I know we are always searching for places to get parts at a good price with good customer support. I just wanted to tell you that I placed a fairly large order with Newark.com and wow.. Im really impressed.
1) Shipping time: Ordered on 4-1-11 at 3pm... received 4-5-11.
2) Prices.. Electrolytics 1 to 3 cents, ceramic caps 1 to 2 cents...list goes on.
3) Packaging: The ESD items were placed in ESD film and sealed, then sandwiched between pink ESD foam, then placed in a easily accessible cardboard box with very detailed label. Each ESD item was in its own box. All other items were superbly packaged with labels.
4) Customer service: I ordered the wrong size electro caps (way too big..high voltage). When I spoke with the rep, which was no wait time, he told me to keep them and credited my account !
I have ordered from SB, PPP and Mammoth and havent seen this level of quality yet.
I've been meaning to try these guys out...
