Boxed Version?

Unfortunately, you cannot download the box version.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Kind regards,

The E-Store is indeed moving slow, but eventually you will prevail. You are right, though, they should order the box option from the get-go.

I'm not sure it's going to be shipped out.

I was just reading on Sweetwaters site that the X1 upgrade for Essentials is 'Special Order' and there would be a special shipping charge. So, in the end, once the Producer upgrade is available from them, it may end up being the same as if you got the box directly from Cakewalk. We'll have to wait and see.

"What Does "Special Order" Mean?
A special-order product is one that we don't normally keep in stock. We order it from the manufacturer as soon as you order from us. We have great relationships with all the manufacturers we carry, so we can get your special order to you as fast as or faster than anyone else. Remember that special orders are non-returnable and non-cancelable, so make sure the item is right for you. A Sweetwater Sales Engineer can help you decide - call (800) 222-4700 for assistance"

I already placed my order for the boxed version of X1 Producer (@ upgrade price), and am just waiting for Sweetwater to get it in stock (the rep I spoke to strongly expected it tomorrow or by the end of this week) so it can ship out to me. I hope to receive it by the beginning of next week!! ><

My ship finally came in.  Waiting some time later in the wee hours in the morning, the boxed version finally appeared on the bottom left panel and I selected it and got it going.  I'm assuming that the strange behavior was caused by the large numbers of people using the store.  As RickPaul said, there was a double entry where I had to delete one.  The free shipping on the box was nice, so that was a little incentive.  I gather that no one seems to know when Cakewalk might ship the boxed version.  I'm just hoping that the downloaded version works and was not corrupted as sometimes happens.  I did manage to download  all of the files.  Let's hope that they all work!

Cheers!

Was there shipping charges? If you don't mind me asking, what was the total cost?

At least for the Producer upgrade, there was a promotional code, highly featured on pretty much all the store pages, to get free shipping through December 30th.  It would have been $9.95 (I think -- give or take a few pennies) otherwise.  Total cost for my Producer upgrade was $128.99, which represents $99 for the upgrade and $29.99 for the box.
 
I haven't seen any shipment notice come for my boxed version yet, but I seem to remember in the past that the e-mail on that often came on the same day the box actually showed up on my front doorstep.  In any case, I have X1 running from the download version now.  It took me something like 15-16 hours to download the two critical files (I'll deal with Dimension, Beatscape, and the extra content when the DVDs come) with my DSL connection, owing to the main file's being corrupted (short about 300 MB of 2.9 GB) on the first download attempt.  Each of those files took on the order of 5 to 5.5 hours apiece.

Yeah was just about to reply to you, Bub, that shipping was free, total came to $99 on the dot :) So they told you Monday for shipment hmm? Hmmm, lookin' forward to it!

You have to order it seperately just like the download.
