I haven't dealt with them myself, but was rather put off by the
significant number of very negative reports that seem to be floating
around out there on the net.  Searching on "Futurelec review" is
enlightening.  Their rating with the New York BBB... not comforting.

Some people seem to swear by them, having gotten just what they
ordered.  Others swear *at* them, saying that they'd ordered parts
which then turned out (after the fact) to be "out of stock" or which
showed up very late, if at all.  Customer service doesn't appear to be
their strong point.

I decided to stick with Mouser and DigiKey and Newark and similar
suppliers.
