It's sad to see yet another previously valuable component supplier
price themselves out of the global market by hostile shipping
policies. Prior to August last year, it was possible to buy a handful
of parts off them and be charged around $10 shipping to far flung
corners of the globe (Canada Post "small packet" airmail rates). Now
they insist on EMS shipping
at "$25 up" which, in the case of a 4 ounce packet to New Zealand,
amounts to USD$35 shipping !. No amount of wittering on about
trackability, proof of delivery and insurance can convince me that
this is a good thing. Any other suppliers of obscure bits who don't
rort the shipping ?.
