I have not had so much luck with all electronics. When i tried to order
items they sent back a refund because of being out of stock. Yes they do
have a large selection of components but so does many other companies
such as mouser electronics 1-800-mouser. Basically what you should do is
fill out a reader  survey card in an electronics magazine. 
This way you will have many catalogs ffrom which to find a certain part
or device and you wont have to be forced to order from one particular
company.
