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?

My OrdnerNo is 021.400 and im still waiting.

I've just checked my order with Farnell and there is nothing showing although I've been told it will be arrving around June, cant track it, cant veiw it, how can I know??????? I really dont want to have to ring up...unless it's the last resort...

My Back Order date was just moved up from the Aug default date to 18 June! My order is with the USA Newark Co. My original order date is 13 March. I hope it gets moved up more!

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!
