“YOU NEED TO SIMPLIFY THE "ONLINE CATALOG " AT THE MOMENT,WHILE BROWSING FOR COMPONENTS, SOME ITEM CATEGORIES ESPECIALLY IN COMPONENTS HAVE TOO MANY UNNECESSARY SUB LINKS . FOR EXAMPLE SAY I AM LOOKING FOR A SLIDE SWITCH. I SELECT ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS-OK. THEN SWITCHES, OK , THEN YOU GET THE SUB CATEGORIES AS ONE WOULD EXPECT. SO THEN CLICK ON 'SLIDE SWITCHES, AGAIN AS ONE WOULD EXPECT. YOU WOULD THEN GET A FURTHER SELECTION IE,STANDARD, SUB MINIATUE, MICRO, PCB MOUNT OR SIDE ACTION ECT. AGAIN THAT IS FINE BUT, THERE ARE SOME OF THESE SUB-SUB CATEGORIES OF WHICH THERE MAY ONLY BE ONE ITEM OFFERED , BUT CLICKING ON THAT LINK THEN OPENS A FURTHER PAGE THEN ANOTHER WHICH THEN ONLY SHOWS ONE PRODUCT AVAILABLE. I AM SURE THIS COULD BE IMPROVED TO REDUCED THE AMOUNT OF PAGES WHO HAVE TO OPEN TO GET TO A SINGLE PRODUCT UNDER THAT CATEGORY. HOPE THIS HELPS !.”

“Generally swift and accurate delivery of orders. Would have rated 5 stars if Rapid offered free delivery for orders above £20 (in line with competitors) as I often make relatively small orders of components for prototyping.”

“Always plenty for the hobbyist and the professional but if you do not know how to describe what you are looking for specifically then navigation can be a nightmare! Nevertheless, delivery is reasonable, rapid even with snail mail and assistance is there if needed! I personally will be returning for more items simply for the above reasons!”

“Rapid are an excellent company who typically appear to meet promised deliveries as expected and provide goods as advertised. I have no experience of their customer care as no problems to date and consequently cannot rate then as Very Good.”

“The website would benefit from more information to differentiate between model options, but the purchasing process and delivery were faultless. I would use it again with confidence.”

“As a new customer I am certainly impressed by the range and prices available at Rapid Electronics. If I had one criticism it would be that it is difficult to navigate and browse through the different categories of stock. Overall, the whole process of ordering, registering and paying was good. And the delivery? They certainly were 'Rapid' on that score!”
