Author Topic: Where can I buy a Rigol DS1054Z in the UK? (Read 10107 times)

LektroiD · « **on:** March 06, 2015, 10:13:09 am »

There's a few outlets I've found, but they all have a minimum shipping of 3-4 weeks. Even Rigol's own UK site has never had stock of these as far as I can see (I've been on the mailing list since launch).

I can't wait for 3-4 weeks, as I'm moving to a new property around the end of this month.

Any idea where I can buy one in the UK (without a premium price tag) with next day shipping?

Batronix. German, but that should hardly matter for shipping.

FWIW, Rigol-UK is not connected to Rigol, they are an independent distributor... Telonic Instruments, IIRC.

Correct. I bought a couple of things from Telonic, great service.

I can also vouch for Telonic's service.

I got mine from Batronix, they are sold out at the moment, but they offer fast delivery when in stock, no problems with my order.

Bought mine from Telonics, ordered mid Nov 2014, delivered mid Dec 2014. They kept me informed about the delay, but didn't give a shipping date until they had the items which is better than guesstimating about an incoming shipment I suppose.

I bought a DS1074Z last year, from Telonic. Their website said no stock but I asked anyway, turned out they had one!

Great service, would recommend.

FWIW, deliveries to the UK from Batronix typically take four days, compared to one day from the UK distributors. However, with the current Euro Pound exchange rate, there is a very good reason to order from Europe if you're in the UK.

I recommend contacting Drieg here on the forums, or directly on his website (below).. He owns Silcon Electronics s.r.o. in the Czech Republic. He's an awesome guy and can do a better price than most local OR European dealers. Plus the support you get is second to none..

We've got some coming in on 16th March. Depending what time they arrive on that monday, we can do free next day delivery (ie before 3pm). Got 9 still available from this shipment. Price is £230.16 (£276.19 inc VAT)

You can pre-order online: http://www.mcs-testequipment.com/product/rigol-ds1054z-digital-oscilloscope/

Also have promotion on Rigol at moment - enter code 'rigolcomp' at checkout to receive 10% discount

LektroiD · « **Reply #11 on:** March 06, 2015, 04:55:32 pm »

16th March is doable. End of the week now, but can place the order on Monday.

I appreciate the advice about Silicon Electronics in Czeck Republic, but would rather keep my transaction within the UK.

Oops! I dun sticked one in de basket fingy and typed in me credit card wossname. Then there were only eight.....

LektroiD · « **Reply #13 on:** March 06, 2015, 05:21:02 pm »

Sent a PM to MCS Test Equipment, but when I looked for the message I'd sent it was not there. Maybe I should type out the message again and post it here, publicly, unless someone knows how I can access my outbox from this forum?

Or if MCS Test Equipment can confirm receipt of the message I sent, that would be great.

gmit77 · « **Reply #14 on:** March 06, 2015, 05:26:21 pm »

ciao, we will have stock again from the March 13th we ship to UK, 2 days to your door. we also offer bundles.

MCSTestEquipment · « **Reply #15 on:** March 09, 2015, 11:28:14 am »

Yes, got your message thanks. Have replied

tom66 · « **Reply #16 on:** March 09, 2015, 12:23:34 pm »

I bought mine from Lambda Photo (when the DS1074Z was available) and had good service. Though, at the time, they were the only distributor with UK stock.

LektroiD · « **Reply #17 on:** March 19, 2015, 01:04:03 am »

I have to say a massive thanks for the brilliant service provided by MCS. I'll be going back there for all my future purchases.

MCSTestEquipment · « **Reply #18 on:** March 19, 2015, 09:27:04 am »

You're welcome! Hope you enjoy your new scope

arekm · « **Reply #19 on:** March 29, 2015, 01:06:02 pm »

MCS seems sold out "Estimated Delivery Time: 13 week lead time. **Estimated delivery 15th JUNE 2015**" and no paypal.

Anyway - looking for Europe site with good price, stock and ability to pay via paypal (preferably in $).

Gosh!

I am reading an Australian Forum on the other side of the world, and completely by chance see a comment for a supplier within walking distance of my house. I wish I'd known that when I bought my own DS1054.

Do you have a store I can browse around? Or a catalogue? Your websites don't exactly give a lot away!

I4E · « **Reply #22 on:** February 18, 2016, 01:58:26 am »

Hello

We don't have a catalogue but our website is www.instruments4engineers.com It's a simple site at the moment while the rest of it is being worked on. The Rigol DS1054Z's are not on the site but we can supply all Rigol products.

Have a fantastic day everyone :-)
