Last Friday I ordered by phone on Visa (36) 256K DRAMS at 120 nsec from Microprocessors Unlimited for $4.25 each. Monday they arrived by Federal Express with the following on the package: Dear Customer, We are shipping this to you via Federal Express, at no extra cost to you, because Federal Express IS a better service and we do sincerely appreciate you business. We hope that you will appreciate our fine parts and service. I had ordered them to be sent UPS Blue. The invoice is very clear and the charge of shipping, packaging, and handling was $4. The ICs came in standard static tubes, wrapped in tin foil, all in packing 'curls' in a very nice reusable box, with several pages of static warning, handling, who's who in ICs, and related info and company policies. There was no charges for using a credit card. The service from my phone call to delivery 3 days later was nothing short of fantastic. If only more mail order places were like Microprocessors Unlimited, the Better Business Bureau would go out of business. I give Microprocessors Unlimited my highest praise for mail order service. Their only flaw in perfection is that they do not have a toll free order phone number. I have not had a chance to install or test the Toshiba ICs yet, as the other parts that I ordered on the same day will probably not arrive for another week or two.

We have also used Microprocessors Unlimited lots of times, and find the
service to be uniformly wonderful and the prices always very cheap.
Somebody bemoaned their lack of an 800 number, but at the prices they
charge, you can afford to pay for your call.

I concur. Having done business with Micro Processors Unlimited in the past, I have also found them to be fast, accurate, more than helpful, and very economical. They have set a standard that others would do well to follow. I am planning to buy some 256K chips soon. When I do, it will be from MicroProcessors Unlimited. Jim Potter jp@lanl.arpa
