We are receiving orders from chip purchasers other than our own 6 batches, and will not be holding any components in reserve for those that have purchased chips from us.
Translation- if you have ordered chips and only chips, that does NOT reserve any other components for you UNTIL you order assembly. When you order assembly, you are buying those components at that time. His point was to light a fire under your asses to order assembly ASAP, not to say that he's going to shaft all his customers.
Give him a little credit, here!
