Their only distribution center, at that! They ship everything out of the Thief River Falls warehouse. They also run a great tour, if you're ever in the area. Fun fact, they can take just about any combination of the 1million+ SKUs they stock from order reception to in a box waiting for a truck in under 15 minutes.

another fun fact, they will ship for free if you pay by check.

> They also run a great tour, if you're ever in the area. Hearing this made me very curious, then sad, as I'm 8953mi ( 14408km) away. But then I found https://spectrum.ieee.org/slideshow/semiconductors/devices/slideshow-a-day-in-the-life-of-digikey https://spectrum.ieee.org/slideshow/semiconductors/devices/s.... The tiny little blue arrows on the slideshow weren't immediately obvious!

They have (had?) a local warehouse I think off 101 in the Bay Area, don't remember exactly where. You could walk in with a list of parts and they would grab them for you right there.

  You're thinking of Jameco?

    Yep thanks I just remembered that's what it was ("it had a J in it"). Woops. Not sure why I've had them confused for Digi-Key the last few years. Maybe the Digi-Key branding is just more memorable.
