It would be worth emailing them to see what your options are.gavie said:This is great news!
I would preorder if Paypal was an option, It's the only way I can pay internationally.
Hmm, probably best to wait for the second batch anyway..

If I'm in the UK and they're coming from Texas, doesn't that mean I'll have to pay import-tax on them?

zacaj said:Sorry if this is in the topic somewhere, but im short on time... Cases will be there on the 15th, so does that mean we start getting pandoras shipped on the 15/16, if there are no more delays?
You mean the full 10000, don't you?craigix said:No, the full 4000. Moulds will be finished just before that date.
What about Canada and Mexico?craigix said:If you are in the USA they most likely will be, yes.
And how slow of a process is the warm up? Are we talking 100 a day for the first 7 or 8 days? More? Less?In October the factory will start to populate 4000 Pandora PCBs, this will be a slow process at first
which will become substantially faster after the initial 800.

Could you clarify for us when the cases should arrive in texas, and how quickly/slowly the initial board production is EXPECTED to go? (for example - will the first 800 be in a day, a week, a...?)

No, the second batch will have to be 4000 due to minimum runs etc. 6000 might be nice to take up the extra cases. I guess a lot of the second run will go to webstores.
I don't know how long the initial 800 will take, a few days, a week, it depends on the results I suppose. Plus remember people have to get used to assembling the console too.
At least the stress should ease as people start to receive their Pandoras

A pity - I was hoping that the worst of the "minimum run" stuff would have left you with the 2000 extras, so you would be able to top up - but a run of 6000 would be nice
