feeling frustrated and defeated tonight because ugh inductors

got a quote for the part we need, and it cost like 1/4 as much as we were expecting

but it has a 12 week lead time and the minimum order quantity is 32 so we're still paying $1400 to get 32 of a part we need only 4 of, and we won't actually get it until june
