excellent service

We used element14 as they stocked some hard to find parts, we had a breakdown and needed these parts next day. We placed our order in the afternoon and was surprised to them being delivered early next morning.

Good service and product range, will use in future.

Very good service.

there is a large range of stock which means I almost always find the item I am looking for, in most cases it is delivered the next day and it is very easy to get a copy of an invoice if necessary.

good product.

The procean of ordering was fine. But h
The delivery took a bit longer that I thought as it had to be sent from elsewhere even though it said there was plenty in Stock. Was a bit confusing to work out when it would arrive.

Other then that all was good and will order again.

A great company to deal with.

This supplier has a great on-line cataloge. Ordering is easy and I cannot recall any serious problem with supply. On the single instance I can recall where an incorrect item was dispatched a single phone call had the issue rectified.

Online ordering easy and quick delivery of goods.

Being able to order and pay at any time of day or night is a plus for me, and the quick delivery can't be faulted.

Element 14 claim 'same day shipping' but if don't count on if your really need it

While the same day shipping claim sounds nice, in my experience whenever I've REALLY needed to ship the same day, it doesn't. Often an order will sit 'pending' until you phone them and ask whats happening..the answer is always the same 'We had a problem but will get that out now, we are sorry'. If I hadn't phoned, would it have sat there 'pending' for days or weeks?
Don't rely on their stock counts either, often an item showing as 'in stock for next day delivery' is not in stock at all. Buyer beware.
