American components

Is there any US distributors of components? I'm not trying to get anything from China right now.

DigiKey and Mouser have such huge inventory back stock that I wouldn’t worry about it, you’re ordering something that’s been sitting in a warehouse for months before the disease even started spreading.

I haven’t ordered anything from eBay lately but I’m not worried about distributors here.

Also there’s really no evidence that it can spread through shipped packages. Nothing is coming out of Wuhan or other infected areas right now either.


Viruses need very specific conditions in order to spread (no exposure to uv light, specific temperatures and ) and flying across the world in the cargo hold of an airplane doesn’t satisfy those really.

I understand the wariness but I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

How about shipping times?

I just got a package the other day from tayda, and it didn’t seem delayed. Tayda is based in Thailand, but I’m guessing a lot of their parts come from China. Though they aren’t as big as the others mentioned, they probably were able to fill my order from my parts in stock.

How about shipping times?

Not sure. I think that’s very region/carrier specific. Most sites or users you deal with should have a post about it somewhere from what I’ve seen.

I got a tayda shipment a week or so ago. Wait time was only a few days. Quick even for them.

I've got a Tayda shipment on its way that is coming from Colorado where they have a warehouse.

I wish Canadian orders got fulfilled by them!
