RS usually has what I am looking for and can deliver it quickly!
I found the correct item.
I live on the IOM getting parts can be a problem, I found the correct item, placed order and 2 days later the lifting table was back in service. when I have ordered from others in the past I'd still be waiting. Down time minimal it just does not get any better.
Huge product range
RS have a huge range of products and are very good at providing information and data sheets. Customer service is good and the returns process is easy.
I've dropped a star as the stock levels and lead times have become more of an issue. We considered the higher prices at RS to be a premium to pay for having stock available for next day delivery, but with the lead times, they have lost that edge.

Always great service from the branch in Southall,
Have been using RS for 26 years. Always have what I require.
Good quality parts
Delivery did not arrive
We needed 2 items urgently, so ordered from RS and paid extra for pre 10:30. When not arrived, I used their tracking service that said items not despatched. I phoned, the person I spoke with was very nice and helpful, but I was unfortunately told that there had been some issue and I would not be receiving my parcel on the day. They have resent it and reimbursed the freight cost, which is all they can do. The situation has just let us down.

Extremely disappointed with RS
Extremely disappointed with RS. I have always relied on RS to get me urgent parts next day, for when I really need them. I placed an order with a pre-11 next day delivery, everything in stock. At 11, nothing had arrived, and on calling I was told that these were "special" items that couldn't be delivered next day! It's just connectors and switches, with no indication on the website that they were a special order. I'll be using Farnell next time.

Teresa Smith went above and beyond to help me with an order that had been missing with DHL for over a week. She took full ownership of the issue, ensured the order was delivered the very next day, and even followed up with a call to confirm it had arrived. Excellent service throughout, she’s a real asset to the team.

Very Poor delivery Service
Original order 10/03/26 was lost by courier and replacement ordered 16/03/26 days later, it still took the courier 5 days to deliver the item.

Wrong size jacket
Thought I'd better have XL rather than just Large, but that wasn't in stock so ordered XXL. Found out, after I'd worn it, that what was actually supplied was XXXL !
