Quote:Got a nice email from Chicago Electronics explaining why they haven't shipped an RPi4 I can test with yet (and why they don't know when they can); not a peek (vs peep?) from Newark.
Seems that worldwide there has been over-promising and under-delivering..... not sure if this is retailer driven optimism or supplier surprise at demand....
Having ordered and received confirmation! email of delivery date then logged in to find it had been bumped one month !!!
Not happy and reminded seller of contract law..... result ...unit shipped.
I'm guessing the bricks and mortar resellers were swamped with orders and squeezed their national suppliers who then diverted online ordered stock.....
Quote:So sorry, demand has been high and your order will be delayed....
Luckily I kept screenshots of transactions....
Not a biggy, but hey, we are so under the thumb of corporate machinations we need to poke them now and then saying "no, you've done wrong...front up or else..."
Otherwise it becomes standard operating practice....
