Latest update on Raspberry Pi shipments, April 18

18 Apr 2012

Hi Everyone.

We're pleased to announce that we received our first batch of Raspberry Pi’s last Friday, April 13th. They were all shipped out over the next few days to customers across the globe-- to members in Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, Ukraine, and the USA. (....and Hong Kong, Indonesia, India, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam - updated 19th April)

24 30 countries in all!

We expect to receive our next shipment early in the first week of May. Shipments will be made strictly in the order that commitments were received within each region-- Europe, Asia, and the Americas. We will send each of you an update email as soon as we can confirm your delivery date. (You'll also get an email letting you know when your unit actually ships!)

We're working hard to get your unit out to you, and will send you more information as soon as we get it-- we promise!

We now have over 100,000 confirmed orders for the Raspberry Pi across the world. Everyone who ordered before 18th April will definitely receive their Raspberry Pi before the end of June. Those placing new orders from today can expect a July delivery.

Customised cases will soon be available for your Raspberry Pi’s! You'll soon see them here in the Raspberry Pi group. Also, check out our other Raspberry Pi resources, including: beginners guides, operating system downloads, unboxing videos, and other valuable info.

Thanks for all of your patience and enthusiasm!

Is there any difference between signing up and actually pre-ordering (credit card info and all) in terms of when a order might be received?

This whole debacle has an air of the "Clive Sinclair 28 day delivery syndrome" about it from way back in the 70s.
These problems, especially with the to-type testing simply should NEVER have happened these days.

I ordered mine March 16th and it still shows an 'estimated ship date' of August 16th. By the time it gets here it is likely going to just sit on the shelf as I've moved onto other projects. At this point I'm starting to feel like this thing is nothing but vaporware... *sigh*

Not to be a downer but going nearly two months with no update at all on your order is a little lacking in the customer service department.

oh, they tend to forgot that Italy is part of EU too, and It's not I can blame them.
I ordered mine the 3rd march, week 25 is my extimated date, so be patient, now that they can CE mark the Raspberry, it should be "just" a couple of months of wait left.
