New Shipping dates

GreenYamo
GreenYamo over 14 years ago

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 :-)

    Wee hee!!! Got an email fra Element14 today that my RPi was now shipping via UPS, got a tracking number and all. I orderet around 0830 CET (GTM+1) on February 29. Cant wait for it to arrive. Wonder how long it will take UPS to ship it from the UK to my home in Norway.

    Norway is not that far away, so if it was actually shipped today, then I would expect you to receive it tomorrow.

     

    Otherwise it will probably be Monday, as I would have thought that UPS count Saturday as a 'standard' delivery day.

     

    Actually I have just remembered that Monday is a Bank Holiday' over here, so if your Pi doesn't arrive, then I just hope it isn't one with you also.

     

    Fingers crossed for you anyway! image

    Hmm, that's interesting -- I got the shipment confirmation yesterday but with no tracking number, which from past experience means it's coming via Royal Mail.  Of course sod's law held true and this was one of the few occasions that a Farnell order didn't arrive the next day, so I guess I won't be getting mine until Tuesday (as I had it sent to the office in case it came via UPS!)

    From what other recipients are saying it looks as if they are indeed being sent by Royal Mail... but using 2nd Class post, which almost certainly means that they won't arrive the next day.

     

    Hopefully you will be lucky and receive it on Saturday though... fingers crossed!

     

    Oops sorry... I have just read that you had it sent to your office... what a pain!  image

    Well, maybe if I'm feeling particularly enthusiastic I'll pop in tomorrow morning and find out if anybody comes in to sort the post on a Saturday image  Failing that, well, never mind -- worse things happen at sea!

    I ordered mine on February 29, about 6 hours after they were on sale. My shpping date is on May 29. I want to know their algorithm for determining that, because there are people in this thread with better shipping dates than mine who ordered it after me.

    Well, you're not alone. I ordered 2 hours after launch, and I haven't even received a shipping date yet...

    That's harsh. I'm really curious now, cause that doesn't seem like it should be. Did you check spam filters?

    Yes, I mailed Liz on monday to forward my details to Jenny, and mailed export@farnell.com on wednesday (which I finally got a generic reply from, after 24 hours, with something about everyone getting it before end of June). Then posted to Jenny in the blog comments on rasperrbypi.org about my mail to Liz, which Jenny said she received, but no info whatsoever about my delivery date. And nothing in the mail so far...
