Where do you order your parts?

[Zachary Ray]

I'm trying to get parts for my Adruino project and I want to know where you all get your parts personally? Right now i am looking at Adafruit, than trying to match the item on ebay or amazon. What are some trusted sources for you on Ebay or Amazon?

Adafruit or Sparkfun if I have lots of the money for the part.  Or I order on ebay or amazon for stuff way cheaper.  Feel free to post what you are thinking of buying and we can help you decide whether it is a good price or not.

I get most stuff off of EBay.  I used to do Aliexpress, but found a pretty high rate of failure to deliver.  Their dispute process is pretty quick, but with some items having 30-60 day delivery times, it's easy to forget to open one, and there's a pretty ambiguous window where can can actually open one.  So, I've lost a few bucks by missing the window, but Aliexpress is usually cheaper.  I've found Amazon isn't even close to being competitive on price, especially for anything under about $10 even if you have Prime.  I try to actually support Sparkfun and Adafruit when I can, a lot of their parts are prices competitively, but their shipping costs usually blows the deal, but if you need it fast, they're usually pretty good.

I'm pretty new to working with components, but I've been happy with the orders I've had from MPJA.

I have bought stuff from electronics goldmine before.  I think most of it is surplus so you might not be able to buy it the second time.  http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/
