Where to buy Picaxe?

There seam to be an echo of "where do I buy Picaxe", especially from newbees from the US.

Well - let´s make some web-shops happy out there, I entered picaxe.co.uk (http://www.rev-ed.co.uk/picaxe/), looked under "distributors" and found this most likely not too recently updated list:

$29 for sparfun, as opposed to the UK based retail... tech supplies, which is better, coming with cord, software, documentation, and microcontroller, cheers mate!

 

Anything that can happen, will.

Sparkfun sells the cable

Sparkfun sells the cable seperately. Sparkfun is a better deal if you are using the seriel cable, but the USB cable is like $25.

What else...?

It seems to me, that everybody uses Picaxe... But are there no alternatives that are just as good, which can be purchased in Denmark...? Or is Picaxe just tthe thing to have...?

us distributors

I have to give a thumbs up to sparkfun, they've been great with their speed in deliviering and seem pretty reasonable with the prices.

Took 3 days with the cheap snailmail delivery. 

Plus they accept paypal and seem to be able to deliver out of the country.... 

I wish they had more types of ic's but mouser seems to be able to cover that.

For Sparkfun, the shipping

For Sparkfun, the shipping says it takes 2 weeks, is that the maximum, does it actually, can anyone relate, I live on the east coast.

East coast of the US?

East coast of the US? There's no way it'd take 2 weeks. I've ordered from them many times, it always ships out the same day, and with USPS Priority Mail shipping I have it 2 days later. I'm in Knoxville, TN, so also East Coast US.

They ship from Co, but

They ship from Co, but usually it doesn't take too long for me on the west coast(southern Cali). I just placed an order today....expecting it around friday or saturday as I missed the shipout deadline for today. I'm using usps snail-mail. I'm surprised it would take so long for far east coast?

does it say itll come later

does it say itll come later then it really does?

The previous order I did was

The previous order I did was on thursday of last week, it shipped friday  but didn't say when it would arrive in the email(good ole usps) based on the usps tracking, it was in my postal area by sunday and arrived on monday...

unless you're in the boonies, I wouldn't imagine it'll would take 2 weeks...maybe thats the max time it should take?
