Im cracking up, I thought the stepper driver kit I bought was from RRRP, but it came today and its from MakerBot!

I went on the RRRP site and they only have about ten items for sale which seems odd!

BTW, MakerBot have been awesome, the Stepper kit was ordered last Sunday and came today (8 days).

Ive just ordered a Sanguino and breakout kit from them, just over 30 quid including postage. Ill have to get a USB to TTL cable but I reckon it was worth it!

I was making an order for some opto end stops PCBs when I noticed the previos order had not been sent.

Placing an order with Makerbot is quick but they did not have any Extruder Controller v2.1 bds at the time.

Also on my previous order to Makerbot the order was stopped by customs didnt mind that too much but the Extra £8 of handling charge the post office charged me I did mind a whole lot.

I think there is a diffrence in how packages are marked from the RRRF which means they never incurr the £8 Handling charge.

They are both ran by Zach Smith IIRC and thus the same store. RRRF had an announcement on the site a while back about makerbot being the main store now.

I always link from to the main RepRap suppliers page :-

I'm doing slightly better, I sent off for a few boards, which were shipped several days later - thank goodness for tracking.
It got missent to someone in the US (how did they not notice the NEW ZEALAND part?),
now its somewhere between the international desptach office and in transit - the tracking info isn't very good

So from June 6th till now, i'm still waiting

I didn't check tracking, but when I ordered 2 sets of bits from the US, the one that went through a customs charge took ~ 3 and a half weeks, and the one that didn't took 3 weeks. Customs charge was on the order from MakerBot, the other was the RRRF store - that one was below the customs charge threshold.
So I'd just think you need patience when ordering from the States for the UK.
