Import Taxes & Confirmed Delivery Date

Hi,

I pre ordered a Raspberry Pi, should arrive before the end of June.

Does anyone know if the unit will be shipped from the UK or from the distribution center in The Netherlands (where I live).

I want to know this because of the import taxes.

And, I still haven't got my confirmed delivery date by email. (I received the email saying that it'll be delivered before the end of June.)

I know JennyPeters has been answering these questions, but unfortunately I haven't got a reply yet.

Order number: ORP001780

Kind Regards,

Have you considered contacting Farnell? This is just a Board. Any comments from here are likely to be guesses.

I contacted Farnell NL but they couldn't tell me anything about this.

I got a better response from Tweeting Element14 than by email or their contact us form online. As well I also got some response by emailing Jenny Peters directly using the email address I found on the PremierFarnell corporate website.

I just sent and email to Jenny, and I got an 'Out of Office AutoReply'.
It says she is out of office until June 11th.

I'll wait for that, it's still sooner than 'the end of June'

Thanks for the idea by the way

Thomas,
1) I'm in the Netherlands as well.
2) The 'pi will ship from the UK.
3) Don't worry: There ARE no import duties. The most important one, VAT ("BTW" in Dutch) is already charged by Farnell-UK. They might charge the UK rate of 21% whereas ours is only 19%. You'll pay it with your order, you won't have to pay it again.

I've been ordering from Farnell for over 10 years, and only now did I find out that most of my orderes were shipped from the UK and not from Utrecht (Maarsen? whatever....)
