Still waiting for delivery date?

Some updates from me.

I mailed Farnell, and got a reply that my card is not accepted. Interesting, through, that an attempt to take money has been made only after my mail (as bank's report shows)...

Then all went good - I told them that I want to use another card, gived it's data and - voila! - my order will be sent today or tomorrow!

So, thanks for quick resolution.

I had my card expired while waiting Raspi, called them and did give the new card info.

They said that it will be shipped next week, and will take two to three weeks in transit to Finland

Long wait still ahead.

Atleast the T-shirt is coming

Same here, got an email from Farnell, that my card was declined. (but I had to ask them what's wrong with my delivery, they don't really bother to tell you themselves...)

From what I could understand from my bank's debit card support, Farnell is using unsecure "system" for payments and they are using SSL, so the transaction was cancelled due to security reasons.

They have to "unblock" my card for unsecure payments and after that, the transaction was completed. Still waiting on some delivery info tho...

In one area the Pi is unmatched -- a source of funny stories.

It would be funny if we had all received our Pi

However the reality is that Farnell have made a complete and utter mess of it. Looks like they threw the orders into a bucket and gave it a good stir. The order of delivery appears to bear no relationship to the sequential order number. Dates look like elastic bands.

Bought all the bits to use it, my son is travelling up to see us this week-end to have a play (amongst other things of course) because  I was promised delivery sometime last week. Now it is going to be at least two weeks later than promised. Promises that obviously don't mean much around here. Just how difficult is it to match stock to orders?

Hey Guys,

I just talked to Farnell here in Germany, they told me my RPI is finally there and I only have to transfer the money. But if I hadn't called them, I don't know how much longer I may have waited. I suggest you call them from time to time, they're friendly and interested in helping you.

BTW: I never got a delivery date...

Be patient and good luck!
