Isn’t it just.
I think I need to put myself on a syntakt media ban until mine shows up. I’ve never been this hyped for new gear and the wait is killing me.

All those Syntaks stuck in Cologne… since I live in this city, maybe I should visit the Fedex Hub and see if one falls from the truck

Top tip. Don’t expect “save project “ to save anything when you’re working away within the preset project.
I wasnt paying attention to the “write protected” note when it popped up and lost all my wee jams when I reloaded after messing something else up 
Not to worry, new project set up with a clean slate and ready to go for tomorrows play time. Planning on keeping some banks primarily focussing on a synth machine each. Determined to get something I like out of that chord machine. Finding that the hardest of the lot to gel with.
finally some movement…

I ordered from them a while back (I’m in the US), no customs issues. From their site:
The tax authorities of countries outside the EU sometimes add sales/import tax. If you are unsure of the regulations for your country, please check with the relevant public authority.
For orders from the USA all import taxes and duties are included in the price. No extra taxes should be charged by the US tax authorities.
Are you in Canada ? Seems like it’s different here, I heard some people got hit by customs duties when they received their stuff from Elektron. But maybe this changed ?
Canada here.
I got charged customs fees. Fedex called me about it yesterday,
No, US here. I updated my post with more info.
In the speculation thread, I posted a little factoid about the Ben Folds album Way To Normal. Which happens to include a song called “In Cologne”. Which is where mine has been chilling as well.
It’s a coincidence that’s almost as unlikely as it is uninteresting. I’m glad they’re showing up and meeting/exceeding expectations though. So many aspects of manufacturing and launching a product are uphill battles these days. Put me in charge of any part of it and a whole lot more people would be a whole lot more disappointed. It seems to have been a very solid launch. I’m also glad there are still things that get me hyped up like a kid on Christmas into my mid-30s.

How much did they charge you ?
Booo! No FedEx problems here, but Purolator givin me grief. I was hoping to have some fun this weekend!
Looks like you got mine… well done.
(btw, mine was a special order that had no +Drive, but it had sampling, RGB out, and SCSI. s550takt — enjoy)

Same… I just don’t understand why they keep moving it around like this and not actually flying them overseas.

OUDE MEER, NH
I guess they are coming by way of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
(from Wikipedia)
It is the world’s third busiest airport by international passenger traffic in 2021. With almost 72 million passengers in 2019, it is the third-busiest airport in Europe in terms of passenger volume and the busiest in Europe in terms of aircraft movements. With an annual cargo tonnage of 1.74 million, it is the 4th busiest in Europe.
