I am based in Pune, India and trying to order this kit from element14 but the response from sales representative is that I have to sign end user license agreement and the lead time is 30-45 days.
I am ok with the agreement but I don’t understand why there is so long lead time if part is in stock.
“Customer is mis-informed if indeed he was given leadtime of 30-45 days.
Customer needs to fill-in the regulatory details, which he knows and agrees with.
It should not take more than 10 days, if not shorter, to have units delivered to Pune.
Stock is readily available.”
Hi, @asyal thank you for your response. I have received a second email clarification from E14 and below is their response. But I have manged to order the part from Digikey and hope to receive it in few days.
"Yes we have part in stock at our UK WH . This part is export restriction to India.

@asyal@Jas I finally got my Mangoh green starter development kit ordered from Digikey. However WP8548 module is missing. Is this normal? Should i contact Digikey?
@asyal
The kit content image on e14 shows that module is included. also the buy links on mangoh website mention as starter kit + wp8548.
So does that mean if the kit is bought from e14, it will come along with module and when bought from Digikey, the module has to be purchased separately?
