The Mouse House

[alanp]

A tour of Mouser's warehouse. As a mail order company, it was pretty much what I was expecting... EXCEPT for the sheer verticality of it!

It was more hands-on than I thought.

Same here.  I was very surprised.

Wow, that's awesome!

I guess I'm not too surprised it's so hands on since you can order low quantities of loose parts. If it was all tape-and-reel, I could see machines doing the count and cut.

Cool video, I'm actually surprised it's not more verticle. Can you imagine restocking parts in that warehouse?

[matmosphere]

Or doing inventory when it's tax time!?

Wow. that's cool

Same here.

Amazing that I have over 500 orders with them and I can only remember 2 times that a part was missing from my order. They are a great company to work with.

That's the exact same thing I was thinking.  I can't believe they rarely mess up my orders.

I can. Messed up orders cost money to fix -- courier costs, administration costs, and also bad word of mouth (how many times does Futurlec get dis-recommended around here?) which is no small thing.

Accuracy the first time would be one of the chief training points for employee intakes, I'd be willing to bet.

I was shocked when Mouser gave me 2 parts instead of 4 on a recent order.  It's the first time out of probably 50
orders that Mouser made a mistake.  They've got an economy shipping option now which is really great.  And I like
using their website.  Something to watch for:  sometimes an available part doesn't always show up in a search, so entering a part number
( or partial part number ) can pay off.
