That’s a lot cheaper than we’ve payed as early backers 
Especially after my VAT and duty is added but who knows if that price is fixed…
I have no idea where they have come up with those prices, but it isn’t from me.

Hmm… interesting. So what happens if we buy it there at those prices they show?
I’ve spoken with Juno about the matter.
Should be resolved soon.
Pre-order pricing is what helps us get into mass production and also create a bit of buzz.
It’s not indicative of the final price, which will be more in-line with the S2400 by the looks of things.

What! I was going to order at that price! Now look what you have done Stanley l. See Juno have change it now - at £1700 probably will not order - i still need to hear more! Plus anyway you could not by it at that price because Juno don’t let you pre-order until they have stock.
Two things to consider when looking for gear if you are located in the US and ordering from another country:
- Shipping. I’ve been tempted to order gear from Juno, Thomann, etc., but sometimes the shipping costs make it prohibitive. For me it would need to be a really good deal to make it worth it, especially if there is ever a chance you may need/want to return something. Once in a while it works out.
- Importing fees, taxes, duties. There is typically a threshold of $800. As long as the cash value of the item you are buying is less than $800, you should not have to pay anything extra.
Those considerations are important when ordering, as retailers don’t often directly tell you your responsibilities. They may be lost on a page of shop policies that you only notice when trying to figure out why you’re getting charged extra on an item you already paid for, including shipping. Some shippers add extra fees on top of that. I’ve also heard stories of shippers holding packages until fees are paid.
When all is said and done, you may end up paying just as much, and sometimes more than you would if you had done so locally.
Just a heads up for those considering the other options.
