Buying computer bits

[ewx]

Dabs have been claiming for the last couple of weeks that one of the items in my order was expected to come into stock in 1-2 days. So I've cancelled the order; after that long it's not uncertain lead times any more, it's just lying to customers.

So where do people buy their computer bits from currently?

(In the light of some of the comments below I should add that I don't have a corporate account, and don't buy in the kind of volume that persuades account managers to sit up and beg.)

I don't use ebuyer because only about half the people I speak to say "no problems!", and the other half complain. I was just recommended http://www/redstore.com (and they were cheaper than ebuyer for the item I wanted), but they didn't like my switch card not having an issue number, and I don't have a confirmation email although it didn't *say* my order didn't go through (I put N/A in the "issue number" box and it shut up), so I'm reserving judgment till I see if my order arrives.

www.redstore.com
