“I have always had superb service from Rapid Electronics and cannot speak highly enough of them. The few small areas where I feel improvements might be made are as follows :- a) I dislike being asked to choose one of three "relevant sectors" (electronics / education / home) when looking for products on their website as I do not want to miss anything that might be filtered out. b) One of Rapid's main competitors (CPC / Farnell) is offering free postage on all on-line orders over £5 compared with £30 at Rapid. This is a relevant factor when deciding where to shop, although I still buy from Rapid when possible. c) There are two areas where product lines could be enhanced :- - hobbyists are finding it very hard to buy project boxes made out of sheet aluminium. It used to be possible to buy them in various sizes with black vinyl covered lids but I am not aware of any supplier in the U.K. that still stocks them. (Rumours are circulating that China is buying up all the aluminium !). - Rapid no longer seem to sell low value radial disc ceramic capacitors (e.g. 1.8 pF / 2.2 pF etc.). The only ones stocked are surface mount. There are a lot of hobbyists out there who are still using "through the hole" components. Overall though, I am 100% happy with Rapid. The company is to be congratulated on its consistently good service.”

“Can't praise these guys highly enough for both pricing and variety of stock. They always seem to have what I need, and in the case of generic items such as USB cables etc they are 20% of the price of Maplins for example.”

“Pro's : All orders despatched, support staff have been helpful and resolved issues promptly. Con's : seems more items are based at Europe branch and this adds to delivery lead time.”

“I ordered the Multi Saw blades over a weekend. First thing on the Monday morning, I received a text giving a one hour time slot when UK mail would be delivering and, true to their word, the order was received within the time frame. The articles were well packed and clearly marked. An excellent service all round!”

“I am new to Rapidonline and so far I have found its service excellent. The products are competitively priced and the delivery very quick. The postage rate is a little high, although even taking that into account, Rapid is cheaper overall than a well known high street electronics retailer. The online technical data is good for each product and the one time so far I have had a query I have received very good and quick responses from the Rapid team.”
