    I just pre-ordered mine from this website as well.

    http://www.newark.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?id=83T1943&Ntt=83T1943

     

     

    Actually I order 2 of them and the order did not stop me from placing the order. In addition, the email of the sent to me has NO Shipping cost or Handling cost or Taxes. It did mention the ship date as 30-March-2012. So I am not sure what other users are complaining about $20 S/H fee. Need to wait and see what they will charge me.

    Have a look at this thread:

     

    http://slickdeals.net/f/4009796-Raspberry-Pi-Model-B-In-Stock-Backorder-Newark-nominal-shipping-fee-ships-from-us-warehouse-No-Handling-Fee-35

     

    which suggests that you can order (and GET) a unit from existing stock at Newark WITHOUT the handling fee !!

     

    Good luck
