I just got one of the boards, but never saw the email. I suspect some glitch in the gears at uChip. -----Original Message----- From: piclist-bounces@mit.edu On Behalf Of Sean B= reheny Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2018 12:01 PM To: Microcontroller discussion list - Public. Subject: Re: [OT]: Strange Microchip Email I just received a PIC16F18446-XPRESS module and the sales order number on i= ts packing list matches one of the two strange emails I received. I received an email on May 25 (the original "strange email" I wrote to this= list about) with the title: Microchip Samples Order 1109336 Acknowledgement I then received another on June 19th with the title: Product Sample Order 30293899 Shipping Notification The packing list with the sample I received today matches the number in the= title of this second, June 19th, email. I do not see the number from the p= revious email anywhere. Looking back at the list activity in March, I see that someone mentioned th= at this free sample was available and I wrote a positive reply. I don't cle= arly recall ordering one but I must have. It still doesn't explain the long= delay between when I would have ordered it (March) to when I got an acknow= ledgement (late May) and the fact that this original order number is nowher= e to be found on what I received.
