Newark packaging

What is Newark's philosophy? Charge the
customer the highest shipping fee possible? I order 12 IC's and some transistors. Total weight an ounce at most. Total
volume a few cubic inches. They ship it in
a box that's about 2 1/2 feet long and 6 inches
in both the other two dimensions (the IC's were in a long tube). $16!!!!!

Oh well, at least I have a lifetime supply of bubble wrap now

The formula is simple:

Repackaging into smaller container = Lots of $ for company to cover handling

Sending your the whole tube = Let the CUSTOMER pay for shipping
