Ok, I figured out the sorting issue. The parts that are sorted out of order because they sort by MOQ price no matter the quantity entered. So in case of 1111 pcs, they take the price of 1000 pcs as it is the closest price break. And what they show you in the list is the price for 1000 pcs. But the final order will also include 111 parts at a higher price. So instead of completely removing the listings for items that don't fit the search criteria, they do this mystery math. |

I can't find the Marketplace mentioned in the terms and conditions. From August marketing: "According to Digi-Key, all Marketplace suppliers are fully vetted, quality partners of Digi-Key." Is the the case? What is the return policy, and why are you bungling saying anything about it? But here you have to suck it up: "Chip Outpost. Chip Outpost Products are excess inventory products. Chip Outpost Products include, without limitation, excess electronic components that are provided directly from the Product supplier or as part of a supplier-authorized channel return from a franchised distributor. Digi-Key believes that Chip Outpost Products are high-quality; however, these products may include certain imperfections, including, but not limited to, aged date codes, or may have been discontinued and/or obsoleted by the manufacturer. Chip Outpost Products quantities are limited and are not available for backorders. MANUFACTURERS' WARRANTIES DO NOT APPLY TO CHIP OUTPOST PRODUCTS. ALL SALES OF CHIP OUTPOST PRODUCTS ARE FINAL. If you purchase a Product designated as a Chip Outpost Product, you understand that the Product is obtained by Digi-Key on a Non-Cancellable/Non-Returnable basis; therefore, your purchase of a Product designated as a Chip Outpost Product is Non-Cancellable/Non-Returnable, except for the Chip Outpost Limited Warranty (see Section 17 below)." |

If I made a mistake ordering stuff on a site that is very clear about what is going on, So far that is a complete fail...attached is a pic showing return of a transistor ...which ones are digikey parts & which are not??? there are a few of each, but you can't tell here, then look at the listing same thing...yeah they go out of the way to make it crystal clear. |

Lol. Package on that transistor is shown as "Bag". Ok, cool. And no parameters are shown, defeating the point of parametric search. If they insist that this is not malicious, they need to make marketplace products disabled by default or at least ability to disable them in the profile. Now in addition to having un-hide the parameters, you also need to un-click the marketplace garbage. Hopefully there is a big enough scandal with that soon so they are forced to rethink if it is worth it. |

Obviously, you have to know all those names by heart, but... :D Yes, I agree, basically. The third party vendors need to be flagged as such right up front (an extra column, with a flag "Third Party Vendor", for example). That would enable viewers to make informed decisions. |
