I'm in Australia. If only there was some way to get an Arduino Uno in Australia. OH WAIT THERE IS, SNAP.

If I had karma enough to downvote advertising, I would.

FWIW, Little Bird electronics are another Australian supplier of Arduino & associated electronics. http://littlebirdelectronics.com/products/arduino-uno-r3

No association, except for being a satisfied customer.

It's always a toss-up between ordering locally & just shipping from Sparkfun, though, especially with the exchange rate.

I buy most of my hardware from Little Bird too - I could easily source it cheaper but they provide awesome service. I attended a great presentation of theirs showcasing http://ninjablocks.com/

I'm also from Australia and I could list at least a dozen places I would buy an Arduino from, before using your website that's less than a month old, and provides no contact details.

This blatant advertising is poor form.
