Great deal Mike!!!


rrrrrrready to confirm my order tonight ...


btw no problem with me about the PT2399 they seems to be same as the other I bought , and about pots I find it hard to remove the cover if needed, so no way they can come out once installed.


thx

I bought a bunch of transistors and stuff from their Ebay auctions, and they shipped very quickly and I got the stuff really fast.  I'm planning on getting some IC's and other things from them soon.

Good score Mike!
Like I said, they seem cool, and I'm sure they wouldn't sell dodgy gear on knowingly. If I had complained myself I would have had them replaced, I was just too lazy to send them back for the 10 bucks that 20 chips cost me.
Maybe Princeton experienced a glitch. I would be interested to hear what more recent buyers think of them.
I wonder who needs a thousand or so at a time?

I wonder how those 2 cent mylars measure up to xicon greenies.
might be worth a punt at that price!

When I had ordered from Tayda through Paypal express, I did not see a place to put the promotional code and once the order was over, I was like 'Hey wait a minute...' So I sent them an email and this is what Nalinee said.

QuoteAbout discount coupon, during checkout process in your shopping cart our system will ask you to Sign In again for to put user name details and promotion code but it looks like you did not click on that and clicked on PayPal express checkout so your order went in to system as unregistered customer order.

So make sure you do it the other way. They did give me a 7% return though for the promotional code, which is awesome. Customer service is great here, not just have to wait for the parts!

Just placed my order for about $22 of odds and ends. Pretty good deal on LEDs (50 for $1.21), two varieties photocells with actual data sheets, and the cheapest price I could find on LM3914 ($1.39).

Shipping costs did go up quick with pots, so maybe Futurlec ends up being the better deal for them. Still, good prices on other stuff. :)
