lewmur Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) I actually received an email this week from Element14, the Canadian distributor, and they say my order should ship by June 30! Yeah. I got the same email. I think everyone got it. But they won't change the estimated delivery date on your order till it just about ready to ship. They learned their lesson the first time around when they set delivery dates and then couldn't deliver. :'( Edited May 3, 2012 by lewmur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LilBambi Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Found this on their FAQ: Where can I buy one? You can buy the Raspberry Pi through Premier Farnell/Element 14 and RS Components. Both distributors sell all over the world. Raspberry Pi FAQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temmu Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 went to farnell uk. filled out a form. site said they'd send me an invite to fill out another form. lol guess we'll see. the ebay link was borked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abarbarian Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 went to farnell uk. filled out a form. site said they'd send me an invite to fill out another form. lol guess we'll see. the ebay link was borked. Link still works here.The pi sold for £135. There are a few more on UK e-bay looks like they are selling for around £120 which is not a bad profit margin at all. Looks like most folk are waiting for their pi to arrive from the suppliers rather than paying through the nose.I'm really looking forward to getting me hands on mine.
