Has anyone here ever purchased anything from Mouser ? I tried to buy a Sifive Unmatched from there and a day later the order was cancelled by their Customer Accounts Team “after further review”. I will be calling them for more info but it just struck me as one of the weirdest experiences I have had with an online store.

Here and there for nearly 30 years. They’re my go-to for specific electronic components that I can trust not to be fakes. And when I was a poor college kid they were extremely generous with free product samples. Sometimes their shipping times suck, but that’s really the only bad thing I have to say about them.

They are a gigantic company tho; This is probably an inventory screwup. Or some products are restricted where they can ship.

I sometimes ordered from them in the last 8 years. No problems. Expensive but guaranteed valid parts. Your experience could be many things. Maybe there is a invalid permission to export this certain item to your region of purchase. I ran into that once with some serious part that also had military uses.

They’re legit. I’ve bought plenty of capacitors and passives for vintage-audio rebuilds, 74xx logic, SRAMs.

They can definitely scale to huge commercial-scale orders, but they’re very accomodating of my hobbyist “I only need 1 or 2, unless buying 10 or 100 is cheaper”.

I’ve bought from them plenty of times when Digi-Key didn’t have in stock what I wanted, or when they do fulfillment for certain partners. As another commenter mentioned, it’s likely that the devil is in the details - what were you ordering, how much, and to where?
