Has anyone had success getting a response to order one of the dev kits ? Sfards don't seem to respond to emails.
I got them on email again today, but they were quite silent for a few days before that.
Did you get your samples?
I have been busy on another project and didn't want to pay the samples before I had time to use them.
I'll pay for them tomorrow and let you know when I'll get them.
What magic word did you use in the email ? I am still not able to get them.
The clear disregard to customers/potential email might be a sign in any case. Will follow up again and probably just forget them. We obtained samples from SP-Tech but would have loved to look and Sfards chips considering they were providing a complete dev kit.
Somehow the following sentence in your email helps companies pay attention: I want to buy lots and lots of stuff from you. Trust me, with zeus it got me a reply within the hour (while 3 other mails for weeks went unanswered).
Not lots and lots of stuff, but some bare chips if they are working as expected and if the bulk price is right.
Samples shipped today, the DHL tracking number have an estimated delivery date on wednesday.
I'll update the dropbox tomorrow, there were 3 misplaced tracks in the schematics.
