In the past 6 months, I've had some issues as well -- incorrect parts  
sent to me (extra that I hadn't ordered, and yes I told them about  
it).  Incorrect quantities on my order (email order, not verbal), and  
nowadays I notice that they're not willing to negotiate on price as  
much as they used to.  But then again, my previous sales rep moved to  
another position within the company, and she was very helpful with  
these things.

FWIW, I still prefer them over Mouser, as Mouser keeps missing their  
ship times, even though I order well before their deadlines, and they  
give me an "oh well" attitude.

I've been using other sources (like Abstract Electronics) for PICs --  
better pricing.

Cheers,
-Neil.
