website but people on the mailing list will have that slight head start.What is interesting is that now the date has been announced, there isn't exactly much surprise to those that haven't signed up.

Also, his other post was even more enigmatic:

Sometime between the 15th and the 30th looks right.

We just need to establish some final mass production details before we can say 'yes, it's going to be exactly xx date'.

Depending how you read that, it could be the 30th, so no advance order.

I'm sure they will tell us when they are ready to. They might tease a bit first...

Hi, it's my first post but i didn't join up to try and get the pandora early - honest <_< !
Been reading the forums every day since march and signed up to the newsletter back then so am excited it's nearly here...
Just wanted to say that Craig has been running a good business with the gp2x and other consoles for a while now and the customer service has been great when needed so I think he'll do well with the pandora also. Can we have early pre-orders for those who have given the most money to Craig in the past (got a gp2x, psp and ds)?!
It would be a shame if there was a decision to try and divide up people into who's more 'worthy'. Just hoping it sells out really quickly and carries on doing well

I live in the U.S., so if I preorder from Craig's shop will that mean my Pandora will be shipped sometime in November to gp2xstore.com(the United States distributor) where my name will be on a list so I do not have to pay overseas shipping charges, tax, custom delays, etc...?

I do hope Craig clarifies preorder procedure for those outside the UK. :unsure:

I keep asking Craig and Co. about who the US distributor is going to be, and they don't answer. So it very well could end up not being gp2xstore.com.

Gp2xstore.com will be carrying the Pandora when its launched. We will start accepting preorders near the same time Craig starts accepting preorders.

jr2swiss,

Drum roll...

Debut price in the miserable US $ (thank you big oil)?

ETA compared to UK/EU distinutors?

Danks from the Dam!
