Online ordering
Everything was spot on. I online chatted with a customer service and even though he did not have an immediate answer for me, he came back the next day with part code etc. And buying was as easy as a few clicks away!
Overall good with few hic ups
Main problems (not many) with delayed deliveries. Usually next day but have been out to 5 days for next day deliveries.
No complaints
I don't have any complaints, otherwise I'd contact them
Cheap prices and very fast shipping
Always prompt with quotes and shipment and very helpful sorting out alternatives or other issues.
Good service, great speed
Items turned up quickly and in good condition, only downside is that it's sometimes hard to find products on the website unless you know exactly what you're looking for.
Great selection
Great selection of parts and good service. Can be a little uncommunicative on the status of backordered parts.
Recomended - no issues ordering
Good stock. Often good prices. No ordering issues and speedy delivery. Cant complain.
Never a problem
Element 14 always ships fast and is very responsive to any issues.
Element 14 review
Fast professional service, good communication, great range of components.
Quality electronic components Fast
I have been able to obtain difficult to get parts. Friendly service and very fast freight.
Great service - searching needs improvement
For a 5-star review, you would need to improve the component searching.
Just go back to the way it was 18 months ago with the searching at the top of the web page. (It's not the position on the page that is the problem, its the underlying method.)
You lost most of your competitive advantage when changing the search method. It used to be way better then RS -- or anything else. Now, it's about the same as those other websites.

Service
The products supplied, were, what was advertised, on time and at a reasonable price. As a bonus they worked too :-)
On line purchase
Easy online search and selection.
Filters helped narrow down the correct choice.
My experience has been great
I have enjoyed your wide stock range which covers most of the hard to source parts needed for equipment repairs. This is a significant part of my work and customer satisfaction. Deliveries are generally 2 days from Sydney if components are from stock and in 8 years I have only had one return which was promptly corrected.
I don't know what I'm reviewing - what's my opinion about?
What is this? I buy stuff from element 14 from time to time. I'm happy to write something and receive a torch but what's it all about?
