content: There's a few outlets I've found, but they all have a minimum shipping of 3-4 weeks. Even Rigol's own UK site has never had stock of these as far as I can see (I've been on the mailing list since launch).I can't wait for 3-4 weeks, as I'm moving to a new property around the end of this month.Any idea where I can buy one in the UK (without a premium price tag) with next day shipping?

content: FWIW, Rigol-UK is not connected to Rigol, they are an independent distributor... Telonic Instruments, IIRC.

content: I got mine from Batronix, they are sold out at the moment, but they offer fast delivery when in stock, no problems with my order.

content: Bought mine from Telonics, ordered mid Nov 2014, delivered mid Dec 2014. They kept me informed about the delay, but didn't give a shipping date until they had the items which is better than guesstimating about an incoming shipment I suppose.

content: I bought a DS1074Z last year, from Telonic. Their website said no stock but I asked anyway, turned out they had one!Great service, would recommend.

content: Quote from: Ice-Tea on March 06, 2015, 11:41:14 amFWIW, deliveries to the UK from Batronix typically take four days, compared to one day from the UK distributors. However, with the current Euro Pound exchange rate, there is a very good reason to order from Europe if you're in the UK.

content: I recommend contacting Drieg here on the forums, or directly on his website (below).. He owns Silcon Electronics s.r.o. in the Czech Republic. He's an awesome guy and can do a better price than most local OR European dealers. Plus the support you get is second to none..Silcon Electronics s.r.o.L.

content: 16th March is doable. End of the week now, but can place the order on Monday.I appreciate the advice about Silicon Electronics in Czeck Republic, but would rather keep my transaction within the UK.

content: Sent a PM to MCS Test Equipment, but when I looked for the message I'd sent it was not there. Maybe I should type out the message again and post it here, publicly, unless someone knows how I can access my outbox from this forum?Or if MCS Test Equipment can confirm receipt of the message I sent, that would be great.

I wish I'd known that when I bought my own DS1054.Do you have a store I can browse around? Or a catalogue? Your websites don't exactly give a lot away!
