Anyone Here Buy From Newark?

[Blackburn]

I placed a good sized order last week with them and they sent me a couple of coupon codes this morning with the phrase, "Share with whomever you like", and I figured sharing with TAG brethren would be good. There are two of them. The first expires August 3rd, and the second August 31st. These are good for 15% off. Very simple codes are as follows... THANKS24 and THANKS34. If they work for you, I'm happy.

Newark, very rarely. Time was they were a source for rare 6-pin connectors I needed for Leslie/Hammond adapters. Back then, a major PIA to order, and very unfriendly to the small customer.

I'm happy to report my last experience with Newark @ 2 years ago was entirely different. Didn't need much, they accepted my state sales tax number & billed accordingly. To top it off, a call came from a friendly Newark salesman and he had a similar deal to offer. @ 15% off next order as long as it was within @ 45 days. I never got to use that offer but DID note the much friendlier atmosphere.

What would be a treat, a paper catalog. Takes forever to navigate Newark's website, same story at Mouser & DigiKey and others. My most recent Newark paper catalog is nearly 20 years old.

Will they honor the prices?

I'm very happy with Newark. They take measures to ensure you're happy with your order. Fast shipping too. For instance, I ordered four 100ft. spools of 20AWG solid core copper wire and it turned out all of them are stranded. Guess this substantiates what Leo said about navigating the site. I do find their site more difficult than Mouser's. Anyway, I called them up and they sent me the RMA form along with a shipping label. Just needs to be dropped off. Very happy with them so far.

Placed my first order with Newark. Mouser did not have the right e-caps. I needed 10,000uF, 50v, radial, 40mm high or less for my Mackie HR824s.

I love Newark's search filter, with min/max settings!

Thanks for the tip, Blackburn.

I order from Newark on a daily basis for work. They are about an hour away from where I live and work, so ground shipping is as good as ordering over night.

Customer service has been great, and the website is fairly easy to navigate. About the only reason I ever use their catalog is for connectors and other mechanical items that are hard to judge online.

The only issue with Newark is that their stock list is a lot smaller than Digikey or Mouser.
