Lot's of experience with them all good. Slow ship times usually around 2 weeks 
for me in here Oregon, US. I usually use them for bulking up on low supplies 
but never if I need it fast.

They are slow. But the stuff is what they say it is. I've had two 
problems, one wrong item and one defective item. Both were cheerfully 
replaced but it took a lng time to get 'em.

I've also had good luck with Futurlec - but they are slow (possibly the 
mail service is the reason). They sent me a wrong part, and immediately 
sent the right part, and did not even want the old wrong part sent back.

My limited experience is from when I ordered a bunch of MOSFETs from them.
Took about a month delivery to UK. One complain was that they were 
delivered in a simple plastic bag, no antistatic measures whatsoever.

Similar experience. 

Speed: always slow, no point in asking when something will be despatched, 
as they either don't reply or reply but give something unspecific like 
soon. 

Packaging: generally poor. Parts generally arrive wrapped in cellophane, 
bent pins on SMD parts not unusual, sometimes no labelling.

I also don't like the way that they hold credit card details without asking 
(assuming they still do that.) 

Otherwise, though, cheap, and as described.

I don't think this qualifies as a reasonable price ;-) Nixie prices are 
really sky-rocketing... Good news that Dalibor is almost there to make 
his own Nixie tubes :))

It has been a while.. but I have ordered from them in the past.  They 
seem to take a couple of weeks to Process the order, then they airmail 
it from Some place like Thailand.  Don't know if that is actually their 
headquarters or not.

Re: [neonixie-l] Futurlec?

2013-02-24 Thread chuck richards
Well Futurlec looks to have some pretty decent
prices on a few items I have been looking for.
4536 is 36 cents each for (25) or more.
Digi-Key's best price for 4536 is 41.32 cents each.

74HCT245 costs 29 cents each at Futurlec, where as
Digi-Key's best price is around 37 cents.

4538 costs 40 cents each at Futurlec.   Those pop up
at various other places for anywhere from 50 cents to a buck
each!

Futurlec also has some nice 5 volt DPDT relays that have
2 amp contacts and have the standard 16-pin DIP pinout.
Those cost around 80 cents each.  Best price for them
elsewhere is $1.49 each.

Futurlec also has some very reasonable shipping costs.
They do NOT charge sales tax, either

That is one thing I find very annoying about Digi-Key
any more.  Ever since they started charging sales tax
unless one has a tax number I find myself feeling like
I got ripped off every time I order from them.

Digi-Key is fast and they package the stuff very professionally.
For what they charge for everything including tax and shipping
they darn well ought to be professional!

Maybe I will give Futurlec a try.
Sounds like there is at least a fighting chance of
actually receiving the goods.

Thanks everybody for your insights about this.

Hey while I am at it, anyone know where to get
XR2206?   Jameco lists them at $6.49 each!!

Ebay is much cheaper for XR2206, down around $2 each,
but there one must deal with most dubious sources from
Taiwan and China.  Anybody know where a stash of cheap
XR2206 ics might be hiding?

Chuck
