Element14 lead times not to be trusted

I've found e14 to be unreliable a few other times, so I order most things through Mouser and Digikey now.

But recently I needed a 38999 series connector asap, saw e14 had them in stock for next day delivery so placed an order. After two days it hadn't arrived so I contacted them, turns out it it won't be in stock until April 14th.

What annoys me the most is they acknowledged the website was wrong over a week ago and it still hasn't been updated.    >:(

I've mostly found them to be reliable, and I'd understand if they went to the shelf and it was empty, but to still be showing them as in stock next day would annoy me too

I've had faultless very prompt service from https://mil-spec.com.au/ if you're still in need of that part

Thanks, I don't know that one, will check them out.


Digikey cancelled one of my orders without asking recently so I guess no distributor is perfect.  ;)

Just an update, the connector did arrive on the 14th April (to the day).

But the website still lists the part as next day delivery...

Maybe some disruption at the AU warehouse meaning orders get delayed?
