Including shipping makes no sense as you have no idea what else people will be ordering at the same time, sharing the shipping cost. For small items like components, the ship cost can be the same for 1x as 100x
It just makes your parts look ludicrously overpriced, so people may take one look and disregard your whole website. e.g. I saw 1x MC34063A at about 20x the Digikey 1-off price

You have the 74HC14, but I think you should consider stocking the CD4093. You can use the four NAND gates in the 4093 as Schmitt trigger inverters but being NAND gates they lend themselves to more versatile operation.

For instance, here are some collections of 4093-based projects:

Genuine question - why would someone want to buy from you instead of Digikey, Mouser etc.?

And though multiple images can sometimes be useful on things like connectors, is it really necessary to show TEN different images of an 8-pin DIP ? Could your time not be better spent elsewhere ?

I agree and am making the necessary changes, as we speak. Thanks.

Point taken on the pictures, people like to see what they buy so more is better was the thought process.

Why buy from us rather than the big guys? There are times where we can come in less expensive, on orders, when you include the price of shipping the big guys charge. Not all the time, but sometimes, due to our lower overhead.
