Reed, Digikey has a warehouse in Winnapeg that they service Canada
from, also a catalog with Canadian pricing on line.

There is a $6.50 handling charge on orders less than $32 something
bucks, plus shipping of course. I've used them a few times, they ship
purolater, it arrives within a few days. of course, you could drive
down to Dartmouth & give your buisness to RAE or Jentronics but they
probably won't have the stuff you want in stock anyhow.

Not the perfect solution but this is the world we live in -

In Canada, it's very hard top get small quantities of small parts even when you
can find someone that has what you need. I needed 7 zener diodes to do a project
and had to buy a minimum order of 500. Good thing they were only 7 cents each.

Thanks Howard.

Purolator is most acceptable. Have always had good experiences with
both Purolator and the Post Office. Now, UPS is something else.

They are also 3 hours away from here. Hard to believe, that at one time,
CamGuard and RAE were both in Moncton which is only about 10 minutes
from where I live (at rush hour).

You are so right.
