Mouser and Digikey are probably the top two.

Your question isn't too clear though.

The question was poorly written. But as I interpret it, aren't Mouser and Digikey the type of 3rd party sellers that pcslookout wants to avoid? It sounds like pcslookout wants to buy electronics direct from the manufactuer.

Manufacturers wouldn't sell directly to you though.

Maybe you can order stuff from Hong Kong sellers through e-bay. That's about as close to the manufacturer as you're going to get.

Now if you really mean "Electrical" then Lowes, Home Depot, Ace Hardware or the like might be what you need. Anything more specialized than what they carry and I'd probably point you back to Ebay.

Electronics as a consumer but from a online store that sells them without a third party seller.

Unlike Amazon and Newegg does sometimes with some items.

So, you're talking a computer or phone.

Try Dell or Samsung or Apple. :D

Mambo go dog patch?

You know you can limit Amazon and Newegg to only direct sales, right?

Microcenter? Do they ship? I don't know because I live near THE Microcenter. Bow before me. I was just there this morning.

No I am talking computer parts.

If you know the part number, use findchips.com

It will point you to multiple distributors for various parts.

Unless you are looking to get samples from somewhere like TI, your going to have to buy from a distributor.

I guess we don't understand what you are going for. Is this some sort of protest against online stores with third party sellers?

Amazon + proper use of the filter tool:

There are some stores that sell directly online, however, that is not Newegg. Newegg buys things and sells them as a retailer. A lot of their items are purchased from intermediaries or middle marketers. Most large companies only sell to wholesale distributors because they dont have time to deal with all the little guys.

One company I know of likes to sell their products on-line is the Casper Mattress Company. That is not electronics but I sleep better at night.

Many on-line stores are just 3rd party retailers on the Internet.
