“Since retiring I've taken up dabbling in art. I used to use Rapid many years ago when I had my own business. The products they sold then and still sell now were great for me. I hadn't expected to see them selling artist products though. The way I found out was by doing a search for a product called "Brusho", Rapid showed up on the search engine as a supplier. Their price is way below any one else including "Amazon". They have a whole range of artist products that are way below anything else on line. My only little niggle is that an extra product I ordered isn't in stock, that is all I know, I would have liked information as to when the product is likely to be shipped. I don't know whether to go elsewhere or wait. Keep your customers fully informed and you'll keep your customers. Am I happy? You bet I am.”

“Wanted some audio cable connectors and after reviewing several sites came across Rapid Electronics. Their range was extensive and prices very competitive. Ordered what I wanted and they arrived within 48 hours and they did the job very well. Have knocked one star off, as some items are sourced from abroad and take longer to be delivered.”

“Recent price increases mean Rapid are now often more expensive than Farnell and RS. This would be ok if their delivery service was as good as the others but, unfortunately, orders usually arrive within 2-3 days rather than next day.”

“Good value, only adverse problem was the hole for soldering the wire in the plug was small & would have liked a larger hole to accomodate the stranded wire to enable soldering. Other than that the Hirschmann 4mm plugs were first class & perfect Delivery was second to none IE very quick delivery, would certainly recommend”

“I run an electronics class for high school in Australia so I need a good price and quick delivery. Rapid have been great in both areas and I moved from another supplier as the prices were better so I can help more students with Velleman kits. Delivery way down here was only a few days. Very satisfied Bruce Burns”
