Subject: Re: [OT]: Strange Microchip Email Hi Sean, Same situation as you, but just that the board never arrived. They provided= me a tracking number too. Tried putting that number in the Fedex tracking = page and it says " Delivered Thursday 21/06/2018 at 14:08" Product Sample Order 30294832 Shipping Notification Microchip Shipping Notification Thank you for your order. The following order lines have shipped: Order Number: 30294832 Line: 1 Microchip Item: PIC16F18446-XPRESS Quantity: 1 Ship Date: 19-June-2018 Delivery location seems to be another state. I have not ordered it, but rec= eived a mail with my address and tracking number. But the tracking page sta= tes that it has been delivered in another state. Maybe the system, went completely nuts ?
