Digi-Key has changed and it is not very good

Oh no, the problem must be spreading. :-\
Yesterday I was using the US site to search for parts, then ordered using the AUS site. Looks like the US site is broken now too.
I don't like the new UI of the US site either...

I would guess this sort of thing will become the norm. If they're using an "agile" team to develop the website then they will be continuously tinkering and changing things, and if they break something "no problem, we'll fix it later".

DK sent me a survey yesterday about their website. I told them everything I thought about their "redesign" in no uncertain terms :-BROKE I suggest you guys do the same if you receive that invitation too. Let's see if that will make any difference.

Yup, same here, I hope I gave them a good-enough tongue lashing.
Also, we ordered some stuff at work via purchase order, I didn't notice it was a marketplace item. They won't allow you to buy marketplace items on open account/PO. That's another big red flag on this marketplace thing. That's just a big annoyance, you now have to check that EACH item in not marketplace.

I would like to see the marketplace stuff NOT INCLUDED by default.
Or some way to turn it off.
This whole marketplace thing does not give me a warm, fuzzy feeling.
There is certainly a level of trust with Digi-Key that you won't get dodgy counterfeit parts.
But opening things up to third parties... I just don't feel comfortable with it. It's the narrow end of the wedge.
The way I see it... I go to Digi-Key to buy from Digi-Key.
Just not a fan of this "Amazonification" of things.
