Yes, 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.

On 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.

Yes pi3g is terrible. Kiwi Electronics (Netherlands) seems very reasonable (€15.50 to Germany), along with The Pi Hut (UK, ca €16).

Thank you, both of those shipped with very reasonable rates. I've bought a Pi Zero W, thanks!

Lucky you, then. Shipping is $25 for me, to Greece.
