I've only had cause to order from them once, but was quite happy with
Digikey. As the quality of local stores seem to be going down, I'll
likely
end up ordering from them again.
The one downside is the Phonebook sized catalogues they've started sending
me on apparently a quarterly basis. I solved the problem quite quickly by
simply sticking them in the Classic Computing section of the Historical
Library. :^)
I work in a small industrial electronics repair shop where we spend around
$1000 a month on electronic parts and components. We order primarily from
DigiKey and Mouser and are very happy with both of them. Prices may vary
between suppliers so, check their prices before ordering.
Note: The catalogs are great asset. It's kinda like browsing the toy section
of the Sears Roebuck catalog as a kid 8^)
I also buy quite a few bulk components (transistors, caps, etc...) off Ebay.
Never had a bad experience with any of the vendors.
See ya, SteveRob
