Hi,
I have played with a lot of vendors in my time. IMHO, they ALL goof now
and then... In fact, I can't think of one that has never made a
mistake... DigiKey, McMaster Carr, MSC,.... I don't think Parawire was
hoping to make a big profit by shorting you 0.3lbs of wire ;-)) What is
important is how they react if there is a problem. It would appear that
Parawire made a mistake and they are more than happy to fix it. You really
can't ask for much more...

Parawire makes all kinds of craft and decorative wire too that is far below
standard for electrical use. Be sure to tell them you need "electrical
magnet" wire. In this case, the wire seems to be the type used to wrap
Christmas ornaments and such rather than magnet wire.
Good vendors are hard to find. They go a long way to make things right,
and I go a long way to be understanding when things don't go right.
Cheers,
Terry
