Their prices seem too damn good to be true. Has anyone successfully ordered from them? I was mapping out prices for parts for my Green Pre and found almost everything except for Wima caps and a few other parts.
 
I've heard they are pretty reliable but haven't ordered myself. From what I understand they ship from Thailand so their regional offices just accept the money and relay the orders.

Most of the stuff you buy these days is made either right in Thailand or nearby so it isn't surprising they can offer good prices. All the SMD and regular leaded resistors I got from my last Mouser order were of Thai origin. You should see all the huge factories there - all the big names in electronics.
 
I ordered some stuff for my G7 from them, mostly high voltage electrolytics, and was totally happy.
 
On other boards I've read a lot of bad stuff about them, but damn their prices are sweet.

The comment that most pople seemed to make was that it took foooooorever to get their stuff, upwards of 8-9 weeks, yeeesh.

It's a tough call though, becasue you can beat them prices.

That wasn't my experience. I've only ordered from them once and I was pleased. Why don't you try a small order and see how it works out.
 
It was 6 weeks for me. They are slow but the prices are good.
Just don't order any thing that you need fast. I used their pcb
board service once as well..nice boards but 5 weeks from the time I
emailed my Gerbers till I had boards in hand but it was half what
pcbexpress charges.
