I ordered some assorted spacers to finish a couple of Millett Hybrid amps that I'm building and Digikey made a mistake filling the order.



I guess the androids filling the orders can't tell the difference between RJ-45 PCB mount jacks and 1/4" spacers.

They sent me 20 jellybean op-amps once, for no particular reason.

I stopped shopping at digikey when they started adding tax. Out of all the internet merchants that I use they are the only ones to do so without a physical presence in my state. Mouser has been extremely wonderful. 2 out of my last 3 orders had shipping upgraded for free.

Unfortunately, Mouser doesn't have a presence in Canada, so it costs more and takes longer for shipping. I'm pretty happy with Digikey since they ship overnight in Canada for $8.

A cell phone vendor once sent me a battery, charger, and some other accessories, no invoice, no charges on my credit card. I even tried contacting them to find out why but never heard back from them.

Funny Digikey Mistake

I'm going to tell this one to all the guys at the gym.

Since I don't belong to a gym it's gonna be pretty interesting.
