“I've been using Rapid for quite few years now and have always been very happy with the service I've received. I'd probably buy everything I need from them if they did a bigger range of discrete components.”

“Although now a 77-year old pensioner, I have dealt with you since the days your 'catalogue' consisted of a couple of sheets of A4 !! I was a physics/electronics teacher before retirement 20 years ago this month. I have also been a life-long radio amateur, and despite eyesight not being quite as good as it was, I continue building various items associated with the hobby, as well as restoring some vintage equipment... I recently had fairly urdgent need for some higher wattage resistors. You always deliver rapidly ( excuse the pun) but I felt that the postage for a few small resistors was sopmewhat excessive - they copuld easily have been put in an ordinary envelope and sent 2nd class for 52p ! Anyway, just my opinion on this occasion...I appreciate you cannot price postage individually....It would be nice though if you adopted Farnell/CPC's policy of FREE postage when ordered 'on-line'.. I also appreciate that for you, this was a tiny, insignificant order! Thanks and kind regards from the Scottish Borders André SAUNDERS”

“I've been using Rapid for many years and always found their choice, price and speed of delivery to be second to non. Rapid is my "go-to" choice for anything to do with electronics stuff.”

“Fairly comprehensive range of products which are also available in small numbers, this is important for diy'ers who can't afford to buy reels or boxes of x00 items. Customer service was good when one item wasn't as described in catalogue. Good supplier to deal with,”

“Excellent product, the software was easily loaded, it was keenly priced, well packaged and the express delivery I requested was exactly that. I would be more than happy to use Rapid Electronics in the future.”

“Not neccesarily the cheapest on the net but you are always assured of quality products with excellent pre and post sales support. This is the place I prefer to buy from but the "silver pounds" left over from pension don't always go that far, that said 30 odd weeks of saving got me a great digital scope for use from DC to hf with all manner of functions only dreamt of the the 60's when I was an apprentice.”

“I was looking for a few components for some private research. The sites of RS and Farnell were just useless, demanding long registration and a demand to buy at least 25 each of the components I wanted. Thank God I found Rapid's site, very easy to use and no minimum order - a winner”
