It's good to know Digikey is now $8.00 for shipping, they used to be $20.00 so I've place all my orders with Newark in the past year and by the way every time I receive my package the next day late afternoon weather I've ordered early the previous day or as late as 8PM.
Gordito,
If you ever order from anyone other than Digikey and Newark and they ship UPS or Fedex you can have it delivered at Freeport Forwarding, a couple of minutes drive passed the Lacolle border and it will cost you $3 for anything under 200 lbs ($5 for 200 lbs and above and $10 for a pallet) they even accept Canadian money at pair.
While you are there you can even take advantage by filling up at half the price on gas.
I always declare everything on my way back at the customs and so far I got away with not paying any taxes on parts up to $150. Only once I had to pay the 2 taxes on an order of $250 (around $33.00)
Hope this helps,
Mike
