Hi!

January 13th I pre-ordered my MPC X from BAX (when it was still EU1799). Today I received an e-mail for the 6th time it's going to be delayed until Week 42. It slowly drives me insane how this can happen.

Are there any Dutch people who got theirs already? And if so, when did you pre-order and where?

Many thanks in advance!

I'm not Dutch but from the UK, & feeling the madness set in too! I pre-ordered from BAX UK online store in April & for a very good price.
I've still not received mine either, messaged them yesterday as the online stock status had changed from 3 days to 5 weeks.

Got an email back saying that the stock that is arriving is not allocated to BAX & that it would be sometime in October their stock would be arriving...

It's just crazy the situation as Thomman have had them & still do & so have loads of other retailers :WTF:

I could of paid for my Sequentix Cirklon & had it by now as it was my turn on the waiting list, asked Barbara to push it back to the next run nearest to January 18 which she was cool with.

I'm not gonna cancel my order as the price was too good, I'm just gonna wait it out...

Hope BAX get a surprise shipment before mid/end of October.

I just can't imagine they don't have shipments since it's the largest retailer of it's kind in the Netherlands and I can imagine one of the biggest in the UK too.

I saw where it was going with Bax last month and so I canceled mine and picked mine up at Schreeven.nl. The best choice I could have made.. I won't be ordering from Baxanytime soon. I need time to heal the trust..

This is not my experience with Bax though. After pre-ordering the MPC Live i didn't have the cash for it when it was ready to ship to me. They could have thrown out my pre-order so i had to pay full price, which they didn't.
Very good company imo

I think that the issue was related to the fact that the factory had to switch from making X or Live every time a batch is made ready....so not side by side.

Well, I bought a ton of stuff from Bax, but this is the only time things got messed up, but it got messed up kinda big time. I can imagine they are trying to get people to cancel, because it's a EU400 loss per pre-order. Now with the Live it was like EU300 I think, but I don't think it got pre-ordered as much as the X because of the Touch and people wanted to hold off waiting for reviews.

I filed a complaint though, because I really can't imagine they don't have any. It's almost impossible.

I agree, I also bought a lot of stuff from them. This year alone would be around 2.5K. But the way they are handling the X gave me a bad taste..

Dawsons have stopped advertising the MPC X altogether! :shock:
