Fort Worth = Mouser.
TI are axing existing distributors
From
http://www.ti.com/lit/ml/ssdl003/ssdl003.pdfQuoteIn 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 MouserInteresting 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.
Moreover, I doubt TI will meet the same shipping timelines as DK and Mouser do.
I purchased some ICs direct from TI a few years ago because they were cheaper than digikey. It was maybe 30pcs or so, and I was getting some dev boards from TI anyway so I figured I might as well add them to the list. They arrived in identical packaging to Digikey, except that there were no digikey logos or digikey part numbers anywhere; they weren’t scribbled out or anything, there was just blank space where they should be. But the complicated label on the anti static bag with the various barcodes was almost certainly using the same digikey label generator.
So maybe digikey is providing a drop ship service for TI, and they are just subsidising the cost?

Sorry to resurrect this thread but has anyone in EU placed an order directly from TI? If so, did you get hit by custom fees, etc.. or the price shown is the total price?

Would that be because you only received a single reply in that other thread after waiting for three long hours?

Please don't double-post, thank you.

I've ordered reels many times from them directly, sale is done thru TI in Germany with german VAT, so if this is for a business then no VAT, it its personal then you'll get VAT. Same as Mouser.
Yes ti.com, you don't deal directly with TI germany. Shipping could take a little longer than Mouser, 3-7 days, because it ships from Asia, and delays are usual.

I thought they shipped from Digi-Key in USA.Why would TI sell and ship their own inventory, at prices much lower than those of Mouser/Digikey, from Digikey?
All of the different items I've ordered came from Malasia where probably they have a factory, and this may not be the only worldwide location, but probably a main one.
That there patriot act is really working well ,just look how the sale of us made chips to russia has declined in the past year or 2.
I am thinking that given non USA orders that get delayed this may be an export control thing.
For those who never get answers from the US suppliers about why their orders are flagged, look up the US "Patriot" Act. A company, educational institution, or individual cannot even divulge they have been contacted under penalty of imprisonment.
It was Librarians who fought it the most; and I think they still refuse to comply. Not sure. This is Star Chamber stuff.

Given that a common viewable status of international orders from DK and Mouser is “export compliance review” (or something to that effect), it’s no secret when that’s the holdup. If a company fails to reply, it’s simply because they’re being shitty at communicating, as most companies seem to be regardless of the purpose of the communication.
It was Librarians who fought it the most; and I think they still refuse to comply. Not sure. This is Star Chamber stuff.They were just vocal about it, and the media picked up on their clever use of “canary” signs to indicate whether they’d been subpoenaed. (I.e. they’d have a sign posted saying something like “We have not received any subpoenas under the PATRIOT Act in the last 3 months.”, so if you saw the sign disappear, then you would know that they had been subpoenaed.)
