Will ship from inside the UK, that is why RPi agreed licencing with RS and Farnell, so there were local distuibutors. That said, Order now in time for christmas.... 2014

As far as can be made out at the moment, RS have been given 2 hands and been asked to sit on them.... but they keep giving error 404 "*** not found", with occational 417, and once 418, though I think that might have been because they were hiding in the microwave.
To summarise, fudge knows what either of them are doing at the moment.

HOWEVER! the latest information given by both is that there will be more info available when the supplier has shipped into country, what more update are we ment to be expecting on a day to day basis?

Hi Danny, there is no shipment fee for UK
Farnell are distributing globally through the Premier Farnell family of companies, including element14 in Asia Pacific, Farnell element14 in Europe and Newark element14 in the Amercias. Our aim is to make sure that this product is available across the world. The product is priced in line with Raspberry Pi costs, but customers across the globe will see a small pricing difference due to tax laws, exchange rates and delivery costs .

I have just received my order confirmation from Farnell U.K... with an estimated delivery date of W/C 4th June 2012 which seems a very long way away!

Let's just hope that they will find some way to increase production in the meantime!
