Or they don't want to make an expensive international call and be on hold for ages.

I had not ordered from these big companies since in the past I lived in places with very good local parts availability.

In the past month I had two orders through Mouser, both got here about as fast as a local order, despite going through customs on both ends and travelling across the sea. I have to say Mouser and FedEx did an amazing job.

But on the most recent one I saw there was a delay in France, turned out the "security" people found my box of solder and MSP430s a reason to be alarmed :D

Despite them opening the box and finding nothing scary or offensive, the FedEx guy showed up before lunchtime as scheduled :)

The bloke at northridgefix (youtube channel for pc repair) put an order in with either mouser or digikey and they refused the order because he had a muslim name.

Are we spouting half truths or omitting context to try and paint a narrative on the Internet?
Is it "a Muslim name" or  is it actually 'shares a name with or is very similar to another individual who is on some sort of naughty list, which due to the US spending 20 years in the middle east is rather large. Heaven help anyone with the middle eastern equivalent of Bob Smith as a name'

Just repeating what he said in one of his video's.
I watched it again and it was digikey who refused the order based on his name Hussein Ali.
