This. It is astonishing how efficient they are. I sometimes feel bad having to order a 3 cent part at Farnell/Element14. Which is then packed and shipped from the UK to the Netherlands without any handling or shipping fee. Usually it is delivered within 1 business day. That said, they are treating a 3 cent part equal to a 100.000 dollar piece of equipment, which probably makes financial sense for them. Its the consistency that I, as a professional customer am willing to pay for. Farnell has become my one-stop-shop when it comes to parts and tools, I may be able to get something cheaper elsewhere, but the convenience and speed make up for that.
