What's the best website to order electrical components (PCBs.. etc) from? I live in Europe so preferably a European site so I don't have to pay the import tax and extra for postage

>the best website
If there was a single 'best' webshop, no others would exist.
There's ali, ebay, amazon, mouser, digikey, conrad..
>PCBs.. etc
Raw material for etching pcbs on your own?

Digikey has some interesting components, is it any good?

Dunno? What do you need? You are basically asking us to tell you which shop is best, but you don't seem to have any clue what you're after. Try this, it works for 99% of us..
> design project
> work out bill of materials
> see which website sells the components you need

> stop making shit threads about things you can work out for yourself.

largest suppliers that I know that ship from europe (to avoid import taxes) would be farnell and rs-components
(IIRC farnell stopped to sell to private persons and started to require a corporate VAT number, not sure if it's still the case)
other places to try are distrelec and reichelt
for PCBs you can try Eurocircuits, very good service and quality.
however, it's so much more expensive that it's typically cheaper to order from China and pay extra shipping+import tax
just use pcbshopper and compare for yourself
Reichelt-elektronik
Only way for eurofags like us
Depends on what you're ordering and how quick you want it.
I usually order components through ebay from hong kong or China because they cost fuck all and there's free shipping.
Only problem is it takes 4-6 weeks to get them.
Digikey and Mouser charge €20 in Ireland and I'm usually only ordering €10-€20 worth of components at a time so fuck that.
I got 5 double sided PCBs made by allpcbs there and they were grand.
I submitted the gerbers Friday night and the boards were delivered on Wednesday.
It cost €38 with shipping.
Also ordered through dirty pcbs before and they were good but only do boards up to 10cm squared

conrad is one of the better sites to search, then order it off ebay.de or ebay.co.uk.
Mouser or TME
Not OP but what about mechanical components like gears, pneumatik actors etc. Besides the occasional diy 3d printer set i rarely find a worthwile catalogue.
