Post by thread:[PIC] Need Minneapolis/St. Paul Store

I have been a Digi-Key customer from their inception. I have a really LOW customer number. They are GREAT! Year after Year! My other favoite is Mouser! Just a really happy customer of BOTH! No problems with minimums or anything else, just Great Service! Mike Crestline, Ca.

I'll give another recomendation for Digikey, for people in Canada like me. Their shipping via Purolator Canada is consistantly fast, so long as I put my order in before 8pm it *always* arrives the next day, and for only $6! I've never had a problem with them except for the odd time when I've mistyped credit card numbers, and then they call me and get it cleared up within hours. That said, I haven't used any other distributors much, so maybe they are somehow even better. :) -- spam_OUTpeteTakeThisOuTpetertodd.ca http://www.petertodd.ca

Their evolution as a company has been interesting to watch. I was pretty surprised the first time their ad showed up in professional trade journals; I hadn't been paying attention! BillW

DigiKey and Mouser keep me in business. I am in Harrisburg, PA - - - there used to be a few electronics stores around here, there is only one of them left. They carry some small components, but not what you would need for even a small project. I used to check them on a regular basis, but haven't been in the store in over a year now. On-line B-to-B ordering is the way it is done these days, in most places by most people I am in touch with. RJG {Original Message removed}
