Mouser has improved since my previous bad experience, 2 things I found still
lacking are:

a. back order shipping is chargeable but digikey has 1 free back order
shipping.  This allow you to place enough to qualify for the free shipping,
and at the same time get your urgent part fast and the filler at a later
date.

b. some items do not have free shipping.  This is easily overlooked, I got
hit the last time when they were charging US$20 flat fee, and that item took
the fee to US$80.  Mouser was not responsive at all, I had to refuse
acceptance at my door and claimed back from the Visa.
