Didn't Farnell Electronics buy Newark? IIRC they did.
I've never had any trouble with Farnell - orders always ready on time, 90%
of the components I needed were in stock, top marks to them.
Only problem is, they will now only send out paper catalogues to company
account holders... Which means I've got two choices - their website
(unusable) or the CDROM catalogue (too damn slow)... *sigh*
What really annoys me is that they say nothing about this on the website!
The "How to get a catalogue" info basically says "Send your address to Sales
and we'll send you one"...
All this is my own experience, YMMV, E&OE.

Later.
