Anybody in Canada would have two CD4517 ?

[Gaetan Mailloux]

Hello

Anybody in Canada would have two CD4517, or two HEF4517, or two HCF4517 ?

I would pay the parts and the stamps cost to send it to me by Canada post.

I live far from cities, in Laurentides mountains in Quebec province, and
there is no electronics stores arround, and to order them from any web
electronics stores would cost 8 times, in shipping cost, than the value of
the chip.

Thank

Bye

According to their site, US Postal is only 8 bucks. You could get a few
other supplies to go along with the chips to make the shipping cost
viable.

Additional - they do not have a minimum order amount.

Try Mouser Electronics:

They've got stock, but I don't know what their minimums are or if
they'll ship via Canada post.

Not a good idea for Canadians, I'm afraid. Both times I tried to order
from them recently, they demanded a photocopy of my passport! No
explanation, just that they would not be able to approve my credit card
without the passport info.
Go to Digi-Key if at all possible.

That's likely the company's paranoia, though I'm not sure what a passport
has to do with it.

But it does bring up the point that some US companies do not ship
via the post office, and some of those courier companies end up tacking
on a large "brokerage fee" to get it into Canada. I'm not sure if it's
all the courier companies, or just some, but you need to watch for
that. Getting charged fifty dollars extra to bring some parts in
is not a good thing.

OK, I put in an order for some small parts just to see. I bought about
12 bucks worth of semis (including a couple of CD4517) and was charged 8
bucks for USPS Global Priority Shipping. All in Canadian funds. No
requirement for passports or anything. Of course they may still contact
me about that.

Hello

Last week a US parts store refuse an order because they do not ship in
Quebec, but they ship in other province of Canada !

Few month ago Mouser ask $25 of chipping for few parts.

Btw, since I do not have Paypal or any credit card, every time I did buy
in US I do have to pay by postal money order in US money, so it cost close
to $5 more, added to the shipping cost.

So US buying are quite finish for me.

Most of the time I take my parts on old PC or others kind of board,
because of my small budget, but sometime the parts I need are not on those
old boards.

Thank guy's

I'd be curious to hear how you make out. My orders were quite a bit
bigger (a few thousand dollars), but my credit card was approved so
they should have shipped the ICs. Maybe they just get extremely
paranoid about larger orders that are going out of country.

I Live in Canada, Ontario. I have no problems getting orders from any
of the major distributors. One time about 5 years ago Allied ask for a
fax for personal info what I do etc. I don't know if they still do
that.

You are better off dealing with their preferred courier usually they
have deals with couriers that include in the shipping fee customs
brokerage. Typical courier fees are from $8 to $12. My orders aren't
in the thousands of dollars usually somewhere in the $60 to $200
range.

Maybe try this place they have a franchise in Quebec.
