Hi Canadians out there,
I ordered some stuff from Mouser some days ago, today the package is supposed to show up, the sad news is the duty charge is ridiculously high, I ordered some C$70+ parts, and I was told that the customs duty charge is around $40+
Oh my goodness, how can I live with that! Actually I found Digi-Key is great, they have stock in Canada, and provide a C$8 one box shipping, and it's very fast, you place the order in the afternoon and get it the next morning! But unfortunately, Digi-Key doesn't stock something like Vishay Dale MF resistors, that's why I ordered from Mouser, but the duty cost really hurts me.
I wonder how you guys deal with this issue? Order from Digi-Key only? Or from Partsconnextion? BTW, I chose UPS standard as shipping method for this Mouser order, it takes one week to arrive but cost more than the C$8 for Digi-Key's one box shipping, which is by Purolator.
Thanks in advance for any comments.
