Im buying a GPX2 of GBAX,and it says that the price comes to 142.83 Euro.Is the correct exchange rate to american dollars around 253 dollars.(note this is with UPS express)
 
Most of us have learned, it's just the people who ask the questions all the time are the ones who haven't -_-'

If you're American then why not use GP32Z.com -- Only $190.

$203 shipping incl.

I should know ;) :D

I may have made a mistake when ordering through GP32Z.com (on the 15th). Other than the order confirmation they have not responded to any e-mails (I wrote politley to notify them that there paypal system charges a different shipping amount than their site does, and I wrote again to ask about firmware).

My virus scanner doesn't put attachments on my e-mails (and I turned it off just in case) so I don't believe my e-mail will get killed by their spamfilter, and they have updated their web page twice since I ordered so I know there is some activity at their place of work.

Communications is always the biggest issue with regards to customer satisfaction with me. I don't like spending $250 and then getting stonewalled when I try to ask them a question.
 
Believe it or not I don't have a home phone, and can never seem to find my cell phone when I need to. I usually contact all my friends and colleagues online so I just don't think of using the phone as a first resort. I will call them Monday though, if I have not received a response to my e-mails (and if I can track down their phone number, as it isn't on their contact page.
 
Honestly I have the same issue right now with GP32z not responding to my emails and I even added their IM contacts. Correct me if I'm wrong but there isn't a phone number to contact anyone on their website. If you have one then by all means share because I would like to see if my order actually went through or not.
 
I was able to contact GP32z.com via their AIM account. Aparently there was a miscommunication somewhere with regards to the e-mails I sent, but they assured me that they are holding my unit to upgrade the firmware when it is released.

I look forward to my GP2x.

concur all you want, when they don't publish a phone number it makes it a rather moot point.

LOL, most worldwide financial figures (like the next CPU from Intel, next GPU from NV) as well as most of the online stores over in the states are in US dollars, without different currencies listed.

While it would be nice for there to be a drop-down for selecting your personal currency, ultimately the actual price you pay will often be different. Not only is there the exchange rate (which varies constantly), but the credit card provider often charges commission.

http://www.xe.com is a good site for checking prices. Pity they think everyone is American and is therefore converting to or from USD :rolleyes: :p

Oh, God forbid Americans should actually have to use any other currency than their own.
