I placed an order for some ADI DSP's back in May, with a promised delivery date in September.
September comes and goes, I ask DK "what's up? I haven't heard anything!"
"OH, YOUR PARTS ARE DELAYED UNTIL Q4 2023. BUT IF YOU ANSWER THIS LIST OF QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT THESE ARE TO YOU, AND WHAT YOUR APPLICATION IS, AND MAYBE PAY MORE, WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO"
How is this possibly an acceptable business practice? Did DK or ADI sell them out from under me? Now I have to beg and plead to reduce their 2.5year leadtime, when I was promised 4 months?
I'm pretty pissed about all this, and am unsure if I should be more pissed at DK or ADI.
