Made the mistake of ordering from them once, shortly after they hit facebook and their ads flooded my wife's feed.

Cheapest electronic passives ever, stuff like banana plugs didn't fit anything, even among their lot. Alligator clips were softer than copper wire and bent rather than grip. To top it all off, the quantities of everything I got were less than i ordered, and half the things i ordered never arrived at all.

Good riddance.
