I've been ordering electronic parts for several chem labs (electrochemistry
and spectroscopy research sometimes tends more toward gadgets than chemicals:-))
for many years now.  Many of our orders go to Digi-Key: they've been
for the most part, professional, always got the orders that I've
mumbled in right (telephone orders, each usually much more than a dozen items,
poor operator :-)) and
we've received it in good time (and if we specify rush and pay the
extra $ for Fed express, it comes in a day or two) and the prices are
definitely right.  Of the hundreds of items (thousands if you include
resistors :-)) that we've got from them, we've never received a bad part.
