Jim..

 I suppose everybody has got burnt thru mail orders at some time in life,
but so far MECI has been good to me.  Probably has some to do with the
kinds of parts ordered, so far I have received good components,
especially the EMI filters.  I have had problems with other mail order
houses too and have not used them since.>
