Bit of a Mouser rant
<< < (4/8) > >>
Siwastaja:
Needless rant.

Obviously, they are limiting how much a single customer can buy, to prevent hoarding parts and worse, gray market shitheads from buying all the stock just to sell it at 10x the price for those who actually needs the part.

So they are doing the good thing. Thanks to the policy, you were able to get at least some of the parts and keep some level of production going.

I have had to answer questions to Digikey about the end customer, volumes, drop dead dates etc. Providing this information, I was able to get some parts a year earlier.

This is the times we live in. Part hoarding and gray market is a huge issue.

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.

Bottom line:

The only winner here is Mouser. I still got all 2500 parts and the increased production cost gets passed on to our customers. I guess you're ok with the stuff you buy going up in cost while some distributor makes increased profit?

cheers,
george.

Correct. I do not object to Mouser making an extra $380 off of you.

Passing on added cost to your customers is your company's choice. I'm willing to be the increased cost was significantly more than the $0.14 per unit Mouser took.
TimFox:
Supplies are short.  Rationing is one way to cope, and it might increase profit.  Why should one person get all the cookies?
MikeK:
I can understand the rationing, but if he's ordering 2500 across three days how is that any different than 2500 at once?  They should remove the upper bulk discounts from showing then.
