That's a bait and switch type of deal.
Hmmmmm... I'm having issues with having linked carplayer in my matrix now.

Oh, by the way:
The automatic translation of some of your pages actually makes them a whole lot more difficult to understand than the original, english page. But the worst thing about those translations is that you can change the language you want to see using the menu on the left, but english is missing on that list. You should fix that.
Assuming you would pay a fair price for it, I could translate your pages to german, if you want a readable translation.

We're still waiting for confirmation that the factory is available for making this product, what their minimum quantities are, and what the lead time is on components.
I probably don't need to tell you this, Rob, but the faster this comes together, the more tuners that are going to get sold. Many new empeg owners are going the "2 head unit" route simply because there's no tuners available. And once you've got the second head unit installed, there's no incentive to buy a tuner.

Hmm, how does this deal make more units available?
Did they do another production run for this deal?
Did RIO have a big batch of players locked away in a vault that they were determined to leave there to rot till jeremy put a dealmakers spell on them?

Tell me Jeremy, I have one question :
If I order From Europe, what about the AC adaptor that comes with the player ?
Is it European Plug or US Plug ?

This is a batch of players that had been removed from retail a while ago for a specific promotion which did not take place. It was advantageous to dispose of them in one drop.
The benefit to Jeremy selling them is that they are available world wide. The empeg store has been wound down to supply just accessories now. The US eStore will continue to sell whatever stock they have until it has gone.

At this point I am not 100% sure, but I believe all units have US plug. I had ask SB to please send 200US/200EU but they did not think they would be able to.

So does that mean that they were the ones that people buying from the intl store were offered afterwards and that I should expect no further emails regarding that opportunity?

Not the same players, but as far as I know all of those have been sold or reserved as essential service stock (which we will not sell - sorry). Check with David to be sure.

Let me just get this straight. I'm looking to buy one soon so I need the right info and it's been kind of hard to get the facts straight.
First, the units you are selling are in fact the Rio Car, the same one available on the Rio website?
Is it the mk2a unit or are all Rio Car units that revision?
They come with all of the standard accessories that you would expect to get from the Rio store?
Are the 10gb units in stock for $299 through the link that was posted in the first post?
Thank You,
Jon

May I suggest that you edit your web page so that it's made more clear which accessories are specifically for the Rio Car. For example, to someone who does not already know what the accessories look like, they might think the Rio remote is for a one of those portable CD players.

Everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that e-mail receipts are sent when products are shipped, some online stores send them prior to shipment, but that simply means they charge your card prior to shipment (not a good thing). If you get a thank you page at checkout, then we have your order. All shipments will be made Monday as we are working hard with US customs to get the products cleared and delivered to us. Once they are in our door, they will be going out to our customers, thanks for the patience. Our customs broker assures us the products will be delivered today or Monday morning.

Has anyone else got a receipt for their player? I ordered a 20Gig and have, so far, not received a receipt.
I noticed the carplayer site hasn't been updated yet, it still says stock is due in on 1st of Feb.

jammy bugger they tried to delivery my units today but no one was in, they want £44 for import duty as well so there will no doubt be a vat bill to follow as well there is cash down the drain
Still a small price to pay for such a great head unit

How can they charge you import charges when the units were made in the UK? Why do others not have any import charges?

Did you put UK as the country of origin?
I'm not sure this exempts import duty, though. The overseas reseller could well have added value, and in any case you still have to pay 17.5% VAT.
