I bought a Pi Zero last week from The Pi Hut, arrived in two days, they had loads in stock. Might be a problem with your local distributor? I'm in the UK so supply may well be better here than elsewhere.
I did get tripped up with the camera connector being a different size to normal Pis though, darn it.

- blkhawk 10y agoYa I ordered it from the UK in the end - postage was annoyingly expensive and I also ordered from the Pi Hut.
- StavrosK 10y agoHow much was shipping?
- jamesfmilne 10y ago£2.50 for a £30 order
- StavrosK 10y agoThat's not too bad, but did you get the combo package? What happens if you try to get the single Pi? Would it be 12.50 total?
- lorenzhs 10y agoYes, it's £9.60 for the RPi Zero W and £2.50 for shipping. You can buy it for £12.10 ($15) total in the UK. Not too bad, eh? Shipping to Germany from the same UK seller would be £4, or £5 for the US. That's a total of £13.60 / €16 / $17 for Germany and £14.60 / $18 for the US. You can stop pretending that shipping is $30 now.
- dbrgn 10y agoOn Pimoroni, shipping to Switzerland is also around £4. In contrast, the official distributor for Germany/Switzerland (pi3g) wants 19€ (!!!) for shipping an envelope with a single Pi Zero in it. And it prohibits reselling. In my opinion the Raspberry Pi foundation should do something against this kind of pricing to keep the boards accessible.
- StavrosK 10y agoLucky you, then. Shipping is $25 for me, to Greece.
