Is it ok to use heat shrink tubing on electrolytic capacitors or do they need to breathe? Like, does heat need to be able to escape off of the top of them or something? The reasoning for it could range from a preferred look to avoiding a short when bent and touching the underside of the circuit...

I have a 9V battery only (no power jack) on a fuzz circuit. How can I wire a footswitch so that when it is in true bypass, the battery is not draining? (I don’t have a stereo jack.) It has an LED as well. If I use this wiring technique, would the battery keep draining regardless of the switch...

My order made it through customs today, apparently without a tariff. My total for the order was about $500.

I was wondering if prices were changing on some of their products.

I was wondering if prices were changed by on some stuff.

Tayda site is up again and looks great. Mobile friendly. They remodeled it.

I agree. Tayda has been so wonderful. They don’t deserve this. I’m tempted to stick with them even though tariffs are high now.

I was going to ask what sites are USA-based where PCB printing is reasonably priced.

It makes me wonder if some get passed along and some don’t… like if they avoid bottleneck chaos situations by selecting ones to check.

Was it returned to Bangkok from China or from the US?

Ugh. I hope the delay isn’t too long for you. Today I had to fill out a form giving more details as to what the product is and its intended use before it could be released for shipment from the clearing agency. Did you have to do anything like that? I didn’t quite know what to add. The invoice...

I received an email from UPS and was able to log in and provide more details and explain the intended use via their online form. Upon submitting the info the warning went away on the UPS tracking page. Hopefully that means it is on its way again and won’t get stuck.

Do you anticipate continuing to order from outside the US or look for alternatives?

The status of my Tayda order as per UPS says: “The package is at the clearing agency awaiting final release.” Does this mean it is getting analyzed for a tariff? …or is that just a normal part of shipment tracking that I haven’t noticed before? Edit… It shows “On the way” now but is still...

Is it possible that they would tax some packages and not others just so there is not a bottleneck of unpaid packages on hold? Seems taxing each and every one would cause delays and not be good for these shipping service companies.

Well, I appreciate the replies. I find this confusing and it is hard to know what to expect. I’m gearing up to start a little home-based pedal business that I can use as a side gig. (Still a ways off, but in a year or two.) Apparently my timing is horrible as I’m in a season of gathering...

So, how does this new tariff work? It seems like packages will move along because they wouldn’t have time to check each one, but random packages would be selected, opened and evaluated, and if the goods are less than $800, we have to pay 10% and if it is valued higher we have to pay 34%. Is that...

When a notice of payment due happens, what is the delay like? Is it like you pay the tariff with PayPal and the package starts moving again the next day or is it days or weeks to clear, etc? I’m hoping mine will get passed through ok. I placed an order for $500+ with Tayda two weeks ago and it...

It works!

I got my first circuit in the mail today. We’ll see if it works tonight.
