Mine was finally updated as well. Here is my info:

Date Order Was Placed : 3/12/12 (Mar 12)

Order Confirmation Number: 240xxx

Old Expected Ship Date: 16 Aug 2012 (like everyone else)

New Expected Ship Date: 03 July 2012

Where do you all find this information?

I received a mail I would receive it before the end of June, but I've got nowhere to see an expected Ship Date.

If you ordered from newark.com, go to that site and select "ORDER HISTORY" in the "MY ACCOUNT" menu.  It will ask you to log in using the name and password with which you registered.  Then select the order by clicking on its PO number.  My order gives an expected ship date of 3 July 2012.  I ordered on 4 March 2012.

Discussion at the raspberrypi.org forum suggests that 3 July may be a new place-holder and I may get my RasPi well before then.

You all might want to check again.  Mine just changed again, from 13 Jun to 29 May (moved up 2 weeks!).

I've made note of discrepancies before and I still say there is a major disconnect between the element14 websites.

Other customers have dates on their Order page where it seems the Canadian version never puts one in. Why is it that one company that sells worldwide would have so much difference between each local distributor. Sure there are language differences, currencies, address formats, etc., but shouldn't each client have access to the same info?

I strongly have the impression that farnell started out here in europe, and had little to no presence in the americas. Similarly inOne started out in the americas, and had little presence in europe. So they merged. They didn't really compete, but now they can buy bigger get better prices.

Now you can't suddenly force all your american customers to start using the european site. Or the other way around. People are used to their old "layout" and features. So the old sites and layout will only slowly change.

(similar story with Element14 in Asia/pacific, and possibly a few other companies that joined the merged company...)

Just take a look at http://rastrack.ryanteck.org.uk/

That's not fair and far away from first in first out!

So, it moved to 29 May the next day (18 May) and then back to 8 June today (25 May) .

Stop the roller coaster; I wanna get off!

John,

   don't rely on the newark ship dates.   The only reliable dates are coming

from the element14 twitter account.
