> Crowd Supply’s fulfillment was the exception. Crowd Supply is now part of Mouser, a billion dollar distribution machine which routinely handles products in tape and reel. The Mouser acquisition of Crowd Supply was supposed to bring them staff, make them more responsive, and improve their sales reach; instead, I’ve encountered the opposite. There’s more process than ever: purchase orders take weeks, fees are higher, service quality has declined, and shipping times are slower. Crowd Supply also takes the largest cut of any vendor in the supply chain – 46% of the cash raised went to them.
