Yeah; in a pinch I go for Amazon fulfillment product sold by Pasadena or FlyTec because they’re authorized resellers.
Ingram gave me ETAs of November 1 for product, and it’s hard to run a business with that kind of delay, or to bring it in inventory and then get punished by a customer because their unit sat on my shelf for 6 months. I dont want to eat half the warranty period when it’s stocked on my shelf before it’s deployed. When I want it in stock, it is for my own business needs as an integrator. My customers would laugh at me and find someone else if I told them it’s 6 months for product availability. I can appreciate why they’re asking, but is there that much greymarket sold in the US?
