Im hoping when digikeys catalogue arrives at my place that will make ordering easier as their website layout is terrible.

Save the paper, they have a pdf version of their catalog:

Using the search feature to sift through parts is cumbersome and annoying .. but when you index 100,000s of items .. that's the way it goes.

newark has everything you want but its website is similar to digikey, Their catalog is even larger than digikey.
I buy from digikey mostly as they have good pricing and if you buy bulk you can get some great deals if you wheel and deal with the salesman.

I was looking at newark last night, but again they want $15 for shipping

I have bought things at both RP Electronics in Burnaby http://www.rpelectronics.com/ and at Main Electronics in Vancouver http://www.mainelectronics.com/
The things I have bought pertain to fixing and building audio amps but I have found everything I needed locally at these two stores.
