Mouser is another middle man, I keep trying buying from manufacturers directly. While some don't accept small quantities and others refer to their preferred retailers it's worth it. The big distributors are expensive. There is no big deal saving 1/4 not buying from Mouser. As a distributor Mouser's fine, all of my orders arrived as expected. On other hand shit happens from statistical view alone when Mouser processes millions orders. Maybe sometimes an application engineer would be helpful, but support forums work out well (for me).

For instance, if I'm doing a project and need to order a bunch of different items for it, the convenience of doing it all in one place, with a company that will take care of me if/when something goes wrong with the order, can be well worth paying their markup.
