Rant: My project timeline got burned by a vendor typo in Dallas

Last month I was managing a rollout for a client in Dallas, and our vendor sent the wrong server specs because someone fat-fingered a part number on the order form. It cost us 11 days of rework and a chunk of the client's trust, since they caught the mismatch before we double-checked anything. Has anyone else dealt with a supplier or partner making a dumb data entry mistake that set you back, and how do you keep that from happening again?

Ugh, my friend got a wrong pallet label once. Took weeks to fix!
