New Shipping dates

GreenYamo

Looking at the Pi forum and also from personal experience, it looks like Farnell have just released another set of mails with shipping dates, ranging from early May (W/C 7th in my case) to W/C 28th May, so if you haven't received an e-mail yet, it may be worth checking your spam/ junk mail folder.

 

Pleased as I only got a mail last weekend, stating a W/c 4th June shipping date...but as ever, I'll wait until it is in my hand until I believe it :-)

    There was an official update on 27 April about shipping dates: http://www.element14.com/community/groups/raspberry-pi/blog/2012/04/27/delivery-update--27th-april:

    Hi Everyone,

    We're excited to report that our next shipment of 4,000 Raspberry Pi's has now left our manufacturers in Asia and will be on their way to customers next week! We have a further 12,000 Raspberry Pi's due to arrive by the third week of May. We will have regular volume shipments thereafter. By early next week, all 110,000 customers who have ordered with element14 - wherever you are in the world - will receive a confirmed delivery date. As previously communicated, this will be no later than the end of June for those who ordered before April 18th.

    I didn't get a confirmation e-mail on the week of 30 April, so I sent a polite e-mail to Newark customer service.  Here was their reply:

    Hello John,

    You should receive this [your RasPi] before the end of June, we still have no exact date.  I do apologize, we do not have a list for the orders.  Any further updates will be posted at the link below. Thank you for your patience.

    The August 16th date is bogus.  My order at newark.com says the same thing.  I've read elsewhere that it's just a default placeholder until your board is about to ship.

    I also didn't recieved any confirmed delivery date. But I asume it as normal as I don't really now what was happening with orders in my country (all were locked if you didn't pay months in advance). This morning I had my order cancelled definitely because I'm not ok with this kind of bad treatment to customers forcing them to pay for something so much time prior to delivery.

     

    Maybe, if I ever order again with Farnell/element14 in the future, this changes and things follow a "normal" path. But, right now, this is the worse chaos I should have never seen (and I have been years waiting for the openpandora).
