Lol, like 95% of the SD cards I have at home are Sandisk. Luckily I found another card in a camera that should work fine.
Good luck, it seems some peoples pi get through with no delay, but others get snookered. Spoke to a manager at customs (OR Tambo), he said the item although low value went through the process because DHL put the wrong code on and no invoice was attached. They get this very often with DHL, apparently DHL just want to claim their R 100. It might take 7 days, dependent on how quickly DHL gets the paperwork sorted out.

I take it a silence in this thread means everyone is home and messing around with their Pi! 
Awwww... it's, like, sooooo cute!
Nicked the SD card from the digital photo frame in the living room and going to get debian running soon.

Well this is nice. 
This Midori browser stresses this little guy out a bit though.
Didn't have a USB keyboard and mouse, so just plugged in my wireless receivers and they work like a charm.

As per other Pi thread:
Mine finally got cleared.
Asked a customs buddy, he said that there shouldn't be any VAT payments for it.

I got mine from DHL last week. It was picked up by them on the Friday in the UK, I got it on Monday. No extra costs!
What've you done with your one so far?
I've just put openelec.tv xmbc on this thing and it's pretty cool. Locks up now and again with the youtube addon.
Funny thing is that openelec reports max RAM of 120MB. Thought these were 256MB. That's a fair bit of RAM dedicated the video section for something with such limited resources.

I was once told that the item was marked as freight, and was being processed that way. Since DHL apparently did not have an account with DHL global forwarding, I was asked to pay the fee. I let them sit with the package for 2 weeks and told them to dump it in the bin and do not contact the sender for the fees either.
I have has packages from Fedex and UPS from Texas Instruments and other manufacturers. DHL have so far been the only ones to try and claim the extra fee for customs processing. Having read through others detailing their experiences on other forums over the years, the general consensus is that it is a source of income to the local (wherever) courier franchisee.
My customs friend told me this too. Bastards.
