pamiller is infamous around these parts
DX is reputable and a great place to buy stuff cheap.

I have ordered about ten times from DealExtreme. 95% of the orders delivered good stuff as advertised. One order for 10 high power LEDs had 2 defective and DE promptly replaced them no charge, no hassle. So they are an honest seller. Their very low pricing would lead intelligent buyers not to expect the fastest service and best quality. A couple of items out of maybe 30 total were not adequate quality. A cheap auto compass reads backwards from the driver's viewpoint, almost humorous; also no magnetic compensator, which is mandatory in an auto. The blade of a scraper keeps falling out. But the set of 3 tweezers were of amazing quality, like Swiss made at 1/10 the price. But if one applies some common sense they will realize not to order stuff that requires exacting quality. My biggest complaint is lack of specifications on what you are considering buying (when it matters) and sometimes not having the correct specifications. I love them for ordering experimental parts because I can fill in the blanks and figure out what is missing.

Thank you ResellerRatings for a great, dependable service!
