Bit of a Mouser rant
<< < (3/8) > >>
floobydust:
It looks like profiteering keeping quantities below the higher price break  :-//

If Mouser was trying to prevent hoarding, they would limit the same-part purchase quantity from a single account, or company in the case of a brigade trying to work around that.

No distributor is committing to shipment dates right now. Digi-Key has zero advice of when they might come in, unlike Mouser which is really nice knowing is it 3 months or 18 months etc. Parts appear to trickle in sooner.
tom66:
Digi-Key does have shipment dates for some parts, but it seems to be very vendor-dependent.  Xilinx, for example, have dates for most parts, whereas TI do not.

Same experience with ATSAMD51N19A.

114 in stock.  We bought them and still 114 in stock.

I like that they are limiting bulk purchases so everyone has a chance to get a few parts.

Yes, we had same experience here ordering from UK. Their policy helps and hurts in equal measure.
At least nobody can buy all stock in one hit - it gives other folks a few chances to get what they need, if you see what I mean.
cortex_m0:
I don't see a problem. You agreed to pay the 500 piece price. They charged you the 500 piece price exactly as advertised.

Your regret for paying the 500 piece price a few days later isn't their problem.

Customer support probably could have been better but meh.
