Would some kind soul in the US add my Mouser order to theirs?

It is nice that someone would do that but I don't see why he would want to ask someone to make all of this effort so he can save a couple bucks. Believe me when I say the fees are not bad at all even if you get charged them at all. Hell, I have had a full set of wheels/tires shipped to me without even getting charged anything. Being a kid as well I think you need to learn to do things yourself instead of asking someone else to do it for you. Go to work, make a few extra bucks, and place that order yourself. Tell you parents how legit mouser is. There is no way anything will happen to their credit card info. Pay them the cash and then make the order with their credit card.

JV.

BTW: I do all my orders/online selling/shipping myself. I am the same age as you Sinbios.

I frequently receive packages from the US, and even USPS charges a $5 handling fee + whatever duties apply unless the shipper marked it as a gift and under $60CDN. Somehow, I don't think Mouser will be doing that.

I do my own orders from digikey and ebay, etc, when I am able. Alas, I am unable to circumvate the fact that you have to pay Mouser via credit card.

Or I could save that money and put it towards my next project

I have tried. The answer was no. The fact that they are first generation immigrants plus that the family's financial situation isn't the greatest has made them very paranoid. My father order from Newark sometimes, and even he uses money orders only.

I haven't heard back Steve yet, so quite possibly!
