Quick update from RS

18th of May 2012 by liz

Just landed in San Francisco for Maker Faire – please come and visit us if you’re in the area this weekend! (I’m near death – this is my fourth trip to and from the US this year, and my soul still thinks it’s somewhere over Iceland.) I found this in my inbox from Jo. RS customers take note!

Hi Everyone. Just a quick update for you on the information Liz posted here on Friday.

As promised last week, we have started inviting the next customers in our queue to place their orders for a Raspberry Pi. Delivery dates for these orders will be through June and July.

By this time next week we expect to have invited everyone that registered for a Raspberry Pi with RS on the first day – some 100,000 of you – to place your order. We’ll also have an update on expected availability for those left in the queue.

As always we will be regularly updating our FAQs and sending further updates to Liz to put on the Raspberry Pi website.

Best wishes

Jo & all the RS Raspberry Pi Team

I am extremely impressed with the speed of my Pi’s delivery. I placed my order (I was there at launch night, but ordered unfortunately late) on Tuesday, it arrived today, Thursday! I look forward to spending my summer coding and learning!

(I think it was RS, but am not sure. My parents dealt with the ordering, myself only being 16 next week. For reference, I am in Tennessee. (That is, in the US.))

“As always we will be regularly updating our FAQs”

So why is there information on there that was only valid before the first 700 shipped, and no information about any subsequent deliveries? Your other customers may be interested in what a Raspberry Pi is and so forth, but we’ve got all that on the forums here. What we want from your FAQ is where you are in reducing the backlog, when you will be taking orders and when boards will be delivered. Your FAQ singularly fails to give this information.

  Please don’t speak for me. What I want from the FAQ is what is there. The obvious answer is that third party companies are doing the ordering, processing and delivering and the foundation isn’t responsible for those. I am being regularly updated about expected delivery dates on the front page news and via e-mail once I placed an order.

Funny how 25.000 additional customers registered on launch day since last week. How come last week there were 75.000 of them and now it’s 100.000? Methinks that if you want to gain confidence from your customers you have waiting for months, you’re better off avoiding to provide obviously inaccurate info.

  That article said there were 75,000 orders by 5pm GMT, which means there were still 7 more hours to place 25,000 orders. Not that unrealistic really.

    Oh I see. I guess I was thrown off by the fact that in this last post they refer to their earlier promise concerning 75.000 customers, and go on to talk about 100.000 a little later. But seeing as the time frame of the period they promise invitation by has increased slightly as well, all fits. My apologies.

Interesting that their FAQ hasn’t been updated since the 17th of April.
Or that there’s nothing regarding those removed from the list.
I’ve got my Pi now, but I can’t be the only one that was removed for no reason.

If you think you should have a Pi by now, it’s worth emailing RS and asking if you’re still in the queue. I’m really disappointed that no-one’s made any kind of official statement about that.

Hi,

Thanks to RS for ramping the production up. I was very happy to receive an email from them yesterday and ordered as fast as I could type

If you spend just two or three days in the USA the jet lag does not really set in. There was one guy here who used to spend every other week in the USA, therefore swapping time zones each week. Perhaps there was a pharmaceutical solution to prevent insanity :-/

Jo,
I know if I had received mt Pi I would not be writing this, but sadly what you say each week does not give me any confidence in RS at all. Rather I think you are completely inundated by the volume of orders but are afraid to admit it.
I submitted my registration at 6.20 GMT on the 29 February. Because of the chaos I submitted a further registration about an hour later. On the 3 March I received 2 emails thanking me for my registration. I assumed that I was therefore in the queue and would get one PI in due course. So far nothing. As has already been said one minute its 75000 then its 100000. Even so I would have expected to have been invited to order by now if there was some time ordering of the queue.
I am left with a feeling that either RS treats its customers with contempt or it wishes it had never heard of Raspberry PI

  RS deleted some orders, their willing to individually explain it if you’re one of the unlucky ones- but not openly confess to it (or the scale). [And the RPi guys seem to be unwilling to call them to task] You’ll need to email their tech support, and they should send you one out.

      I don’t think I’m being unfair, I deliberately said “seem” rather than saying they’re not calling RS out on this.
      
      I don’t hold the foundation responsible for RS dropping the ball like this, but I’ve bought this up before (and it seems that someone read it) and I forwarded them my correspondence with RS. I expected a response along the lines of “We’ve asked RS if this is true, and if so to include it in the next status update.”
      
      These status updates are posted on the blog to help people who preordered know when they’ll get their Pi’s; and as RS have accidentally struck names off the list something like “We have sent out all registrations of interest received before Xam, if you have not been contacted please email us.” should have been in the this or the last update. And I feel that the foundation should be keeping RS honest.
      
      In short: What this has to do with the foundation is that this issue isn’t in the status update.

  Hi Roy,
  
  Due to the DoS level of interest, I could not get into the queue at around 06:00 either. I registered interest slightly earlier than yourself and received an email a couple of days ago. Therefore, your email will probably show up soon too.

Good news about the RS deliveries also… especially for those (like myself) who were unable to express an interest on ‘launch day’.
Could you please clarify though if Jo is based in the UK, or the USA, as I am getting the impression that they are currently receiving a bit more information regarding estimated delivery dates than we are here at the moment.
Thanks.

May 18, 2012 at 1:10 pm said:

I posted this in the forums but it’s a bit lost in the noise. After ordering, I had the apologetic error message some have reported, and tried again with the same result. Shortly after, my bank sent me two SMS notifications that my credit card had been charged, and these two charges have now shown up on my statement. Next day, I tried again, with order confirmation this time from the RS site — and another confirming SMS. The third charge (a slightly different amount because I changed something else on the order) has now shown up.

I replied to the confirmation email from RS, and have had no response. Is anyone reading this able to get an answer from RS as to what’s going on, or should I ask my credit card provider to cancel the bogus transactions? Judging from the forums, I’m not the only one with this problem.

And no, I’m not expecting 3 of them to show up.

    James, I don’t post reports of problems to show anyone up. Obviously there are short-term glitches to iron out and I am trying to help with getting information out on how to deal with them. Handling routine issues is described at the order FAQ http://authenticate.rsdelivers.com/staticpages/pi/faq.aspx and this isn’t one of them.
    
    Using the phone is a possibility but given that I am in South Africa and the price is quoted in UK currency, who do I ask? The one time I asked the local RS office about Raspberry Pi they knew nothing except they’d had a lot of enquiries. If you read the FAQ you will see the online store is meant to be run by CS Technologies, and the information on dealing with ordering problems is pretty sketchy. So if I called the UK RS office would they be able to help? Emailing as Jo described did eventually result in 1 of 2 incorrect charges being reversed (I’m trying again to get the second one fixed) so that seems the best option for dealing with glitches as opposed to routine issues (remember to check the FAQ before going this route).

I was fortunate enough to be invited to place my order last week and used my PO Box as the shipping addess (since that’s also my billing address.) I didn’t know that they were using DHL to ship. I fear the PO Box may pose a problem. Let me know what info you need. Thanks!

It seems like others have better luck with the ordering process, when I hear so many already having their Pi.

I can find no way of using the code on the actual rs-online web site? Is this invite a phising email?

Why is RS sending people to a “none” standard site? I have delt with RS for years and always access their services via their main protal.

I registered my interest on March 1 and again on March 9. Would it be possible for RS to just confirm with us that we are, in fact, still in the queue? Or can RS give us something to the effect of ‘all registrations from have been processed or invited to purchase’? I’m trying to lesson plan for the fall semester. If there’s a Pi in my future (before July 1) I’ll leave some teaching time open for it. If I’ve ‘fallen through the cracks’ and won’t be seeing one by that time, I’ll move ahead with other plans. Is there any indication that the education Pi’s will be ready for classrooms before Christmas?

Dear RS, it feels very frustrating when we read how great everything is going and how you are inviting people to place orders, when my order with Allied from March 2nd has not been shipped yet. Are we forgotten here across the pond ? I contacted Allied several times last few weeks and on the 3rd attempt finally received a response. Never mind the no-response on first 2 inquiries, I will paste the response I got on my 3rd attempt, because it is just the “you can’t make this stuff up” type and let everyone make their own mind about it.

I’m sorry but there have not been any updates on this product because we ourselves have not received updates. We are at the mercy of our parent company in the UK. Our competition that is also offering these is in the same situation. As soon as we get word, all the customer’s that pre-ordered will get the email right after. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thank you for your patience.

Needless to say, I will think twice where I place my next order.

  Just gave up on the Pi after multiple attempts to engage RS Germany in any meaningful conversation about order status.

“By this time next week …We’ll also have an update on expected availability for those left in the queue…”
Could you please give us the promised information? Why do you need 2 Months (June and July) for delivering the next batch? Does it mean that people that placed their order on day 3 or later should not expect their Pies earlier than 2013?
Please start communicating with your “customers”.

I just used my code to put a RP in my basket at RS and went to get my credit card. When I clicked “Place order” it took me to the Log on screen, asked for my authentification code again and said it was invalid.

Anyone else had this problem?

Hi, i just received the Raspberry Pi, so i am buying all aditional stuff, but i have a question related to the power supply.
As i know, it must be a microUSB 5V 1Amp, i have a Blackberry power supply with MicroUSB 5V and 2Amp output. The question, is it OK to use a 5V 2Amp PSU?.
Best regards.
Enrique

  yes, the RasPi will only draw what it needs. It’s the voltage that is critical as long as you have at least 1A.
