I was trying to pre-order the Raspberry PI and I couldn't find Brazil as a possible country to shipping.
Why is that?
I was trying to pre-order the Raspberry PI and I couldn't find Brazil as a possible country to shipping.
Why is that?
I´m also from Brazil and I received a pre-order email but to my surprise no Brazil on the shipping list. Why? It seems to be the only country missing.
Hey, I just received the pre-order email from Farnell and tried to order. Unfortunatelly, Brazil is unavailable. Should I order from RS?
I also live in Brazil and I can not make the purchase. Please help us. thank you
I will tell you why we dont get Raspberry Pi:
We, brazilians, are nothing but fools. Farnell UK is not shipping or allowing brazilian orders because Farnell has a Brazilian branch. I called them up (+55 11 4066-9400) to ask about the Raspberry Pi pre-order, and they are making an interest list as of right now.
They will be sending this list, god knows when - maybe never, to show the brazilian interest on the board. After that, we have to wait for some unknown time, until they get a reply and decide for how much they are going to rip us off. And by ripping off, I mean that the Brazilian branch will sell the Raspberry Pi for a different price, maybe, who know for a few hundred reais (R$300,00 - R$500,00 - US$150, - US$250,00)
Stop this bullshit and sell the board to us already!!!
Translation to portuguese follows:
Nós somos trouxas. A farnell tem uma filial no Brasil que esta registrando interesse na placa. Quandos eles atingirem um numero obscuro de interesse, eles irão avaliar a real possibilidade de trazer a placa para ca. Resumindo, a placa que deveria custar por volta de R$110,00 (Convertendo 39 libras para real), vai acabar custando por volta de R$400,00, pois eles tem que adicionar o lucro e o custo Brasil.

I received the e-mail to pre-order to and after see that they not send to Brazil i call to Farnell in Brazil, and even the people responsible by the R-pi are not knowing about this pre-order. And i've informed will be possible buy in the http://www.farnellnewark.com.br/ only in august by U$ 90.00. The responsible by the R-pi in farnell Brazil say that they will enter in contact with the farnell UK and ask information about this pre-order to Brazil. I'm waiting to the reply.
