Sad and mildly irritating, but nothing we can do about it. This bit is true. -- Antonio Carlini anto...@acarlini.com

Has anyone had problems with LCSC ? They can be a lot cheaper than mouser or digikey but I tend to trust them more than Aliexpress and ebay.

Back in November 2021, in addition to the line item cost for each quantity of parts that I ordered, there was a total shipping charge, plus the total local WA state sales tax charge. There was no separate import charge. The shipping charge at the time seemed very reasonable. For one order of 4 tubes of DIP parts it was $7 total, with that shipping charge then split between FedEx shipping from TX for some parts, and DHL shipping from ASIA for other parts. I forget why I ordered directly from TI at the time. Maybe they had some of the parts in stock that were not currently in stock at Mouser or Digi-Key, or maybe the total with shipping was lower than at either Mouser or Digi-Key.

Didn't check ACT, HCT, or ALS. I don't think we've had a 7400 series part that we couldn't just order off Mouser in recent history, and we're usually buying QTY 100. You can also buy parts direct from TI, for example they currently show around around 3000 SN74LS04N parts in stock. https://www.ti.com/product/SN74LS04/part-details/SN74LS04N The prices for that part match the current Mouser prices of $0.674 each, or $0.519 each if you buy at least 4 tubes of 25 parts. I've bought some tubes of 74LS parts direct from TI in the last year. Interesting, but does TI offer free international shipping with import duties & taxes covered if you order over $100US?

[cctalk] Re: typical IC kits on Amazon and elsewhere
My problem with DigiKey is tacking on the additional “tariff” charge on invoices. Granted it’s not an extreme amount, but still… I contacted Mouser about imposing additional tariff charges, and was told a resounding no. Thanks to our past president for increasing the cost of doing business, and thanks to our current president for not caring enough to roll it back.
