| Bit of a Mouser rant |
| << < (3/8) > >> |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
