| - | > Some parts come from international sampling rooms and will take a couple more days (Through UPS Saver) than domestic samples. Those go through USPS First Class and they don't ask questions. - wilywyrm | ||
| > They maintain order history, and send shipping notices. It can be hard to find samples of certain things, because they have "request sample" links for all products, but samples are not stocked for many products (though they will suggest alternatives). - foobar | > They maintain order history, and send shipping notices.

| - | > These guys are great. I've ordered a couple of connectors and USB cables from them and they all shipped the next day with FedEx next day air. There's apparently some value limit to the items/quantities they'll ship as samples and some parts require "approval" (Special ethernet cables), but nothing unreasonable. - wilywyrm | ||
| > ditto. I got it in 2 days by UPS, without a slightest problem. Note that won't be able to sample some common cables/connectors, but if you find it on their page with sample option, you're 99% getting it ASAP. Sometimes they give the items in bulk amount, sometimes only single ones or two pieces, YMMV (May/August 2013') - vaxquis | > ditto. I got it in 2 days by UPS, without a slightest problem.
