Since December I've placed 12 orders with DigiKey, ranging in cost from$4.81 to $38.57 and did not pay one cent in postage. Go back and read reply #2 in this thread to see how. Total savings in postage is $83.88 (12 X $6.99). This only works for items stocked and shipped by DigiKey, no "Marketplace" items. Average delivery in 7-10 days from my posting of the order. This has been a great deal for me as a hobbyist.
