Pre-Order, Back-Order Shipping Dates All Over the Place

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor over 14 years ago

Placed an order on the 29th at 10PM CST (I originally stayed up for the launch but noticed after a couple of hours it wasn't going to happen) and got Estimated Ship Date of 5-11-12 because it was in back-order status. Then, just a little while ago, I received an e-mail saying I could pre-order and my place in line had been saved (because I had signed up to "express interest".) So, I placed another order and when the Pi was in the cart it said the ESD was 4-3-12 (Cool!) However, when I submitted the order my ESD changed to 5-14-12??? Obviously it will be a while before I get one any way you look at it, but that's a pretty big discrepancy, What's your ESD?

    Wow, now it has been pushed all the way back to August 14th! Not cool at all. That's absurd and hopefully not accurate.

    Promising tweet from Raspberry Pi Foundation just now:

    Just had mail from Newark @element14 - if your delivery date changed to August today, please ignore. It's a system auto-generated error.

    Thanks for the heads up. It's almost a full time job just keeping up with changing shipping dates.

     

    I've been trying to stay positive about the situation but that would be silly for me to hold an order that long. After hearing about the bad NICs and compliance testing I hope it is "just an error."
