Hello Squarpies! Rhythm Droid here. I’ve been using tabletop MIDI sequencers since the 1980s so I was _instantly_ sold on the HAPAX upon seeing it! But alas! I didn’t have $1000 lying around to take the plunge and now it’s backed up till June. Big congrats to the Squarp team, you deserve it! What do we know about the delivery strategy to Squarp’s retailer network? Was the first production batch entirely dedicated to website sales? Are there some also being pushed out to retailers? I _need_ one of these like a fish needs water ahhaha. ; ) ---

Hi @RhythmDroid, Unfortunately, retailers won’t get units until the second batch either. Cheers, ---

OK, good to know! Thank you for info. I’d better get my pre-order in soon, then! Congratulations on a very well-done launch. 🍾 ---

> [@Thibault](#): > > Unfortunately, retailers won’t get units until the second batch either. I’m so sorry if I’m misunderstanding but could you please clarify: 1. Retailers **will** be getting second batch units. 2. Retailers **will not** be getting second batch units. I’m very interested in HAPAX. It looks amazing. Since I’m in the UK though, I’m a little hesitant to place an order direct with EU-based businesses since our government has made such things painfully complicated for all involved. It’s tough to guess how much items will cost in terms import duty and associated fees. I noticed that Juno has [HAPAX listed as forthcoming](https://www.juno.co.uk/products/squarp-instruments-hapax-professional-standalone-sequencer/868177-01/). I know you are experiencing unexpected demand but are you able to give a rough estimate of when they or other UK retailers might receive stock? Many thanks and congratulations on the HAPAX launch! ---

I have one sitting in customs in Paris at this very moment. I’ll let you know how it gets through (if it does…) ---

> [@jamesstiff](#): > > 1. Retailers **will** be getting second batch units. > 2. Retailers **will not** be getting second batch units. Option 1. The ETA is June 2022. Please bear in mind the current state of the electronics market makes things quite unpredictable, so the ETA _may or may not_ change as time goes by. ---

UPDATE: > [@Retailers delivery schedule UPDATE](https://squarp.community/t/retailers-delivery-schedule-update/6992): > > As our backorder list grows daily, and components for making Hapax units are getting harder and harder to come by every day, it is becoming increasingly unclear whether retailers will get units from the next batch (batch 2 ETA June 2022). You may have noticed some retailers announcing Hapax as “Forthcoming”, or “On backorder”. Please note, no talks nor agreement have been made with any retailer yet. While the ETA for batch 2 remains June 2022, please note it is subject to change. We are hard … @jamesstiff ---

Mine is arriving today. Actually was picked up from Squarp on Monday afternoon, so very quick turnaround. Customs and VAT charges came to £150, if you are wondering. ---

> [@Thibault](#): > > Please bear in mind the current state of the electronics market makes things quite unpredictable, so the ETA _may or may not_ change as time goes by. My Hapax is due for delivery on the 14th, now in the US. The import duty on this was $42.38.
