Per :
Where are you located that shipping is such a cost?

He neglected to say in his first post about this problem. Several
people, including me, gave him ideas, which he did not respond to.

Part of the problem is that I think he wants to buy just two capacitors,
so the typical $5-$7 shipping charge is much greater than the parts
cost.

Mea Culpa.

You nailed it. Ten bucks to ship two 89-cent caps that weigh less than
a half ounce? It's more a matter of principle... that plus thinking
that there *must* be a source where shipping charges are more rational.
I've had small circuit boards shipped all the way from Guandong Province
for zero shipping. OK, that's not "rational"... more like the Chinese
government subsidizing their businesses...

But at least 60 percent of the stuff I purchase via Amazon.com gets
shipped for free at a competitive price. (i.e. shipping/handling is not
rolled into the price).

But now that you've called me on it... I guess I will go the DigiKey
route.
