Bull SHit!
Sure you can buy a 2n2222a for .25 cents US (lets buy 10 for example)
that's
Now $2.50 USD (which is $3.32 Aus)
0.25 USD
United States Dollars = 0.332400 AUD
Australia Dollars
1 USD = 1.32960 AUD 1 AUD = 0.752106 USD
Then add on the Freight,
UPS Rates & Service Selection
a.. UPS Worldwide Express(SM) $76.61
a.. UPS Worldwide Expedited(SM) $74.26
a.. FedEx International Economy $78.07
a.. FedEx International Priority $80.48
a.. USPS Global Express $26.16
a.. USPS Guaranteed Global Express $62.76
That's from their own site.
so I would have to buy a ton to make it worth while.
Not to mention this yank is ripping off an Australian Company Name ,
and your going to buy from them , you must also be a Dumb idiot too....
What a Wank,
He's a YANK and like any spammer, has no Brainer....
lol
don't encourage these losers..
You loser!
Oh do yourself a favour and learn to read before you make a complete idiot
of yourself in the future.
First off try reading my post and engaging the brain before you engage the
keyboard .
I did say you'd have to buy enough to offset any shipping costs, didn't I?
In case you missed it, here it is again -
"If you were ordering in quantity the savings may very well be worth it as
long as you offset the shipping cost."
Okay, let's do the maths. Based on an exchange rate of AU$1.00 = US$0.75
(close enough to your conversion rate).
I want to buy 200 x 2N2222A transistors. Not an unreasonable quantity for a
small product run.
From the US company (even with the outrageous USPS Global Express shipping
rate) it works out to AU$113.47 in total.
From Altronics locally = AU$160.00 and this doesn't include postage. In
approximate terms that's $46 I'm saving or if you like a saving of around
28%. An amount not to be sneezed at.
Who in their right mind would only buy 10 cheap small signal garden veriety
transistors from an overses supplier as their complete order?
Obviously only a dimwit like you would.
LOL
Just for the record I'm an Altronics (yes the Aussie mob) customer. I have
a trade account with them and I do buy locally as well as from OS. A lot
depends on the quantity and the urgency, although USPS Global Express will
have most things from the USA on my doorstep within 4 days of ordering.

Alan
