    @Vedran: One of the comments posted on the FAQ page that Jenny linked cites a question and answer that was either obtained from elsewhere or alternatively that has now been deleted from the FAQ:

     

    • Q. I’ve placed an order. Will I be charged?
    • A. We won’t take any payment until we actually despatch your order.

     

    Since you are asking the same question, perhaps we will see it appear (again?) in the FAQ sometime.

     

    Be that as it may, I can confirm (from my own bank statement) that at least in the UK, Farnell is not charging until the Pi is sent out for delivery.  This I feel is very fair and honest of them.

     

    Very disappointingly, RS have stated that they will charge when the order is placed, despite citing delivery times of over 2 months.  This is not fair of them in my view, because there is no exchange of value until the time it leaves their possession and is  sent into yours.  What's more, in effect the interest is raising the price higher than the one which they officially quote.  It's not a very nice practice.
