Good, prompt delivery of what I ordered. They did "what it said on the can" ... the type of company it is good to do business with!

A tracking number would have been useful so I knew when to expect delivery.

On finding that an item listed as '3 in stock' was actually out of stock, the other items ordered were sent without it and the item placed on 'back order'. Upon receipt, I enquired and found delivery of the item within 7-10 days was not guaranteed, so enquired instead about what other options were available as a substitute, and a list of 'definitely in stock' suggestions was duly provided an hour or two later. I selected one and the substitute - which was entirely suitable for my purposes - was sent first class and arrived the next day. This was excellent work and could only be bettered by the dispatch staff flagging the error and e-mailing to offer the substitute themselves when the error was first noticed. {I do understand that 'logging error' happen with computer systems, and it's not always the store's people's fault, so these things can occur.] Sadly I had to wait until Monday for a customer representative to resolve my enquiry and so I lost a day, while the company lost postage. But my delay was not a problem as I order sufficiently in advance to cope with these problems. Your lost of postage is a balance you must make choices on. The quality of your products, as ever, remains as reliable as ever and that's one reason why I come back time and again. Well done for a no-nonsence response once the issue was raised and thanks for resolving it so quickly. Congratulations, I'm a "happy bunny". ;^D

Ordered parts, came quickly. Good prices. Still a bit fiddly to find parts on the website. I needed to do a search before the parametric tool came up, but maybe that was just me.

You need to provide credit terms based on other competitors terms provided to same client in order to get a part of orders migrated from competitior.

I have bought from Rapid many times and have been very satisfied. Disappointed with my latest purchase as I have seen one at half the cost of the unit I purchased and used otherwise I would have returned the item. Other than that I am pleased with Rapid and will use them again but I will check prices before ordering

Very easy ordering process, website seemed well thought out. However, the search - component/parts finder - could benefit from improvement in my humble.... When the search comes up with a master selection / choice of say, relays, then it is not easy to then narrow down an informed choice of the exact part one needs. Can lead to multiple blind alleys. Perhaps a parametric selection something along the lines of the tools in the Farnell website may help?

Rapid stock and supply a huge range of electronic components. Their organisation is quick and efficient.

Only bought one thing from them so far but good service and quick postage. One thing to be careful of is that for some reason gmail seems to want to classify their dispatch emails as spam.

I'm not happy having to pay VAT on the delivery charges, everything else is excellent.

I ordered some switches, the pictures were very clear. They arrived promptly and looked just like the ones on the website. Very well done. Also they did not cost the earth. I will be using these people again

There was a problem with the products supplied. Rapid handled the issue quickly and efficiently, so I would certainly use them again.
