I'm not aware if they have started selling the kit through any resellers yet, though i somewhat doubt it seeing as how they just now got through backlogged orders.

Id recommend opening up a live chat and asking support if they are, they would be able to answer better than us forum folk.

I do not think that is legit. I might be wrong but why would you not buy direct from Prusa?

Apparently they are a Czech company. Maybe a Prusa rep could step in and confirm if it is safe to purchase from?

Found some reviews so does not look too bad. I would have gone direct still.

Alza is OK. To be honest until now I didnt know they expanded beyond Czech Republic (its big IT seller here).

Just to say - Yep - all good. I got my i3Mk2 this morning after ordering Tuesday with the free shipping (so three days from Czech to UK - which is pretty good.

They are also selling the kits (though may only have a couple left) at the old price - which coupled with the free shipping plus the PayPal pay after delivery option (which given the price increase and the fact I didn't get paid till today means I wouldn't have ordered till next week so probably would have had to pay at least 40GBP more) ...

The .co.uk site is all in English with a support phone number that's at least routed though London even if not based there.

My only comment is that the manuals and 3D print guide were ONLY supplied in Czech - no English versions and had a Euro power plug. The second one I expected and have many spares, the first is not the end of the world as its all available on the web site.

Thought I'd post as I'd questioned them and they are pukka.
