When I ordered them months ago they didn’t have as many as I wanted, so I ordered all that they had in stock. I guess they were a few short, so instead of throwing them into one of the boxes I got since (basically every week) they shipped a whole box filled with bubble wrap and a small bag with 3 caps from Texas to Germany.</span><br style="font-family: Monaco;" class=""><br style="font-family: Monaco;" class=""><span style="font-family: Monaco;" class="">Great.</span><br style="font-family: Monaco;" class=""><br style="font-family: Monaco;" class=""><br style="font-family: Monaco;" class=""><span style="font-family: Monaco;" class="">Mark</span><br style="font-family: Monaco;" class=""><br style="font-family: Monaco;" class=""><span style="font-family: Monaco;" class="">PS. In the last 2 weeks every part has started to show short supply with delivery dates well into 2022. I can only assume if I want 10,000 TL082CDR and they have 34 in stock and 14,000 on order coming in July 2022 that I will not be the one to get them from that shipment. Things are about to get interesting. I’m now exploring the military and Industrial temperature ranges and asking why a low offset TL082 is more expensive than a TL052 but I digress….</span><br style="font-family: Monaco;" class=""><br style="font-family: Monaco;" class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On May 21, 2021, at 12:45 PM, Roman Sowa <<a href="mailto:modular@go2.pl" class="">modular@go2.pl</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="">Today I have received one of my orders from Microchip placed in March.<br class="">One part number, but I got it in 9 bags!
