Thank you, had a look at it, seems hit or miss with the reviews though. Makes me a bit nervous

I went through the same thing basically, I was looking for a mic and interface for two months for prices not double of what they used to be and finally got my budget starter bundle yesterday.

Behringer UMC22 and Behringer XM8500.

And then in a year or two when you upgrade to a second gen GoXLR or something I can buy the 2i2 from you

Those seem like really decent prices, presumably that’s excluding import duties?

Hahaha well if it gets there

Yeah it is, tack on an extra 20% or so for the import duties

Also it will only have taken 6 days to arrive on my doorstep from the USA - including customs. Which is faster than some local players deliver in country.
