Ordering not an issue. Delivery was. Company would not post without a signature. I can understand if its a valuable item but 6 leds. Really? had to collect from the depot 8 miles away as they could not guarantee a delivery time to suit.

This is a very prompt service with competitive prices which is why I am now using it regularly. My only criticism is that the design of the website makes it difficult to find things and probably discourages new customers.

Purchased a quartz clock replacement unit. Part was delivered on time and I was able to fit it without any problem. Put the battery in, set the time and off it went. Everything is good. It's keeping accurate time and I am completely satisfied.

Dealing with RAPID caused no bother at all. "Paper work"though all done on the internet was entirely satisfactory.

First time ive used Rapid electronics and it was a good experience, ordered last week and item arrived 2 days later even though I'm sure it said it was on back order, so overall a good service and will use again. Ben C

Good morning Rapid, I have been a customer for a number of years now and I would say the service has been pretty good. When there has been an odd order error it has been resolved quickly and effectively. The only two slightly negative comments I would make are the delay on some items which are not stocked in the UK can be a little frustrating and some items had what I thought was a ridiculously high MOQ number on them. One example was ultrasound transducers which had an MOQ value in the hundreds. This put me off ordering them!! That has changed now I think to "normal" values. I am an amateur radio enthusiast who constructs quite a lot of equipment so I find you competitive and quick. Some of the more specialist RF components, I source elsewhere. Regards, Graham Sangster

Generally very good to deal with. Search function on website needs improving, otherwise no issues.

Well, 'Rapid Electronics' stopped being 'rapid' since their takeover by Conrad Electronics of Germany. The number of "backordered" items has grown significantly and there have been numerous packing mistakes with large orders where I work. However, all problems are always sorted out by their amazing and superb staff on the telephone lines, second to none, brilliant! I just wish that less stock was held "in our European warehouse!! I'll remain a loyal customer as will my department at work. Cheers folks! Andy.

I live in TX USA. After a small hitch on the website, the order was confirmed via email and then shipped scary fast. I'm happy.

Hi I make mods and offer repair/servicing for pinball machines and other arcade equipment. Although i do buy other parts from other suppliers Rapid consistently offers good prices and rapid delivery.

Many items "on back order" so perhaps 'rapid' is something of a misnomer. In all other respects the service is very good.

Excellent little compact multimeter; the only quibble is with the instruction leaflet, which is too brief and baldly-phrased.

Usually stuff is in stock and very good delivery. Very few mistakes - a good supplier.

Wide list of good products at excellent prices. Service is good but geared up for the mail order customer. Living in Colchester means I can easily collect and avoid postage costs. The on-line collect service cannot be used for European Warehouse (not 'in stock') products - good job the telephone service is courteous! Life gets more complicated if you want some European warehouse products and some local products! Sort this one Rapid and your service will be excellent too.
