Has anyone alse had troubles with ordering a BBB?
I ordered mine, ages ago. The receipt from Element14 gave a delivery date in June... which came & went, no sign of BBB.
Called the company, checked the website: "It was shipped". No records of when, no parcel tracking, nothing.
Oh well, accidents happen. Replace it, please. "Oh, but NOW you have to sign a form, promising not to use it to make a guidance missile". Huh?
"It comes from the USA, it's a US trade thing". OK, another day wasted faxing forms.
Weeks pass...Still no BBB, contact Element14 again.
"You have to wait for next shipment from the UK" HOLD ON A MINUTE - I filled in a form to get a product from the USA, and it gets sent to England? 
So, has anyone else had troubles actually getting a BBB? Because after this hoo-ha, it needs to tap-dance and excrete gold bars to make up for the aggravation.

No problems at all here in UK, they're in stock for next day delivery from cpc.farnell.com (all of mine have been from there), and 910 BBBs are currently in stock at uk.farnell.com so that'll be next day delivery too.
But we don't have an inside path to acquiring BBBs here, since they're manufactured by CircuitCo in Texas, not in UK.
Weeks pass...Still no BBB, contact Element14 again.
Something has gone very very very wrong.
