just remembering that Jaycar was started by EX DSE senior mangers disappointed in the new owners direction after Dick sold it.

DS has certainly morphed over a period of time into a Retail Chain that provides overpriced TV's, Printer Cartridges, Smart Phones & other consumer junk, mixed in with Floor Staff who know very little - to nothing about electronics. That was a conscious business decision made & implemented - as was providing products for sale Online too. The traditional 'Brick & Mortar' store now competes with itself Online, along with a plethora of other Online Retailers. . .

As for electronic components, JayCar are certainly an option for the hobbyist/Electronic Geek - JC resembles a lesser shade of what DSE used to be in a previous life. So too for Hobbyist Nuts [ I say that with much love & affection ] Online + Google are your bestest friends, with many/any electronic components & parts available from suppliers around the World. 

The question is now:

1] How would you like to pay for that?

2] Would you like that delivered by drone?

3] How long can you wait for your order to arrive from Helsinki? 

Cheers.
