Goodnews - Allied lives!!! Well, I'm not sure, have you done business with them yet??? I re-discovered them about two years ago. They have an impressive catalog and you call in orders regionally. That was my first obstacle, they had to assign an account rep to me; great for my $20 worth of business??? Then, they would tell me that an item was in stock, I'd order it, but wouldn't get it, they explained that they're local terminal was not always current with the Chicago warehouse. So, the item is back-ordered and when I get it they have charged again for shippping and minimum order charge, about $9 for a $2 item that they had left out of my original order. I now go to them as last choice. I've had nothing but good vibes with DigiKey. Your mileage may vary.
