When will Propellers (DIP) be in stock?

Hi,

Just wondering how long it usually takes for propeller chips (the DIP ones) to come back into stock? I have been trying to buy some from a North American distributor for a week or so now and everyone is out of stock! I am anxious to get one so I can start on some new projects. : )

Thanks

    The last message from Parallax was that they were expected to be in stock at Parallax by December 7th. How long it will take their distributors to get them was not estimated.

    noobmuncher,

    I sent you a personal message offering to sell you two of my Propeller DIPs at cost($7.99 USD).· I'm still willing to sell you them.· If you want to buy them, send me a PM with your address and how you want them shipped.

    dMajor I tried most of those links and they were either out of stock or didn't ship out of the country.

    We're equally anxious, and we've done everything possible to speed up the delivery to Parallax. I've even met with the various suppliers in Taiwan two weeks ago.

    How quick distributors receive them is totally up to the distributor. If they've got an order in with Parallax then we'll ship it the day we have stock (currently estimated first week in December).

    Okay well that's good to know, I think i have my hands on one now, but we will see in a day or two to see if this company ACTUALLY has any in stock. If not i am canceling my order through them and using different methods to get one. From now on I am definitely going to keep a spare kicking around.

    noobmuncher,

    What's the company? I can tell you if they have inventory pretty easily since I know every single distributor and can contact them quickly.

    Look seeing folks pull together through this!
    Just earmarked the two spares I have for another vendor who is out of them.

    Hang in there! We'll make it gang! [noparse]:)[/noparse]
