#Digikey free ruler android
The shopping cart no longer showed that some items were on a backorder, but the Android app did show them as such when I was trying to place an order. Yea, I had a bad experience just yesterday too.

How long until they start looking for "alternative sources" for their out of stock products - if they haven't already? DigiKey has dropped considerably in trustworthiness. Had they just used the real backorder dates (and stopped trying to hide them) this could have been easily managed and planned around. These fake DigiKey backorders have caused serious problems for us because we took DigiKey at their word and now we can't build the product we're supposed to right now.

This is something I expect from someone on AliExpress, not DigiKey FFS. These sorts of shenanigans from a supposedly reputable distributor is borderline unethical if not outright scammy. At first I thought it was just a mistake, but now after speaking with their sales team I think it's done deliberately to avoid losing sales due to the current long backorder times. In one case an order was pushed to several months beyond the published backorder date, implying that even some of their published backorder dates are fake. And even then they state that the order will ship a few days out (around exactly 1 week.) However, after making payment if you check the status of the order the shipping date is now pushed back to the backorder date. Parts that are backordered no longer show up as backordered on the product listing page, but only when they're in the cart.

I've run into an issue using DigiKey the past few months.
