Pre Order in China

Hi raspfly - I really like your username! 

You currently can register your interest using this link.  Also, I noticed your comment about the automatic language setting.  If you would rather see element14 Community in English you can change your language settings by clicking on the country flag in the top right corner.  Let us know if you need help changing this.

Thanks for joining!

Nicole, element14 Community Manager

Its been four months and i have still not received any invitation for purchasing RP.

When ever i visit your website i just find it displaying sale closed and asking me to turn up some weeks later.

There are many who registered their interest much later but could purchase RP why is element14 being unfair to some ppl  ?

And now the Element14 China website does not allows me to loging with my login id used for this forum

https://cn.element14.com/jsp/profile/register.jsp?fromPage=true

So how many times do i need to register with Element14 ?

Hi Raspfly - appologies for not having seen your comment above until today.  The element14 Community and the element14 China store does not feature single sign on yet, so you have to sign in to each site with the username/password you used to register. 

I know it's a pain to have to log in to two different sites, and we've taken this feedback into account for our future website updates!

Thanks,

Nicole

Have you considered writing a corporate blog about "Raspberry Pi and My Attempt at Leading a Normal Life"?

PS. I recommend to everybody to hold onto their best Pi stories.  In 10 years' time there will be a sidesplitting book written about these times, and it will need your input ... :-)

Of course from my experience, after surfing both websites, i have come to know abt this foolish procedure that i have to loging in to each site but how does that makes any difference to my problem ?

I logged in to the chinese website > placed the order > and then received their call only to be told that i can get my RP only after 10 weeks (towards the end of Sept) where as if you have a look at this link http://cn.element14.com/jsp/commonfragments/productWarehouseInventory.jsp?sku=2081185 it mentions

I am posting all this here because no one will ever listen to our grevience on the chinese website.

There we have just two options, either wait and get it when its supplied to you OR just dont buy it.

I wish to know if there is so much stock available that you can allow people to order multiple RPs (as mentioned on RP's official page) then how come i have to wait for 10 weeks ?

It now shows

What does that 45 means ?

On 16 July 2012 it was announced that 4000 units of RP are being manufactured per day.

I have been asked to wait till end of Sept, does that means there are 300000 orders pending b4 mine ?

Can anyone kindly provide some clue, as to how long can the delivery take ?
