Where do you order your stuff in Canada? - Page 2 - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

FYI Alpha Wire at Mouser seems to be half the price of Digikey. I found this out AFTER ordering a bunch of spools and could no longer return them. Even after currency exchange rates and brokerage it still beats Digikey by a fair margin. Man was I pissed. I've been waiting for nearly a year now to need a bunch of stuff from Mouser so I can get more wire since orders need to be bigger from Mouser than Digikey to be worth it.

It appears the minimum order is now not applicable at Digi-Key.
My orders are normally above what i thought was the minimum.

Digi-Key Terms & Conditions scroll half way down to conditions of order item #8.

Anyone place a small order lately?
