Now I'm in the finishing stages of my latest project, software only needs some finishing touches and hardware wise all I'm missing is four buttons for the keypad and two connectors. I ordered those parts last thursday and expected delivery on monday at the latest, usually the supplier is VERY reliable.
(German company:
www.buerklin.de, 95% next day delivery and practically never out of stock)
Come monday the UPS guy has nothing for me, tuesday the same and also nothing on wednesday.
That is highly irregular, so I ring them up.
Turns out they moved offices/warehouses and their complete IT system transfer went pear shaped - nothing moves. They might start commissioning deliveries next tuesday or wednesday! No one knows how long it takes to work off the back log of orders - might be 1-2 weeks.
Aaargh! And no one else stocks the damned buttons I need. Same with the connectors, the only other distributor only sells them in MOQ of 25 pieces. F@!#~ng hell
