With RadioShack going under, AliExpress is my goto for basic electronic components, but it can be painful when you need to wait 3 weeks for a new part to arrive.
But I don't like how Amazon because of how they treat their workers. Maybe the engineering positions are awesome, but warehouse workers and deliverers seem to be worse off than a Wal-Mart employee 10 years ago

- grogenaut 9y agowhy not digikey?
- eagletusk 9y ago3 weeks for electronic components, you have extreme patience, I would have mostly given up on the project if that much time elapsed.
- HeyLaughingBoy 9y agoIt's a temporary hit. I get around that problem by purchasing 10x what I need. Prices are so low that it's not an issue. And realistically, I may not have gotten back to the project in 3 weeks even if the parts were already on hand.
