Subject: Urgent – Repeated Lead Time Changes on PO REDACTED – Request for Alternative Product & Conditional Cancellation

Description:

We are logging this call to escalate a serious issue regarding repeated, unexplained lead time changes on Purchase Order REDACTED, submitted on 28 May 2026.

Summary of lead time changes:

  • 29 May 2026: Lead time confirmed as 26 June 2026 (per Cin Sum’s and Sweta Archary’s emails, attached).
  • 24 June 2026: Lead time revised to 12 August 2026 (per Rohan Bhandari’s email, attached).
  • 24 June 2026: 12 August 2026 date reconfirmed as correct by Kartikey Tripathi (email attached).
  • Now: We have been informed the lead time has moved again to 11 December 2026 — approximately six months from the original order date, with no explanation provided.

Impact:
Our client is extremely dissatisfied and is considering cancelling the order. This delay is no longer acceptable given the repeated changes and lack of communication.

Our requests:

  1. Please confirm whether an equivalent product/item is available that can be shipped immediately.
  2. If an equivalent is available, we would like to proceed with that instead, and cancel REDACTED accordingly.
  3. If no equivalent is available, please provide a clear explanation for each lead time change, including the most recent one, and confirm the accuracy of the 11 December 2026 date.
  4. We request direct contact details (phone/email) for your Supply Chain Manager, as this requires urgent attention beyond general customer care.

Attachments: Email correspondence from REDACTED, REDACTED, REDACTED, and REDACTED confirming the above timeline.

We require an urgent response given the risk of order cancellation and the impact on our client relationship.

Hello jeanetta.minnaar,

Welcome to the DigiKey TechForum.

The FIREDAM200-5G is a non stocking product for us so lead times will apply. Unfortunately, we don’t have a lot of information on the lead time other than what is given, and those lead times are subject to change. For more lead time information and any expedite requests, please contact our Orders@digikey.com personnel, or call them at 1-800-344-4539.

I was also not able to locate any equivalent alternate products to this that we had in stock.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
