I received two packages of components in December (mostly caps). One had four caps (very small), from Mouser. I was billed an additional $32 CAD brokerage after the package was delivered. The other had a bunch of caps, (some big) from DigiKey. The package was the size of half ream of paper. FedEx billed me $84CAD to broker that one.
Obviously, I need to order in larger batches. Has anyone figured out a solution. Perhaps using Global Ship, like we can use on eBay to keep the cost reasonable?
I didn't have a shipping option in either case but I might be able to find a relay service.
I just paid $54 CAD for shipping and brokerage on a box the size of a deck of playing cards with $4.25 worth of caps in it. Suffice to say, I'm wide open to ideas. lol!
Thoughts?
