Are you talking about this PIC? I kind of want to see that proof, as element14 probably buys them from Shenzen for $0.20 and sells them back to you in Hong Kong?
http://www.element14.com/community/search.jspa?q=pic16lf1459-i-soIt's bad business to continue taking orders, ignoring people that you already took money from in any case.
There is absolutely no stock in ShenZheng ~ so now u're thinking PIC16 only cost $0.2 ~ not possible ~ should be lke $1 at less, then well get it for two ~ check carefully u will see the IC is in UK ~ not even have stock in SG ~ In which UK stock is 7 working days to delivery to HK ~
so I choosed Mouser only 3 days needed ~
BigJRepair, if u still got my number no. just send me a message in Whatsapp ~ I will show u some pictures ~
All the China supply listed that 2 weeks for ordering this chips, and charge $2 ! So it is hopeless ~
Thanks for Mouser arrived ~ BigJRepair : I think the board u order is a no A3255 Chips version ~ U paid in 10th Jan ~ Today it is send out @ 17 Jan ~ I Told Mr. " BigJRepair ", he son was sick & send him a proof on email ! Hope he is satisfy ~ Everybody is rushing ~ but when some board didn't pass testing it will cost delay ~ & burn up component ~ Unfornately, China had no manufacturer really use PIC16LF1459 ~ so order would take 3 days ~ Even thro I'm up all weekend ~ I can't really work it orders, as my son was having Serious Flu, High Fever 40.2 ~ On Monday - Tuesday he start to get well, but then I got his Flu ~ I was in massive pain for 4 days ~ BigJRepair + another 2 order have delayed! Anyway, I have been working all the time ~ 4 hours sleep avg. The Avalon 2 reference Design, is not something I make to sell ~ Is a client who want like to have ~ So we help them by sharing the volume out ~ As we need order parts for 3TH, to be more cost effective for all parties ~

In Groups, it is always cheaper ! Live stock, with Higher price is normal ~
