A few times a year I ban a vendor. Last month I tried a new company for some electrical components.
I normally order from Mouser Electronics or Digikey which are both great companies.
This time I tried www.onlinecomponents.com Big mistake that wasted hours of my time,
and delayed my project by a week.
onlinecomponents.com is the worst company I have dealt with online in years.
I placed an order with them on 10/29 and instantly received a confirmation email.

onlinecomponents.com bad vendor
A few times a year I ban a vendor. Last month I tried a new company for some electrical components. I normally order from Mouser Electronics or Digikey which are both great companies. This time I tried www.onlinecomponents.com Big mistake that wasted hours of my time, and delayed my project by a week.
onlinecomponents.com is the worst company I have dealt with online in years. I placed an order with them on 10/29 and instantly received a confirmation email.
I Checked on the order today - nothing shipped.
I contacted them via chat where they claimed my credit card was declined and they sent an email. I received no email (other than my order confirmation) and had nothing in my spam folder. I also verified my credit card is fine and verified with the bank no charge attempt was put through.
I was told to call Victoria to fix it. I called Victoria, she said it may be a problem on their end, and asked if she could call me back later. I said no, I'll just give you a new card... but the order must go out toda
