Proline, Axial and uh… that's about it really, probably do but no one else.

I've seen more vendors here say forget this than succeed.
Theres a line for most of those garage businesses I think though, its between being a living/job and still a hobby.

Your issue is with the shipping company not the supplier. Your statement suggests they had your item and shipped it but shipping is taking too long.

Anytime there is crazy freight from rpp email or call them and they'll see if it's a miscalculation. I've heard of it popping up absurd a time or two and a phone call straightened it out.

I'm working on an LED project. I need 1000 3mm LEDs. Off ebay from china $15 shipped and have them inside a month... maybe... Or go 2 blocks down the street from my work to a Super Bright LEDs and pick up 1000 for $400 after taxes and have them inside an hour.

its 2017, you would think we could get a happy medium between the two

They stay in business because people want their stuff bad enough to wait.

You do have more options you know there's more than two places that sell leds of all different price and quality. Just have to shop around.
