The Raspberry Pi sounds great, but like many others I've been waiting for weeks since my order with no feedback at all on when it might ship.

There's certainly a bias in the shipping thread, but you can find plenty of folks having issues!

I got my first RPi from Newark about five months ago, and it only took 3-4 business days to show up after I placed my order (and their customer service people called me on the phone to make sure I got it! Talk about high-touch, B2B). I just ordered another 512KB RPi from Adafruit, slightly more expensive, but better selection of cases / breakout cables / etc., and they shipped less than 12 hours after I placed the order...

Out of curiosity where are you ordering from / having them shipped to?

This is probably the 5th time I've seen someone post something similar but all of mine have arrived within a few days or weeks.

So far I've ordered from Newark/Element14 and MCM Electronics and I'm in the US.

I ordered from Allied, and I'm also in the US.

I'm tempted to cancel and place the order elsewhere...

I placed my order, heard nothing for 4 months, then all of the sudden got a shipping notice and it showed up two days later. All I know is they're shipping them as fast as they get them.

If it's been a while, why not drop their customer service a note and ask for an update? If you're polite I doubt they'll begrudge you that.

EDIT: Also ordered from Allied in the US (California)

Allied took roughly three months to ship one to me. Ordering elsewhere probably isn't a bad idea.

I ordered mine three days after they were released and it arrived a little over nine months later from RS. My cousin ordered three months after I did from the same place and got his in a few weeks. It seems like some orders are slipping through the cracks.

A friend of mine in the UK bought one on ebay and it shipped right away.
