The last 2 orders I've made from Farnell sister company, CPC, have omitted most of the parts I ordered, although the delivery note stated they were included. This has meant I've had to ring customer services and convince them an error's been made. This has happened several times now, with Farnell as well - albeit not twice in succession.
On top of this, whereas CPC's complimentary delivery used to arrive next day, they now send out the day after you order for some reason.
Rapid prices have increased lately, which is why I've been using CPC. However, I'm beginning to think the saving is negated by the hassle they cause.
Anyone else had similar issues?
Oh yeah - their stock checking is poor as well. They invariably claim something's available when you order, not to send it for a week or two. WTF is going on there?
