According to my calculations that’s US$ 4.42. @1.3276$/£
Now how many of them will we need to sell to fix the balance of trade deficit. 
Do they make them in the Uk?
If not, they will have to buy them in USD which will cost them more.
Do they really have them in stock? e.g old stock they bought while the pound was higher against the USD
Edit.
Ok. I checked and they have stock.
cost of postage to me is unfortunately far more than the cost of the board,
Edit.
Local suppliers here, tend to push up prices as soon as the cost to import more stuff goes up.
This is especially true of petrol, which goes up almost immediately
So anyone in the UK should also consider getting these now, as they are going to cost you more if the pound stays low
Politicians always try to spin that a falling pound is good for exporters. But of course it is just spin most raw materials (metals fuel etc) are priced in dollars so costs go up its only the (Value Added) that’s cheaper. Also the pound is now 10% cheaper so you need to sell 10% more product just to get the same amount of foreign currency in. Also your trade deficit goes through the roof as you are spending 10% more abroad even if you don’t increase the quantity you import.
£2.50 is about right for UK registered P&P It would be nice if we had the same postage rates as china. Postage in the has gone up 55% since privatisation 5 years ago and before we had 2 deliveries a day now I am lucky if I see the postman before noon.
UK international post normally cost me about £5 ish to Bahrain for a memory stick so they aren’t over egging the postage. But £6.5 for a 512K pc delivered to the UK doesn’t sound too bad although £9.5 seems a bit steep.
Edit
So I just ordered one.
Total : £8.83 GBP
So it looks like they deducted VAT from the price of the board, but it was not take off the shipping
This does seem to be cheaper than the Orange Pi that Martin linked to, as I can’t see an Orange Pi with free shipping

With the decision based, how long will they remain in stock, (assuming the pound continues its current trend until RPi Zero stocks are exhausted)
I could have save a few cents if I’d waited and ordered this morning, rather than on Saturday 
good job half my pension is in US$ based company stock and thus has gone up in £’s. The newspapers keep reporting the FTSE 100 as rising but a large number of those companies such as SHELL are effectively traded in dollars so will be up in £’s. The ftse 250 is the real UK benchmark and that’s still tanking. good job half my pension is in US$ based company stock and thus has gone up in £’s.

I wonder what One order per customer means, i.e if they were in stock and then sell out and they get another batch, can none of the previous customers buy any of the new stock.
I wonder if this is enforced, or whether it actually means 1 board per order.
BTW.
Isnt RPi supposed to bringing out a cut down RPi 3?
But its hard to work out from the various press reports, what the new board is like.
Reports talk about it as a computer, rather than mentioning embedded devices.
So it sounds like its not targetted at the same market as the Zero
that was via Pimoroni Ltd.

One thing I had to do was to cut up my micro USB to USB female adaptor, as it was a 90 deg plug (to connect to a android tablet), and the USB host port seems to be the one in the middle not the micro USB closest to the edge
But after 5 mins of careful cutting with sidecutters, I managed to turn it into a straight plug
I connected the USB host to a 4 port unpowered hub and connected my wireless mouse / keyboard dongle, and a wifi dongle and it all works fine.
Its quite a lot slower than the RPi 3, but I think people are missing the point, as I don’t think the RPi was designed to be a PC, its designed for embedded work.
I recall someone on another thread wanting to run a vocoder on an STM32F103, but I think the RPi Zero is likely to be a better option for things like that and also for video processing e.g. openCV http://www.pyimagesearch.com/2015/12/14 … y-pi-zero/
But unless you hard wire the USB devices onto the board (I have see a video of someone hard wiring a wifi adaptor), the whole thing is going to end up nearly as large as an RPi3 by the time you have the USB adaptors and hub
