I was told today they are out of mikes and hope to have more by the end of the week I'd be irked if they are shipping units ordered this week for Christmas delivery with mics and customers who bought and paid months ago still have not had them delivered...

Why do you have to pay shipping for the mic? I was surprised by this. UPS considers my location international so I assume all international buyers that got the XMC without the mic have to pay extra because of the split shipping. The sad part is it could ship USPS Priority for $10, but Emotiva won't ship USPS. This is what I'm trying to work out. This is one of the reasons I deferred - not that the extra postage was mentioned at any stage.

If you ask the US customs agents at the airport or check my passport they would say the United States Of America. But if you ask UPS they do not. I'm in a US Territory, Saipan, like Puerto Rico. 96950

I'm happy to resend it via USPS if that would help you out. Having to pay $100 seems crazy.

Saved about $180 on the cost of shipping the XMC. I'll use him if I need to, but in the past Emo has sent parts and small things USPS Priority, so I'm hoping not to make my friend go to the post office in December if possible.

I had been thinking the same thing. I wait on the reservation list for years (not nearly as long as some). I buy the XMC early with the promise of Dirac. But now it seems a buddy who heard my XMC two weeks ago and liked it so much he ordered one may get an XMC, with mic kit, and activation code before me. It is what it is. My XMC sounds great without Dirac. But considering may also be waiting on the Mac Dirac release... I just seem to be getting bad news and delays on all fronts..... Guess I need to go listen to the XMC to make me happy again.

Received my unit at the end of August and got the Dirac key today. Still no word on the mic kit though.

Holy mackerel, pay shipping for the mike? If I had known that i would have waited for the total package. When the metal remotes came for the UMC-1 they were just shipped off.

Having to pay extra for shipment (and taxes?) abroad would be very disappointing, Has anyone outside the US received a Dirac shipment yet? i received my XMC early September and I haven't heard anything up till now.

Has anyone outside the US received a Dirac shipment yet? i received my XMC early September and I haven't heard anything up till now. I didn't hear/receive anything... I would be really disappointed if could not demo the DIRAC implementation on the 14th of January at the local Audioclub....

I can't imagine this .... How on earth can they ask shipping cost, when they deliver a incomplete product!? Anyway I'll wait and see what I will get in my mailbox. I ordered in August, haven't heard anything yet.

I am getting a little worried now what shipping costs for the Dirac mike for my XMC-1 will be. I am in Australia! Had my XMC-1 shipping notice Early in September. Great question early on in this thread by socketman. Could I use my calibrated umik-1 instead and not get Emotiva to send me their mike hence save quite a bit it seems? Come on Emotiva send me a key please and I will try it out with the mike I already have.
