The distributors.
I have not come across a more useless bunch of wankers in the
distribution business.

Me: Hi, do you have this part xxxx?
Them: Do you have an account?
Me: No, but if you have the part we will open an account to purchase.
Them: You need an account.
Me: I just need to know whether you stock the item.
Them: You need an account.

repeat ad nauseam.

This is the second time in 15 years I've dealt with them. The first time
I swore I'd never do it again (actually did not manage it the first time
either, for similar reasons). I have learned my lesson.

How such a bunch of total fuckwits ever manage to sell anything is
beyond me.


Why call? P&A is available instantly on their web site, no
registration required. And you get more info anyhow, like different
temp grades and package choices, stuff that would be hard to learn on
the phone.

We buy a lot from Arrow, and they're OK for us.
