Has anyone ever dealt with circuitspecialists.com?

They seem to have pretty good prices on electronic components. Specifically I was looking at the following:

Red Fully Insulated .187 Female Disconnects 100 Pack - $3.59
http://circuitspecialists.com/prod.itml/icOid/7707

25 wire shielded 100 foot roll of round cable - $15.95
http://circuitspecialists.com/prod.itml/icOid/1093

The prices seem good and shipping is reasonable of you order a few things (shipping is based on weight).

Anyway just wondering if anyone has had any expirence with these guys.

I guess you'd definitely have to order several things to make shipping worthwhile.  I put just a pack of disconnects in my shopping cart, and had it estimate shipping.  $10.19!!!!!!

Same thing happened with me started at ~$9 for that one pack of disconnects, but I added a whole bunch of other stuff (that 100' 25 wire cable for example) and I'm ~$10. That's what I meant about ordering a few things.

Just a note about that wire.  There are 25 conductors in a space of little more than 1/4".  That has to be some really fine wire in there and it doesn't state whether it is stranded or solid.  

It would be a bummer to buy all that and find out that it is solid 30ga :b

Yea for sure, just to echo Randy there.. I DID THAT!

I ordered a roll of wire for some other stuff that i had to do with a keyboard hack and jukebox thing i (tried) to do... and the damn roll came unshielded!!!  i fainted, even though im broke.. the 20 bucks didnt kill me, just the time lost, i had to wait a few weeks for more spare time to order some things and have more spare time a few weeks later....   in other words. DONT DO THAT...    ::quivers at the thought again::

Sorry, I probably should have mentioned that I'm not getting the wire for this project, it's to clean up my phone systems wiring (ie lots of connections on a punch-down block). Anyway the wire is solid and like 26 AWG so it wouldn't be ideal anyway for my cab anyway. Although I was considering wiring my cp via punch-down blocks (I'm an old telco guy).
