shipdate Netherlands MPC Live
Hi, I've ordered the Live in a big shop in the Netherlands on the 10th of January (the first day that they came online). Now I heard Andy Mac say in a video released last week the MPC Live will be shipped in a few weeks. Can you tell me when the first MPC Live's will be shipped to the Netherlands?
Thank you very much.
Dear regards
Boris

Hey Boris,
Thanks for posting!
Shipping information cannot be handled here on the forum. The best avenue for shipping status inquiries is to contact the retailer with which you are doing business. Please contact the retailer from which you have placed your order for the MPC X for the most accurate information regarding shipping dates.
I hope this helps you!

Thank you for your reply,
I've asked them and they expEct the first delivery in week 17. But you are the only ones who can give a confirmation as you would know when the Live will be done in you factory including the 2.0 software in the unit itself. Do you have scheduled day for the first Live's to leave the factory?

If that is the date that is expected I would use that information. The retailer with whom you are doing business will have the most accurate information regarding when they will be shipping units from their warehouses.

Guys from Akai, you seem to be joking. The retailers are all waiting for a valid information from you. And you're asking us to ask them
WTF
You can be serious on this point.

Not saying that you should be asking the retailer when the product is released as there is no specific date regarding the release of the hardware. The hardware is expected to release summer 2017. Ship dates from retailers are determined by those retailers which is why I do recommend coordinating this information directly with the retailer that you are doing business with.

What about the Q1 that was on the FAQ you give us at most questions ?
What happened so you can release in time as it was announced ?
You must understand that most of us gave Akai and retailers nearly 1K and we don't have any informations on when we'll have what we've paid for.
I must edit to say that Akai is doing business with retailers. I don't. I'm just a customer, nothing to compare.
