I've used Mouser.com in the past. The people on the phone when I placed the order were way better at finding the part in their catalog, than I ever hope to be. The first time I placed an order online, it took me all evening for a dozen different parts to build a variable speed box for a salt spreader. I forget what I did the next time, but we were only on the phone for about 5 minutes. In both cases, my order was filled correctly, shipped fast, and arrived before they promised it. So I give them high marks.
What companies have you used, what experiences did you have, and why do you think that they are/are not so great to do business with? All reasons are valid: service, variety, accuracy, politeness, general attitude, shipping speed, ease of ordering, you name it, I'm interested.
I'll probably do less than a dozen more electronics projects in this lifetime, but when I do, I'm all about shopping with the best!
Thanks!
