Don't forget peeps that SMC also has threads on Hobby Talk and maybe other forums.
Who knows how many people have been waiting for the order to come in, may have been 1000 packs of each type but everyone orders 2 or 4 packs and you only need 250 or 500 people to sell out that pack type.
They may have had local people stop by and put names in notification or maybe they can do pre-order in person who can say.
I'm sure they are frustrated, if it was my business I know I would be, having tons of customers wanting my product but not being able to get my product from manufacturer in a timely fashion.
Hoping next order is due in real soon.
Kind of decided these are the batteries I want to run, and not gonna be happy compromising. That being said having an expensive shelf ornament SUCKS.
