I'm always frustrated by DK, mostly bc I compare them to McM. Would *love* an EE take on this, tho http://pencerw.com/feed/2015/8/15/notes-on-amazon-and-decisions-in-b2b-ecommerce …

Digikey is so fast! The airport in Thief River Falls MN must be a case study in good logistics.
-
it's funny - the small barrier of paying for shipping upgrades = huge obstacle for me. way prefer McM for speed.
-
I have long argued that someone should do McM for electronics
-
so many thoughts on this
-
FWIW: I've spoken with a decent number of ex-McM people to understand what makes it work. We should chat sometime
-
ditto - and I *never* turn down a conversation about industrial suppliers :)

They are great at picking and shipping, but their website design is straight out of 1995.
-
agree. But, how are they so good at picking? What is that they're doing that nobody else does?
-
Employing the entire population of Thief River Falls has always been my best guess.
-
One day I will have to go there and check it out. I wonder if they give tours.
-
I have been there and have been given an extensive your. There's no one thing that makes them so good.
-
is there a prevalent culture that was apparent?
-
They loooove their people. Told supplier "Can't buy sales team pizza. Must buy whole company pizza."
-
hence my little joke at the end of this blog post. http://www.worthingtonassembly.com/blog/2016/7/12/digikey-rolls-out-reverse-part-attribute-lookup …

it certianly isn't their 1990s quality website. But their logistics operation is impressive.
