Common questions
Is digikey.ca legit or a scam?
AboutUs doesn't label sites "legit" or "a scam": this page lists the dated registration, DNS, HTTPS, mail-authentication and safety checks we could verify, each with its source, so you can decide for yourself.
Who owns digikey.ca?
Nobody has completed AboutUs's owner verification for digikey.ca. That's true of most sites here — it isn't itself a warning sign.
