    I just made my first order to Great Plains Electronics for a good sized order of parts. But GPE is backed up and is not addressing new orders. An email inquiry asking when new orders will start to be taken again has not been answered. I don't feel like waiting around just for an answer that may not come.

    There is Mouser and there is Newark. But is there someplace else that is a good place to buy pinball electronics all in one place with one order?

    I do appreciate that he did shut down the ordering instead of stacking orders up, taking you money, and then making you wait. Thanks all. I will wait and give him the benefit.

    Quoted from G-P-E:

    Oh yeah... MUCH longer than normal.
    After opening when getting off vacation last Tuesday - I got 2 weeks worth of orders in just a couple hours. I had never seen orders come in this fast. Gave it a few days hoping it would slow down but they kept coming so I had to disable the shopping cart. Still digging out and there is light at the end of the tunnel, I just wish the tunnel wasn't so long!
    I do fill the orders in the order they arrive. Yes, it does suck when Priority is selected but, unfortunately, there isn't much I can do.

    You have a nice problem to have. What sucks is when the phone quits ringing.

    Quoted from Travish:

    When we are swamped at work people say "that's job security" I always say "I'd like to be just a little less secure".

    Talk's cheap

    Quoted from turbo20lbs:

    Change the damn title of the thread, poor choice of words. It makes Ed sound like an ass.

    What should I change the title to say? Advise me and I will change it or ask the Mods to change it.

    But this is what is said on Ed's website, "Orders have been coming in much faster than we can possibly fill them!"

    How else do I paraphrase that other than he is 2 busy to take orders?

    "If you can't buy from GPE where do you buy?"

    That sounds good. Forceflow, can you change the title to this thread, please?

    Quoted from pinlink:

    Looks like the checkout is back up and running! Wahoo!

    Thanks for the heads up. Got my order in.
