Mouser
I placed an order with Mouser for some Rs and Cs at 1PM yesterday. When
I came home for lunch today, the order was on my porch. You can't beat that service! Raymond |

You can't beat that service! Raymond Frankly, that's just a little spooky! They're the one for Vishay/Dale RNxx, and Fairchild FETs. B b |

In Australia we do not have Mouser, neither Digi-Key. Here we have Farnell (Newark in the USA) and RS Components. If an order is placed before noon, it will be delivered in the afternoon. If an order is placed in the afternoon, it will be delivered the next day. Both RS and Farnell are very similar in service and pricing, since they "compete" with each other. What is your impression of RS and Farnell compared to Mouser and Digi-Key? Is there any difference between Mouser and Digi-Key? Just curious from down under... Same in the UK. They deal with delivery costs differently, and both offer various levels of service, with next day the norm. The Farnell man has his own van, and a gadget networked with their warehouse system. We also have Maplin which have retail shops selling the most common commodity components. Retail over the net has generally had to compete with high street shops, and supermarkets, so you would expect effective and efficient delivery systems by now. Often you can track the progress of your order on line. Ian |

I don't know what their secret is but they're lighting fast, with pricing better than most, and are my primary source. The only down side is don't make a mistake because the order is picked and on it's way before you can say boo-boo. In Australia we do not have Mouser, neither Digi-Key.

Same in the UK. They deal with delivery costs differently, and both
offer various levels of service, with next day the norm. The Farnell man has his own van, and a gadget networked with their warehouse system. I am in the UK also, and have used all of them. The problem we have with Mouser & DigiKey is (often) they are sent from the USA, so are slower and you have the irritation of getting a 2nd demand, often with an additional fee, from the courier to deal with VAT/ import duty. So usually we use Farnell or RS. Used to be a bigger difference in cost/ service with RS more expensive but better deliver and stock held, but its less of a factor these days. I have has stupidity from Farnell when a part is "awaiting delivery", only to place the order and then get an email that they were looking at 3 *months* wait! That is just taking the **** really for an on-line stock system. There are others worth looking at, such as Rapidonline, and to a lesser degree Maplin (not much use these days for components, but lots of assembled stuff). Regards, Paul |
