Is everything OK with Palomar
« on: December 01, 2022, 11:31:44 AM »

Its been about a month now since I spoke to him on the phone regarding some Mix31 packages for my solar panels and inverter.  The USPS tracking number they sent me a month ago shows its still not been given to the USPS.  Calling and texting and leaving VM has no response.

He was such a great guy on the phone, I'm guessing they're in the middle of something is wrong over there?

Back on 11/23, I received a Thanksgiving sales flyer via e-mail.  Was from Bob in sales.

Whenever I look at their site I see lots of neat things to buy. Then I search for Palomar Engineers reviews (link below) and decide not to.

I’ve ordered a couple of baluns and a RF choke from them over the past couple of months. Not the fastest shipper but the products are first-rate and at a fair price. I think ordering their products via HRO is quickest if the product is in stock at HRO.

Sorry to hear, hope your order arrives soon.

Skip them next time and look elsewhere. With so many similar products available from known good suppliers with better service reputations its just too risky.....

Can you not obtain a refund from your credit card company and order from a more reputable supplier?

Here in the UK I have ordered “31 mix” ferrites from Mouser in the USA and had them arrive in a couple of days, tax pre-paid, incredible service.

The FT240-31 is Fair-Rite 2631803802, a large 31 mix clamp on core is Fair-Rite 0431177081. Several thousand of both in stock for immediate dispatch!

Check those part numbers in case I have mistyped them.

Price survey on ferrite toroids and clamp-ons for ham RFI applications
Gary NA6O.  Updated Oct 2022.

Showing only suppliers with websites that list inventory and allow online ordering. When ordering 2.4-inch toroids, order in multiples of 10, then most suppliers will pack them in original factory-molded foam sheets.

------------
Call these companies for quotes. Prices in larger quantities often beat anything listed here.
