    Since it is shipping to US first and not drop shipping to you from UK, it will take around 3-4 weeks shipping to US and then clearing US customs.  Dates are estimates to include all of that.  I hope that helps.

    Maggie,

     

         So what you are saying is that from the time a RPi is made in China at the factory, it gets shipped to the UK, then to the US, then to Canada.  And at each step in this process, it'll will take some time to travel the leg as well as to go through customs.  So there is no process to get them from China to the US or Canada without the UK middle step?

     

         And I would hope that there is some methodology in place to ensure that orders in Canada/US get filled properly and that shipments arriving in UK on the way to North America aren't hijacked for European markets.

     

         Sorry to be pushy but I am still severely disappointed with how the launch went and how those customers outside the UK and EU were left out and it appearing that the Foundation/Farnell(Newark)/RS all seem to be saying "oh well, too bad".

     

         I guess that if I was to order another one in 6 months I would only need to wait a few days for the time it took get from the US to Canada, as the RPi would already be stocked by Newark, right?
