Yeah, they are just farther away from me vs Mouser and have the same problem with shipping. A 10 cent resistor costs $15 to ship.
It’s definitely going to depend on where you live, the shipping estimate gives me for one is eight dollars. To a certain extent I feel like Amazon has given us an unrealistic expectation of how much shipping things costs. Eight dollars even for a tiny resistor though isn’t that far out of what I expected it to be, a lot of other places I shop online have pretty similar shipping costs. I’m willing to pay it in many cases though because it means not supporting a company like Amazon.
That resistor better be made of solid gold lol
Shipping costs business around $8 at the lowest end now. Retail shipping expect prices up at $12 for an ounce.
Thank the pedotus. They raised rates 4 times this year so far and another is coming next month.
