FedEx attempted to deliver 2 Maplin Pi Kits today - I'll have to phone them tomorrow and collect late tomorrow or early Friday from the courier depot (easiest option rather then getting it delivered to a neighbour) These 2 kits were ordered on 03 Sept and delivered (attempted in 23 days) albeit miss...

I ordered on 04 Aug from RS and was given an order ref : 1010175xxx
(Where are people getting 5- or 6-digit refs from - mine is 10-digits!!!)

It came with a quote of "Despatch (sic) expected within 17 week(s)"

Payment taken from credit card on 04 Aug - Delivery in December!!!!
