end of "register your interest" at element14

Former Member

The "register your interest" page at

http://downloads.element14.com/raspberryPi2.html?isRedirect=true&ICID=raspberrypigroup_us

 

now says:

 

"We will be opening up to general Raspberry Pi orders on Thursday 5th July. Therefore we will cease to take registrations from Monday 2nd July. Any Registrations placed up until Monday 2nd July will be invited to order prior to general orders commencing. You will be able to place your order directly from Thursday 5th July on an ongoing basis, for deliveries in approximately 4 weeks."

  • Must admit I'm getting a bit hacked off with this.  Too slow off the mark to order one in the first round, so I registered interest at the end of April (they weren't taking orders at that point).  Then notified that I could place an order on June 13th (which I duly) did - it's now a month later and Farnell seem to be unable to even tell me when (or if) my order will ever be shipped.  The ordering process seems to have more stages to get through than Wimbledon.

     

    If my order gets bumped because they are sending a load to schools then fine - but tell me that. 

     

    In fact, tell me anything.  It would be an improvement.
