Brief

Connor Kapoor arranged a step-up transformer install: his electrician initially said typical lead times are 4–6 weeks. Connor found the required unit in stock at @Maddoxxfmr with a 3-day lead time. The electrician responded enthusiastically and scheduled the job to begin the following week.

Why it matters

Connor Kapoor needed a step-up transformer for an install in his shop and was told standard lead times were 4–6 weeks by the electrician.

Key details

  • @Maddoxxfmr had the exact step-up transformer in stock with a 3-day lead time, which Connor showed to the electrician.
  • Upon seeing the short lead time, the electrician replied “fuck yeah, buy it right now” and agreed they could start the install next week.

Thank you @Maddoxxfmr 🤝

electrician doing a step-up transformer install in our shop said the lead times are too long for transformers right now; we would have to wait 4-6 weeks.

I showed him @Maddoxxfmr and how they had the step-up we needed in stock, with a 3-day lead time.

He said: "fuck yeah, buy it right now and we'll start next week"
