Some sort of Joke? (email from Irex) - Page 2

CommanderROR · 06-13-2006, 03:32 PM

hey...don't forget about your german friends...^^

well...now joke aside...if they think you're a b2b customer, can't you buy more than one? There are several interested people in Germany...

Though I must admit that I'm seriously thinking about getting a Hanlin V2...although there are some features from the Iliad I'd miss...like the wacom touchscreen...

any idea when you might actually be getting your device?

So can you confirm the price which they charged you? Pretty-please (with sugar on top)?

tribble · 06-13-2006, 05:19 PM

its 649,- + 20,- Euro shipping (669,-) including tax (89.52EUR)
Thats about the 549,- that was mentioned before.

NatCh · 06-13-2006, 05:53 PM

Yeah, but it's nice to know that that's what they actually charged someone, kind of gives it a bit more authority.

Thanks!

And this includes the travel hub and USB cable and whatnot or do we need to shell out for those separately?

"Shipping & Returns
Products will be shipped from our Stockpoint in Dueren - Germany.

Delivery will take place via UPS - Small Package services.

Detailed shipping information will be send to you by e-mail after acceptance of your order"

This quote was taken from their website...why do they have a stockpoint in Germany???
Not that I mind...^^

CommanderROR · 06-14-2006, 06:20 AM

But I do mind that I can't order...^^
I thought it might work anyway...but it doesn't...:-(

Well...let's see who wins the race then...iRex or Jinke with the V2.

Riocaz · 06-14-2006, 09:49 AM

I tried too, CommanderROR :-/

So... The email address and password... Do you get that from the email from Irex as I can't see anywhere to register...

Pitchfork · 06-14-2006, 12:34 PM

Today is a good day. Have just put my order in for an iliad, so now i can stop biting my nails.

Riocaz · 06-14-2006, 12:46 PM

*sob* not received an email yet

tribble · 06-14-2006, 01:08 PM

You have to receive an Email with a password from iRex.

@Pitchfork: Whats your order number? i Think mine was 349

Pitchfork · 06-14-2006, 02:49 PM

@Tribble: my order number is 372.

I had problems with my VAT id, so am gonna phone tomorrow in the hope that I can get the VAT back. European businesses with a registered VAT id should not have to pay VAT when ordering from another member state. It seems strange to me that Irex quote prices with VAT included when they only sell to businesses.

TadW · 06-14-2006, 06:02 PM

I envy you guys. Once you get your device, would you mind posting your experiences here? I am still struggling whether the iRex is still the best choice given its high price and (currently) buggy software.
