Question about Raspberry Pi Pico

Seriously now, how can it be that you charge almost three times as much as Pi-shop.ch? That almost borders on piracy!

Firstly 2.55 is not almost triple but 2.55 more (for 1 piece), from 4 pieces it is 1.84x.

To answer the question:
- Pi-Shop is official retailer for Raspberry Foundation products.
- Pi-Shop still has shipping costs of 8.25 CHF (A Post)
- In general: Digitec has services that the other online shops do not have (e.g. Microspot, PC-Ostschweiz often have cheaper prices but come with e.g. manufacturer's warranty, Digitec does not necessarily and almost always replaces the devices immediately). In the case of defective products or returns, Digitec (almost) always carries out the matter quickly and without complications.

Conclusion:
If only ONE Raspberry Pico is bought, it costs 11.50 CHF at Digitec, Pi-Shop 4.5+8.25= 12.75 CHF.
So for ONE piece it is cheaper to buy at Digitec.

I bought the Raspberry Pico at Pi-Shop because I wanted it now.
