The Raspberry Pi - A $25/$35 Linux PC - General

Oh Farnell, get your site back on-line and take my money!

[quote]YouAreDoingItWrong ‏ @YouAreDoingItWr @Raspberry_Pi Just got off the phone with Farnell in Denmark, they will ONLY sell to companues, citing the official RPi site's policy[/quote] Holy fucking shit

So basically the launch was a success right? :v:

What the shit just happened.

Fucking Element 14. Give me my raspberry.

No price was found for product 2081185. Item was not added to basket. Register your interest. :(

[QUOTE=A Noobcake;34923386]What the shit just happened.[/QUOTE] A couple distributors had a chance to prove their ability to handle a popular new product.

This is awful.

I cant imagine the amount of traffic the minute the raspberry went onto these two sites. [editline]29th February 2012[/editline] Oh god the malaysian website has 2 raspberry model b. One costing £25 and the other £30.

I'm kind of excited at the fact that i managed to put the thing in my cart on Farnell. Of course I'm going to have to wait now, but whatever. [editline]29th February 2012[/editline] Their site requires that I have something in "Address Line 2", huh?

Damn this went fast.

Launch failed

Ordered. Took two hours, but we finally got there. Don't think people who didn't already have a Farnell account stand much chance tbh.

Heh, checked out on Element 14 aka Farnell Malaysia. Hope it works.

Looks like they should have hoarded a lot more of them...

[quote]Delivery Charge: TBA[/quote] I'm not sure I like this.

[QUOTE=GhostSonic;34923573]I'm not sure I like this.[/QUOTE] Same. I'd like to know what I'm going to be charged... Oh well! Lets do this.

[QUOTE=GhostSonic;34923573]I'm not sure I like this.[/QUOTE] I'm going to leave it for now, wait for the hype to die down. They need to sort themselves out right now.

Apparently the price shown includes shipping.

[QUOTE=Hexxeh;34923598]Apparently the price shown includes shipping.[/QUOTE] Evidence?

Does Farnell accept PayPal?

and I don't know what do to about "Address Line 2" under Delivery Address, I have nothing to put there but it's mandatory.

[QUOTE=inconspicious;34923640][img]http://puu.sh/iQJG[/img] Doesn't look like it here.[/QUOTE] That looks like invoicing [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16429332/FP/rpi-farnell2.PNG[/img]

I wonder how fast they're going to be "built to order"

[QUOTE=GhostSonic;34923671]That looks like invoicing [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16429332/FP/rpi-farnell2.PNG[/img][/QUOTE] I've just went through the entire purchase process and I've only had to use the Line 1 box.

Now to hope that my order doesn't somehow disappear or something unfortunate like that.

Well the export site is down for Farnell, I guess maybe they should've chosen better companies to work with :I
