THE BEST amazing delivery service ever seen (at no cost). ! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I just ordered several capacitors to rebuild an amplifier power supply with a value of just over US $50. I ordered the parts on Sunday evening, and had the package on my doorstep on Wednesday morning via DHL. There was no cost to have delivered. Text messages kept me updated over the 3 days it too to pack and deliver. I live in bottom of the world in New Zealand in the Pacific Ocean. This would be the most amazing delivery service I have ever seen !!! I will be a repeat customer without question!

Great source for Hammond and Peter W. Dahl Transformers Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I special ordered a Peter W. Dahl (made by Hammond) Driver transformer through Digikey for my Johnson Viking Ranger. The whole process took 4-5 weeks to complete. The service was great and Digikey gave me a break on the usual shipping cost too.

Very good parts supplier Time Owned: more than 12 months.
For new parts with a large inventory. I frequently use Digikey when I need project parts, and they handle small orders quickly and accurately.

I'm just now using parts from Digikey on a project.

Good alternative to Mouser, Fast shipping! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I just ordered a bunch of capacitors to rebuild an Astron RS-20A power supply. I ordered the parts on Wednesday evening, and had the package on my doorstep on Saturday morning via USPS Priority Mail. I live in central Kentucky. I will be a repeat customer without question!

Right part, right price Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I ordered some ICs yesterday. I live on an island in Canada where "overnight" means 3 days. They charged 8 bucks shipping, and the package arrived less than 24 hours after the order was placed. Impressive!

Ok place Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Bought from them recently. The shipping seemed to take a week from their warehouse to Seattle. Mouser seems to be faster. Since I almost always use USPS priority mail I don't understand the time difference in shipping from Texas and Minnesota. Also Digikey is now charging Washington State sales tax where Mouser does not. According to Washington State law residents are supposed to pay a use tax (sales) to the shipping destination. At 9.5% that does get a bit pricy. I like them both but tend to use Mouser more often as they seem faster to ship products to me.

Poor communications Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Yes... Digi Key has a nice large catalog and is reasonably priced, for this I give them 2 stars. But... don't expect any service from this company. If you are a European customer stick with Farnell, RS components, Distrelec or Mouser, at least they will appreciate your business.

Wow Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Ordered some parts and they were in my mailbox in 3 days. I didn't find the shipping and handling to be excessive. The parts were over $10.00 and the total bill was $13. So it was $2 something for postage, shipping, and handling.
Excellent availability of component parts. I could have got some of the parts cheaper at RS but I would have had to drive there, have a salesperson look at me with a blank stare when I asked them where the resistors were, I couldn't get all the parts I needed there anyway, then drive home, and order the balance on line. It would have cost me more in gas than the few pennies I would have saved.
Convenience, service, and availability does matter!

Perfect always Time Owned: N.A.
They always have been absolutely perfect for me, even though I am a dumb little radio geek, not a big industrial customer. Some have critiqued the shipping costs. Well it is not like ebay where some Jack**s might hide extra fees and stuff till after you bid. They will tell you all up front before you buy, and if your order seems too tiny for the costs of shipping just go elsewhere if you can. Like, these folks have alot of stuff you can't get elsewhere in the boonies, so just count your blessings that you can get first class service and find cool exotic parts at all.

Great Vendor Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Order received in three days. Customer service followed up to verify my satisfaction. Shipping cost was minimal and packaging was great. Other vendors could learn alot from this company as this is the same standard every time I order an IC.
