I see that Digikey, after many years of offering UPS next-day air shipping costs for $8 to Canada, has now raised it to $20. !
I assume my shipments have been struck with the new tariffs now ? !!
I guess I will be looking to Amazon more often now.

 

Dunno bout the tariffs... They were struck down in court and the appeal against being struck down was appealed and struck down as well. So it will likely go to our Supreme Court for resolution but no word on that as yet that I've seen. I have noticed on eBay some notices attached to Japanese sellers about tariffs even though the tariff schedule I posted earlier (which was up to date) said no tariffs on electronic components, boards, or any RF gear. It is confusing times it seems...

 

Not tariffs, they have been charging that for years now. They do offer free shipping on orders over $100. Same is with Mouser and DigiKey

In Britain, Mouser gives free shipping on orders over £33 ($44).

 

Free shipping in Oz at AUD60 = 30GBP = 40USD

 

You might take a look at Tayda Electronics. They are based in Thailand with some stock in the US with a wide range of components at great prices. I find they're a good source, particularly for "stocking up" on parts. They ship quickly at rates not much higher than major distributors. I've been happy with the quality of everything I've purchased there.

They look pretty reaonable, I wonder if the prices I see are in CAN$ ?
What is the shipping time, typically?

 

Around a week usually. Often faster than UPS/FEDEX ground for roughly the same price.

 

Sayal has free shipping for orders over C$50.
