Last summer my Mitsumi got hung up in at least a week in US customs. It all arrived ok, but you could tell which packages had been sealed in Japan and which opened by Customs.
The sheet metal pieces have been a nightmare for us…
Misumi has sent us several of the pieces TWICE and the large panels THREE times because they were damaged in shipping.
We still haven't received the large sheet pieces without damage, but I gave up…
So, we haven't really run into any long lead time problems with Misumi -- but definitely supply chain issues…
On the other hand -- the E-stop switch took several weeks to arrive from Mouser. The button assembly itself arrived quickly, but the electronic portion of the switch was severely back ordered.
