Hi,

Have you experience with this?
http://www.dealextreme.com/c/diy-parts-components-410
Free shipping and some prices seems very fair (at least from here!)

In particular I'm keeping an eye in these:

I'm waiting for my last Tayda buy to arrive and then I'll give it a try.

Be forewarned: It took three months for me to get a desoldering pump I ordered from there.

Indeed. Delivery times above 1 month are standard for DX. Loads of worst chinese quality stuff and counterfeits too.

Thank you both for your comments... Yeah, I was aware of the long delivery times... not really a problem, I'm not in a hurry and anyway a standar shipping time from Tayda is about 3 o 4 weeks. But quality and counterfeit are an issue... I had mixed reviews of dealextreme in the past, mainly about quality of stuff, but it was consumers electronics gadgets and not specifically diy parts. Other places like alibaba (well, the name says it all) I'll avoid at all cost.
