Ah, that's true and ship by Fedex, of course.

The next time I will check if Mouser's or Digi's stock availability will drop after TI order.  ;D

--- Quote ---In the short term, there is no immediate change to the way customers do business with TI. In the long term, customers will continue to have the following options for doing business with TI:
•Directly with TI.
•Through Arrow, as an authorized TI distributor in all regions, with the exception of Japan.
•Through Macnica or TED, who will continue to be authorized TI distributors in Japan.
•Customers who prefer to purchase TI products online for immediate shipment may continue to do so through the TI store, or through DigiKey or Mouser

Interesting that Farnell ( Avnet) aren't on that list..

And RS Components. Not saying Digikey and Mouser are bad but over here Farnell and RS are (about) the only ones offering next day delivery.

You have Distrelect in the NL as well. I use them here in Switzerland when I need something ASAP. Here in the Zurich area, next-day is their slow shipping option — they offer same-day delivery for 20 francs!
nctnico:
But Distrelec charges 11 euro where RS charges 5 euro and Farnell has free shipping. Also I don't see Distrele mentioned in TI's announcement unless Distrelec is part of one of the distributors. BTW Farnell is pretty much standard over here so TI really shot themselves in the foot. When working on a new design I often start at Farnell looking for suitable parts. If a distri like Farnell carries a part it is likely to have some popularity which also translates into a higher chance a part will be available for a longer time. Lots of people work this way. Even Wurth (which is very pushy to order from them directly) is not ignoring the fact that many people use distris like Farnell and RS to find suitable parts for their design and hence a lot of Wurth parts are carried by Farnell and RS.
station240:
It depends on where in the world you are, as to what places have the cheapest/free postage.
For Australia, RS is free for any order, and next day (if in stock locally).
Farnell (Element14) is free for orders over AU$50, otherwise it's AU$15.
Mouser is free for (most) orders over AU$60, otherwise it's ???, and 3-5 days.
Arrow is free for orders over US$50, otherwise it's ???, and express shipping (whatever that is).

Arrow do require you to sign up for their free ArrowPerks program to get the free express shipping.

I'd prefer to keep using RS, Farnell are a pain to deal with as far as order tracking.
But TI have done this so choices are:
1. Order directly from TI, which I was thinking of doing for some orders.
2. Buy equivalent parts from say ST or On Semi, from RS.
3. Order from Mouser, as I already have parts I need but only they have.

Probably have to do all three, and live with having no way to get some parts quickly.
