Time is relative.............

Any regular reader of this blog will know that I regularly order components from China. People have told me that they wouldn't do that mainly because of the distance and the language barrier. The delay in receiving the goods is also a factor for many. I have always taken a more pragmatic view of the situation. The particular goods I buy are, in the main, only available from these suppliers and are certainly much cheaper. Over the past year or so, the delay in receiving my parcels has increased due to customs activity in Hong Kong as it seems all the post is routed through that bottle neck now.Whilst I have never been let down by a Chinese supplier, the quality of service is variable. Recently, however, I have begun buying from Chip Partner and they have cracked the whole market wide open. They have most of the items that the other suppliers have and usually match prices very well. The best part, however, is their communications. They really go the extra mile when it comes to letting the customer know what is happening with their order. If you want to dip your toe in the water of buying from China, I suggest making them your first point of call.
