dammit, I was hoping I had somehow dodged this. This should really be either included in the price or at least warned about when you buy it. It’s so much!!!

Since they’re paying the import duties upfront, they’re essentially giving you a loan. That said, I’d prefer if this was included in the cost of shipping.
I ordered mine this month. I don’t mind the wait. It is not something I desperately need.
But I did see them offered on aliexpress for a lot of money.
Maybe clockwork should institute a one per customer policy as long as they are scarce. I think that would be fair.
They arent scares now they had supply issues which have been sorted now and they are just on catch up, you wont probably have any issues of waiting over the 90 days they told you when buying it

an enforced loan with interest of 33%, holding your product as hostage? I would have appreciated the option of paying myself even if it took longer, and at the very least a warning from clockwork pi.

Yh i feel like its just people who got theirs first and changed their minds or maybe its just scalpers
I think if you have an account with FedEx you can prepay and avoid the surcharge. You might also be able to get it refunded once if you complain?
Just received item 1 uConsole R-01 version - keyboard is good and installing some programs - this will be the base unit intend to install A-06 processor or CM4 later.

I ordered last year September, USA, when can I get mine ? dear friends
Out of curiosity (since I know nothing about the non Pi cores, what OS does yours run?
Really depends on what you ordered and what the order number is, if you want to know exactly you better email alex, his email is at the top of this thread, he also posts updates up there too so good to keep an eye out
I’d show off mine but my desk is not neat and tidy like yours - very good organizational discipline! What CPU are you running - the A-06 I originally ordered is on hold due to bad weather but somehow the R-01 slipped through - I had the CM4 adapter board and a CM4 LIte processor - I’m working with it now but it hangs up on web pages. I’m going to look at a more efficient browser - Firefox -esr bogs down on websites that require username/passwords - like this thread - but once I updated the password manager it loads the site. I really like Spyder IDE for python in this form factor - perspective is just right…

It’s the sqfmi beepy in a 3d printed case - I purchased some metric screws and a tap to put it together - I can try to find the box the rest are in but they are tiny … I only use the beepy for todo list (yokadi), vim , some python and ham radio telnet messaging (Pat i/o) it’s better used with SSH kind of a tinker device but its not bad - a dear associate printed the case for me… the battery rattles around wish I had put some foam in there - the R-01 uConsole is about the same usability but a more capable form factor - once I upgraded to the CM4 processor it is much more useful - I’ll carry both in my backpack since I still have notes I want to access on the beepy… amazon description of bolts for beepy case: XOOL M3 310PCS Stainless Steel Hex Socket Head Cap Screws Nuts Assortment Kit, Allen Wrench Drive, Precise Metric Bolts and Nuts Set with Beautiful Assortment Tool Box for 3D Printed Project. I had to cut some bolts off using a dremel
