They didn't have a lot of stock rolling into the new year.Been waiting on a taramps dsp3000 for 6 weeks now! Anyone else had this problem with them?
Publicly, this should only be a problem with a distributor, not for the general public.
Distributors and like what Soundrive says, never have this problem when supporting those who actually do US business.
Ordering on the fly poses risks of delayed shipping, market rate shifts, carrier policy restrictions implemented at any time, etc..
During the holidays in many countries, they may restrict shipping in bulk unless you want to pay 2-3x as much through a different option which spikes sale costs.
In 2013, Brazil was restricted for economic importation. Only ways to import now are much more expensive unless you move in large bulk.
