Title: Should i order from GON?
Post by: wafflepc on Wed, 27 January 2016, 16:13:46
Hey, just wondering if i should order from gon. Everything i need doesn't acquire assembly and isn't available anywhere else.

Everything from GON is great quality. The only problems are that he seems to be backed up for a while (people getting their orders months late). I'm not sure if that's still the case though

I ordered feet from him not too long ago, shipped in 10 days. But that is just feet, not a full board

Yeah, thats the only worry I have is the shipping. I just need Feet, PCB, diodes, and a spacebar wire. Ive heard that only the assembly required orders are gettign backed up.

What about if we want to buy a pcb and use his electric part service do I need to wait for months also?

He often stocks PCBs that are already pre-smd soldered. You can ask him if he has stock.

It's approx. 1 month, from late January to mid to late February. When they close and re-open depends on the vendor. Some open and close sooner / later than others.

when i spoke to him he said something about shipping being delayed during that period in time. so i just took it at face value. just figured i'd relay my experience with shipping around this time of year.
