Last update: Wed, Mar 9, 2022 1:01 AM
On May 4th, no product. I sent an e-mail asking for an update. Was told it would be shipped June 4th - 5th.
E-mailed today, June 24th. Asked for the order to be cancelled if it had not yet been shipped. Order cancelled.
Customer service was okay, quick replies and friendly. I'm very dissatisfied with my experience though. If an order is going to take this long to fulfill, at least keep me in the loop. Would not recommend to anyone.
apart from not having the part i needed, she "Michele" was very rude and when i asked to cancel my order she just said "OK" and then hanged up! it was very insulting.
i rather pay 5 times more to DigiKey and have my parts over night.
long story short, DONT BUY FROM ALLIED ELECTRONICS
First was the $5 handling charge for not meeting their $25 minimum, then more in taxes than I paid for the part... and to top it all off around $9.50 for shipping!!! For a part smaller than the nail on my pinky finger! The whole package weighed an amazing 0.2lbs. I asked the UPS driver who delivered it and he said it should have cost around $5 for the company to ship...
I think worse than the charges themselves was the fact that the website couldn't even tell me how much I was going to be charged total! The checkout page only lists the price of the product and handling and states that tax and shipping "need to be calculated manually". Needest to say I never expected another $10.
I will not buy from Allied ever again, should have stuck with Mouser!
Then I was charged $9.24 for shipping (ground 5-7 days UPS), of which I was told $1.24 was for insurance on my $2.38 purchase, which I didn't request. The shipping charges are supposed to be actuals, so the cost isn't available at checkout. However the default choice is UPS, and they make a point of refusing to use USPS tracking.
There was of course $5 in handling this charge was actually listed quite prominently on the order. So it ended up costing me $18.05 for an order of less than $2.50. The parts weigh maybe 3 ounces.
When the regional WEB representative called me back he was quite willing to justify and dispute the necessity of the sales tax, (which is the complaint I started and ended with, given his viewpoint) even going to far as to be willing to have me talk to accounting. I don't think I can afford to continue shopping at Allied Electronics.
I ordered about $50 worth of IR leds and photo transistors and supporting stuff on Tuesday, Sept 6, 2011. It arrived before noontime on Friday! And I wasn't paying for special shipping. Allied had the order pulled and shipped the same day I submitted it. I've ordered from Allied before and had the same sort of service. I don't buy a lot of electronics stuff these days, but Allied is where I go when I do. Shipping was $10.65 - not the cheapest I've ever seen. But there was a fairly heavy power transformer in there. My alternative source locally would be Fry's electronics where I could have paid $3 and up each for IR leds instead of
I was very, very displeased with the service.
However, I found two pitfalls with Allied.
The first problem is they don't tell you the shipping cost until after your order has shipped, although they claim they only charge their actually shipping costs. I ordinarily would not place an order without knowing the order total, but I foolishly decided to give it a shot with Allied. I ordered an item for approximately $20, which had a gross shipping weight of less than half a pound. I elected to have my item shipped via UPS second-day service, which I thought would be reasonably priced. Much to by surprise, my order total nearly doubled after shipping costs and taxes were added.
The second problem I found with Allied, which contributed to my higher-than-expected order total, is they charge sales tax on shipping! I don't recall another online merchant ever charging me sales tax on shipping.
Because of these problems I will try to avoid Allied in favor of Digi-Key, Mouser, and Jameco for my future electronics needs.
On the positive side, Allied got my order to me correctly and quickly. They also have a snazzy catalog.
