I'm really getting irritated there is still no online US pre-order available yet :/

Yep, placed my pre-order. Eagerly wishing away the whole of next month.
 
pre-ordered mine too (Belgium) and it came with a sweet extra : I get the MS display dock for free with it :)

Shipping 6th december... Fun times coming with my Band 2 coming end of november :)
 
Is there a pre-order going where you get the continuum dock bundled?
 
Wow, that was more difficult than expected. Tried first in Firefox and it tried to add ?529.99 with ?9.34 (expedited shipping) and it made ?627.66! Support could only suggest (after 25 mins) trying another browser, so I tried with Edge and the site bombed out, they said there are issues with the store and Edge so could I use IE11....so did that and the site then duplicated the order and pre-authorised my card twice...they've said they have cancelled one, but it won't be immediate....
If I was a floating buyer I would have given up and gone elsewhere....

Yes, the maths seems a bit off there, doesn't it?

On my invoice, I have:
Shipping - ?7.78
Subtotal - ?449.44
Sales tax - ?89.89
Total - ?539.33

It looks to me that your "subtotal" is the cost with VAT applied, and then tax has been applied again. Your sub-total should be ?449.44, same as mine. You have more postage though, are you in Jersey, where the tax is different?
 
Oh, received pre order email 3:30am, just saw it now, went to order and just says 'email me when available' bummer! Hopefully it'll be available in waves throughout the day so the site doesn't crash or something!
 
No, straight UK. They've just mixed at matched what is VAT incl and not, then just added VAT on again I think. I wonder if that is why they have taken them back off pre-order, not stock management, but that the web-coding was knackered.

Ok, just wondering why you got charged more for shipping than me. Looks like your shipping cost has also had tax applied (20%).
 
Pre-orders are live again now - bagged a white 950 XL w/ Quidco cashback, woop.

Once it was all sorted out my numbers matched yours....
 
Yeah I'm still deciding whether to pre order it or not. I'd like to feel like I'm getting s good deal by trading in my old phone or getting a dock etc, plus I might want to see one in real life before pulling the trigger.

Decisions are hard.
