Hi,
Has anybody had any experience with Winsource ( www.win-source.net ) and also with Worldway ( www.worldwayelec.com ) as a suppliers? Are they reliable?

Thank you :)

In our case they hiked the price 50% and the MOQ by a factor of 6.

We gave them the feedback they requested - though probably not the feedback they wanted.

So, bait and switch. Got it.

Winsource: stay away. After ordering parts and paying for them in full, I was notified a week later that the parts had gone up in price 4x, and I would need to pay the higher price. I declined. On another order, one month after payment I emailed to ask when the parts would ship and was told that in fact they didn't have the stock so they would have to refund me. Finding this suspicious, I requested a quote for the same part from a different email address and was given a price 3x what I paid and was told they have plenty in stock and ready to ship in 2-3 days.

Finally, a colleague of mine discovered that they had used a fake humidity card in an old shipment to us. Months after the bag had been opened, all of the dots were still blue while the card says that the dots would turn pink when the various humidity levels were exceeded. This is even more egregious than the ordering shenanigans.

Very dishonest business, steer clear.
