Mouser sent me €138.60 worth of inductors I didn't order

<< < (6/7) > >>

Berni:
We also at one point got a mysterious shipment of IEC power cords from Mouser.

It turned out it was a mistake, but we ended up keeping them (I guess it was not worth the trouble of shipping back internationally) Quite a nice thing tho, since they happened to be the correct EU Shuko plug. These things always come in useful for plugging in test equipment (I like to leave these cables at every desk so that they are ready to plug in).

Zipdox:
I mean, that spool of inductors is literally worth more than my entire order. It's quite embarrassing. This is my first ever order at Mouser too. I was kinda shocked when I figured out what happened.

They meant to send you two, they forgot to individual wrap them in polythene condoms, and by the time you got them there were 40.  :)

Digikey once sent me mil spec circular connectors instead of standard ones - I called their local office, which at the time was right above my workplace, and they said keep it, it was too expensive to ship it back.

Exactly.  That's the way real business operates.  You never try to screw the other "guy" for a simple mistake.  Thus, my comment about requiring a courier appointment.  Just take it to the P.O., if Mouser wants that.

EDIT: Sorry, both orders were NOT Digikey.  The Delrin was McMaster-Carr.  Both are great companies to deal with, maybe a little more expensive than the least expensive, but great customer service.  McMaster in the past few years seems to be falling behind. When it ships from multiple locations, you are stuck with X times that number in shipping costs.  I have never been charged for double or triple shipping from DigiKey.

Yeah, I avoid ordering from Mcmaster at all costs now.
Other companies can figure out how to charge a flat rate, or a reasonable rate. Mcmaster you add a $1 delrin rod to your order, now you've rolled the dice on paying an extra $20 shipping charge because they can't consolidate warehouses.
