Have to say that recently I keep coming back to Mouser, despite the lousy 
GBP/USD exchange rate. They just seem to have more components tuned to the 
things I'm trying to make - fewer design compromises than if I try to 
manage within the usual UK-domiciled suspects like Farnell & RS. They also 
do free Fedex for all orders above a pretty modest threshold, which is much 
appreciated during these screwed-up times when the regular post is 
suffering from the reduction in scheduled air travel - Fedex just keep on 
trucking with their own planes. Oh, and for one or two specific things I've 
gone to Rapid Electronics as well.

I use octopart to find weird components out of production.  Good place to look 
Paul!

Weird and wonderful hardware: https://www.mcmaster.com/ 

Another electronics site, seem especially good for transformers: 
https://www.arrow.com/

I’m surprised no one has mentioned https://octopart.com/, which shows 
prices from multiple sources. I guess I don’t use it much either, but I 
should - it also has BOM manager.

I purchase most of my stuff from Digikey and Adafruit, with a few items 
from Aliexpress.  I've never had a problem with Aliexpress, just keep in 
mind the long lead times (~6 weeks).
I've also used Pololu Robotics and Electronics, http://www.pololu.com
They have a laser-cutting service that has come in handy.

I've made maybe 15 or 20 purchases and never had a problem. You have to 
wait maybe a month to 6 weeks, but generally no problem.

Banggood have a load of pretty cute stuff, some of it the same as 
AliExpress, and they have a UK (and probably a US) warehouse too. I bought 
a really nice Pi 4 heatsink and it took 3 days to come, like I ordered last 
week during lockdown and it still took just a few days.

Gregbert - I have made about 30 Aliexpress purchases and have yet to have a 
problem, it's just that you need to know what you want 40 days in advance 
due to the delivery times.

Nick - How much business have you done on AliExpress ? I've only bought 1 
item (box of 1000 green NE-2 bulbs), and the sale was fine, but I've heard 
concerns some sellers aren't vetted like they are on Ebay.

There is a lot of really neat industrial product available, and I'd like to 
purchase more, but I'm a bit too cautious to jump-in.

I buy from all the usual online places, but there's a local old brick and 
mortar independent family owned electronics store in Needham, MA called You Do 
It Electronics I like to support. That place is great, it's like stepping back 
in time to RadioShack in the 70s. They sell online too.

I'm based in Switzerland, in addition to mouser and digikey, the german 
companies conrad and reichelt also offer a "swiss package". You can pay in 
CHF with the correct taxes and no customs fees. 
Sometimes I also order components from LCSC, for example if I need 100 
DS3231MZ+ :-)

UK here too, so basically most of the above (Farnell, RS, Rapid etc.) plus we 
get Digikey and Mouser over here too.

I also use Banggood and AliExpress for some neat bits, especially for the IoT 
stuff and cute things like Raspberry pi accessories, plus I do a lot of 
woodworking/cabinetry so use Axminster, Timberline and other specialist 
suppliers for that.

I'm in the UK and if I need things in a hurry then RS Components are 
excellent and surprisingly well priced - free next day delivery on all 
stock items. After that it's Farnell then for everything else I'm happy to 
wait so it's ebay and Alliexpress.

https://uk.farnell.com/
https://jlcpcb.com/ - my current favourite PCB supplier
