"Already questions arose, with customers wondering why their orders were taking so long when over at Farnell, the whole process was much swifter."

    Hopefully my last comment on RS.  Email just received.

    You have a shipment being sent from RS COMPONENTS LTD that is due to be

    despatched on 19/10/2012 using our Express 24 service. The tracking reference

    number is

     

    [...]

     

    Message from the shipper

     

    Your RaspberryPi order has been despatched today. If you ordered a Raspberry Pi

    board as part of your order we are pleased to inform you that we have sent you

    the upgraded 512MB Revision 2 board to thank you for your continued patience. We

    hope this upgrade is acceptable to you If you have any questions please

    email:RaspberryPi@rswww.com Thank you for your Order RS Components

    Ordered on 1st July, and given the order number I shouldn't be getting it until the latter half of November.  So maybe something is going right for RS at last.
