Beagleboard XM in GB

British suppliers now offer the XM - uk.digikey.com at £150 including
VAT and Farnell at £138 including VAT both offering free shipping
within Britain (not sure about Ireland). Shipping expected after
October 8th.

Any hope for Africa?

Just place an order with DigiKey.

Gerald,

I reached them but they said that Fedex would charge 150USD for shipping rate. That money is too big a hit for me to absorb.

Well, you need to see what other distributors may do better. DHL is better for shipping international than FEDEX. Where exactly are you located?

Gerald

Gerald,

NIgeria.

Emeka

Great! Just shop around and let me know what you find. Give me he details on the response form each distributor. You can contact all the distributors on the main buy page. There MAY be something I can do based on what you find, but it will take some looking into.

Gerald

Gerald,

Thanks so much.

Gerald,

This is my report card:

Specialcomp … they do not ship to Nigeria.
Mouser … would not ship to Nigeria
Digi key … ships to Nigeria via Fedex.

Emeka

OK. Let me do some checking. Have you tried Farnell?

Gerald

No. I will check them out.
