Me: "First and last order of the year. Promise."; wife: "uh-uh".

 

[BuddytheReow]

Is that a tayda order?

Definite bite to it.

Do we get to guess? Cool idea Buddy!

Let's see...12 Lbs of...

 

[BuddytheReow]

No, wait. Wait. 5.78kg of PCBs!!! That should last a while...

I was gonna go with enclosure screws, but your guess is good too.

 

[giovanni]

It’s 5.78 kg of dual A1M pots… wonder why they are always out of stock?

JK, I accumulated 22 PCBs so I ordered most of the parts I need for them, including 22 enclosures, over 100 pots, pot dust covers, LEDs, ICs, transistors… you get the idea.

 

[SYLV9ST9R]

Well, you’ll be able to tell your wife one of them was free

She is slow clapping.

Good luck with customs.
I'm going to pick up 100$ Tayda order from the DHL office today. As for now - only 25$ additional fees, but there's a chance for another 25$.

I wanted to send a member those elusive voltage regulators for a protoboard. USPS says $72 to AU !
Robbery I say!

No customs fees in the US.

Dude, I once ordered every value of resistor, capacitor and pot in values of 10-20 each and still didn’t break $125.

You must have ordered a ton of shit plus some enclosures to be up at that amount.

Oh yeah, 22 enclosures, 100+ pots, 12$ alone for three OPA2134PA, 74$ alone for foot switches...

 

[BuddytheReow]

If you're in the US, with an order that big I'm gonna assume you're not getting it for about a month

You would read in my obituary "killed by his wife, though he asked for it" if I put in a 22 project parts order like that.

Yeah painting all the enclosures is gonna take a while too.

 

[giovanni]

I also placed an order on Mouser which was almost $100… and I’m still missing some parts!

Postage from the US to Australia is expensive, but that's utterly bonkers. I just got a package of PCBs from Aion and I'll be getting one from PPCB next week, each were around US$17 in shipping. But surprisingly fast, though, both ordered first week of January. GlobalPost Standard International for both.

Pbfthhhh

Mouse nuts.

$17 makes way more sense. Thank you, I will check it out.
