My first post on this website. Seems like a very good price. In fact it's the cheapest I think it's ever been on ozbargain? (almost too good to be true). Please post any suggestions on good PSU / Case that is on special. I've bought one myself to run hass.io (home assistant).

    I'm in the same boat, I also paid for express shipping so I could play around with it over the Christmas break. Not happy :(

      the tracking URL shows it is within Sydney at the moment so hopefully should get in a day or two. certainly, would have been nice if it was delivered last week but its almost there now. definitely will never use the express shipping and insurance options with this site in future. seems to be meaningless anyway.

      @Cheap Skate / @kiwijunglist:
      got my package yesterday. unit and case (fan) seems to be working as expected. didn't manage to test all the ports as yet as having some glitches in installing ubuntu mate on micro SD card. apparently, need to have SD card reader, won't be able to install OS / boot up pi without it. so unfortunately need to wait another few days.

    I got mine about 1 week ago. Expect delays bc Christmas.

    If it helps my microsd card and case haven't arrived, so i can't play with it.

      good to know that you got yours. may i ask which shipping option did you opt for while placing the order? i understand Christmas would add delays to shipping in general but i chose express shipping (which should be just 4-5 days ideally as per their site) for the same reason i.e. to avoid Christmas rush. anyway will wait another week and see how it goes.

      wish everyone a very happy and a prosperous new year.

        Did you ship with other items or just the one purchase which shipping option with which carrier did you choose?

        I used ePacket-track-FHR.

        @kiwijunglist:
        Thanks. Ye i used the same carrier (unknowingly though). I ordered a [case|https://www.lightinthebox.com/raspberry-pi-3-aluminum-alloy-metal-shell-with-fan_p6364275.html] alongwith the pi. Apparently, they have a tracking URL which shows that the shipment is already somewhere in Sydney now. Hopefully, should arrive soon but was wondering why they would charge for express shipping if it takes 3 weeks for items to reach :)

        @kiwijunglist: my previous RP from LITP took 7 weeks to arrive, without the Christmas break in there…
        Never order from LITB if you want it to arrive soon.

  Waiting for Auspost now. Ordered one from this deal and and also another when new deal was posted a few days later.
  Landed over east at the start of the month, another week gone by and I guess it's sitting in a corner somewhere in the Auspost depot.
