Looking on their website just now, I would have to drive 40 miles to walk in to a Maplin shop and buy the only Raspberry Pi they have in stock there. They could send me one or more by courier, or I could order now and collect in 5-7 days.
On the other hand, I could buy an Arduino Micro at my nearest shop but if I wanted more than one I'd have to do a tour of South Wales and the West Country. They apparently have none they could send me.
It shows the difficulties in having your stock in hundreds of places round the country.
