There's a lot of problems right now. The biggest right now is that it's taking a long time for stuff to ship and to get stuff through customs. We've been waiting on LM308 for the Mouse kits and M5812L for the Swede since January. As fas as I can tell, they're just sitting in US customs. Also, I don't think China is as "open" as they say it is. Things seemed to start going back to normal a month or two ago, but it seems to have been shut down again,based on correspondence that I've had with sales reps. I don't get replies for a week or two, when normally, they will reply immediately no matter what time it is over there. So now it takes a month just to hash out the proforma invoice. We've got plenty of enclosures and jacks and footswitches and other common parts on hand, but almost every kit has at least one odd ball component that makes it difficult.
All of this is compounded by the fact that we went into the pandemic with an already low inventory.
Glad to hear that it's simply because of sourcing problems. It's been several years since I have been on the boards and just as long since I built anything, but I found some older, unassembled kits in my basement after a move which brought me back to the site. I have a smallish list of new kits that I now want to get (like 11 of them so far) and I was concerned when I saw most of what I wanted was unavailable.
I'll keep checking back as I love your products and I like the thrill of building these pedals myself.
Stay healthy!
