Additional Online/Offline stores?

Sep 18, 2008 12 Replies

As it is now, I shop with Farnell, Futurlec, Jaycar, and DSE with the odd order to DigiKey.



Are there any others that I can add to my list? Even ones where I can walk into. I am based in Brisbane.


Liquorice allsorts, not necessarily online shop....

How is Digikey for postage costs? Have a look at Sparkfun Electronics

they got some stuff that others don't have. Tom

Rockby Electronics in Melbourne (the old Rod Irving premises) with generally good prices, weekly specials and decent mail order service.

My last personal Digikey order was US$34.10 postage + $6 handling for international orders using the USPS option, package was 1LB 9OZ. Now with the Aussie bleeder having plummeted recently, not as good a value as it used to be. With the USPS option, you don't know the price until they have packed and shipped it, so you take your chances a bit.

For work order I use courier of course but it's more expensive.

Not electronic, but when you need specific mechanical bits, Small Parts can't be beat:

I have 400+ specialized products sourced from all over the world, aimed mainly at micro hardware and software. In many cases, you will only find these items at Dontronics.

I am moving away from general components, and have many of these types of these items on special to clear stock.

I have not ordered yet through them. I usually keep the oversea's stores to a last resort if I cannot find what I want locally.

One thing I noticed about SparkFun, their tutorials are very good.

Thanks for those links. I really do appreciate them.
