Multi-orders being enabled?

morgaine
morgaine over 13 years ago

One of the interesting snippets of information that we learned from the Maker Faire video that Drew linked here -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIf4Fk2252A  -- is that Eben expects Element 14 to enable multi-orders for Raspberry Pi on its website this week (he mentions it at around 14:00 minutes into the video).

 

Was that possibility mentioned anywhere else, such as in Element 14 emails or by Jenny on the RPF blog?

 

His comments also made me wonder whether the two partners will continue to be symmetrical in that respect, because he specifically asked the person in the audience who raised the question which distributor they were signed up with.  I can't quite make out the final word in Eben's comment "I can't speak for <someone>", but perhaps that was related too.

 

Anyway, it was a very interesting answer that Eben gave.

    Morgaine,

      Eben says he can't speak for Allied, which is the RS partner in the US.

     

    It's funny he says he hopes Element14 will be able to ship multiple orders

    soon.  In fact, there is already at least one report of Element14 shipping

    two units to the same customer, user SN:

     

    http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=6400

     

    and quite a few reports of people receiving one each from Element14 & RS.

    It was possible to be able to multiple order beforehand, as long as you only made 1 order for one Pi at a time.

     

    I must confess to going a little mad, and making orders through Farnell and RS through two different e-mail addresses, all were honoured (Unfortunately for my bank balance!)

     

    I'm not hoarding them, I have done my own buy one, give one as I got a bit fed up waiting for the foundation to arrange it, something they had promised for ages and have seemingly forgotten.
