Futurlec?

<< < (6/6)

Richard Crowley:
I have never received anything from Futurlec that appeared to be counterfeit.
IME, their main problem seems to be customer service, not product quality.

How can it be counterfeit when they don't even send it?  :-DD

AmmoJammo:
LMAO!

On the 3rd of November last year, they said they'd refund me $US13 for regulators that they never had in stock but charged me for, and shipped the wrong item.

They never issued a refund and simply stopped replying to emails...

Today, I checked my credit card statement online, and see a refund from Futurlec for the 3rd of June, 2016.... 7 months later?!?! For $AU18.05 (~$US13)

Places like Digikey ,Mouser ,Futurlec ,ect are distributors. And you pay for all the middle men ,stocking fees ,administration fees and even the free shipping.Its all hidden in the price.I never use them unless its a last resort because I can buy direct from the manufacture in most cases.I know it's a sore spot for most people buying from Asia . But many of the reputable manufactures have facilities and warehouse there and suppliers from there can get products very cheap.I won't get into the economic ramifications of this except that just the way it is now.Blame the corporations for exploiting the cheap labor.
I've bought a lot of stuff from Asia a havn't been disappointed.Even stuff from Digikey has China all over it. So what can you do.
