I don't claim to have any knowledge of the situation, but obviously with digikey you are paying the cost of shipping in the markups. So maybe TI has the alternate model where you pay for shipping but the margin is lower? And I think it's pretty clear that TI (or digikey) don't want to advertise that digikey was actually the supplier all along. |

I received this message as well, but it was a bit weird as it is old news: https://www.eenewspower.com/news/avnet-loses-tis-19bn-distribution-business-update |

--- Quote from: PTR_1275 on February 28, 2020, 12:44:25 am ---Ti parts had the same bags, same labels (with some Digi-Key things missing). Quite the pissoff that I had to pay shipping on the TI parts that clearly came from the Digi-Key warehouse the same day that my Digi-Key order with free shipping left. There must be some under the table stuff going between Ti and Digi-Key. --- End quote --- Digikey have been doing the fulfilment for TI samples and direct orders for quite some time. I wonder if TI hold back a certain minimum stock for their exclusive uses? Certainly annoying in your case. |

Not saying Digikey and Mouser are bad but over here Farnell and RS are (about) the only ones offering next day delivery. --- End quote --- Drove up to their warehouse in Luik a few times for "same day deliver" (pickup). Those were not good times :c |

Mine orders shipped from FORT WORTH, TX https://wpl.ext.ti.com/itc/documents/TI-store_Shipments_Support_Requests.pdf |
