Anybody had experience with Futurlec.com?

I was thinking of getting some parts from their site. Anybody here has any experience with them?

Order from them often-No problem

 

[FoxyRick]

Used them a few times - always seem a little slow to deliver (to the UK), but otherwise great.

Yes, they seem to be a bit slower on the delivery, even in the US

Check out resellerratings.com, I usually only order if they have a rating higher than 8 or 9. If they have no rating at all I will avoid them. I've had way to many problems with online ordering to take any risks.

I thought they just forgot about me

I ordered a specialized chip from them in Jan 2

Email came back stating the package is out on Jan 3 - expect 7 to 10 days delivery

There is status checking on their web site but they didn't ship it with at tracking number so we don't know where the package is

Live in Canada.

Might have to wait another 1/2 month

Used them because could not find specialized chip locally or on the net. One of the cheaper prices on the net

 

[Fei]

yea prices are very cheap, so is shipping ($3 dollars for orders up to $30) and the goods come and come in good condition too...I don't see what's the harm. If you don't need something in a hurry futurlec.com is fine.

I ordered some stuff from them. It took 2 weeks to get it from them. They're located in Australia.
