Bro the same thing happened to me

I was notified that I could also purchase the ESP32-C5-WROOM-1 N8R4 in addition to the ESP32-C5 SoCs.

Extra time was arranged, and the seller posted it online.

Online in the meeting and received the link, purchased, and paid.

Followed by this message:

What?
What the hell is this all about!?
I then canceled ALL my entire order, including the ones I'd already paid for.

Why does the official Espressif shop on Aliexpress promise customers stock and goods, only to discover after the purchase that there's no stock and want to request other types of goods?

People! People!
It just keeps going downhill. Now such simple promises are no longer being kept?!

After discovering that the WROOM-1 has been available since December last year, why aren't we notified?

I'm writing this here quite deliberately because it sounds almost unbelievable. We've been on the Espressif path since 2013/2014, and you haven't been able to get the problem under control since then. Sometimes it is promised kits that are suddenly no longer available, sometimes it is certain revisions that are promised. And, even more devastating: You don't get a notification when it's available.
