Hello !

I am wondering if anyone has used Paypal to order RPIs from RS Components ?
Could you write their valid E-mail here which is being used for accepting Paypal payments, I would like to verify it for security.

Thank you !

Yes. I just got my refund today. There are better places to order from. I suggest going elsewhere.

Good thing about PayPal is it's easy to file a dispute. Bad thing about PayPal is that you only have 45 days to do so, and lead times have been (much) longer than that.

*EDIT*
For reference the address I have is raspberrypi@rswww.com The same as their "support" email contact.

When I got my order invite June 20th there was no selection for what country you were ordering from. After placing the order I inquired about it and they told me it would be shipped from the UK by DHL.

FYI. I ordered Wednesday from MCMelectronics.com (in the USA) and it is being delivered today (also in the US). CPC (element14) also says they have them in stock but I don't know about shipping from either.
