It looks as if they have 4g units in stock. They don't say so explicitly.
They are a Vancouver company. I have not checked to see if they are authorized.
Buy-a-Pi and Canakit are both official resellers in Canada. If a vendor is listed on the raspberrypi.org website, they are an official reseller. I managed to score a 4GB Raspberry Pi 4B kit from Micro Center when I was in Ohio over the weekend. Not cheap (USD 120) but very complete: includes SD card, PSU, case, two HDMI cables, Raspberry Pi keyboard and mouse and a rather cutesy intro book. Everything but the monitor, really. Some of you might like the keyboard, if you're not about the numeric pad: https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-keyboard-and-hub/ It's a compact 78-key unit with USB micro-B input and a 3-port USB hub. It allows you to chain the mouse Apple-style, which is just as well, as the official mouse have a very short cable. Seems that Raspberry Pi (Foundation|Trading Ltd) have been completely blindsided by demand for the 4GB model, with the possibility that they're being intended as corporate thin clients or low-power desktop units. As before, the Foundation is responsible for production of the lowest-spec model to fit in with their educational remit. cheers, Stewart
