The era of cheap parts with free shipping from China seems to be coming to an end. The US just announced a year long process to withdraw from a 144-year old agreement giving Chinese goods very inexpensive shipping rates to the US.
I've been taking advantage of this loophole for years now. When I can wait for a generic part I will order thru EBay where I get a low unit price and typically free shipping. If I don't mind the 2-4 week shipping delay it s a great deal for me.
Seems the free shipping will be coming to an end. I can only wish the increase in price will also yield an increase in speed.
