Parts Order Shipping Fun (Mouser Content)

[AllenM]

Not a rant or complaint.. mainly a funny observation

So Sunday I put together a massive parts order $272.00 (for me anyways) from Mouser. It inlcuded resistors, caps, etc. I get an email Monday showing a seperate order basically saying they forgot to include (2) of the resistors values and were sending them in a seperate package. So today some boxes so up at the office and I am all excited... (1) box from Mouser and (1) box from Smallbear! Let the building begin.. then I notice the Mouser box is very small and lite.. its just the (2) resistor values they forgot in the original order.. I look at the box and they shipped them Priority 1 - day.. I have to wonder how much they just spent on shipping $1.08 worth of parts!?! I laugh and check on line and the other package has no tracking yet but I hope it will show up tomorrow and then the fun can begin

What really makes this funny to me is that I live in Fort Worth, TX and Mouser is in Mansfield, TX... they are 26 minutes from my office... I should see if they offer will-call and just run there during lunch next time I need something The USPS likes to ship stuff across town and then back again taking 2-3 days to deliver a local package.

I had this happen also. I think Mouser sends the "forgotten package" with expedited shipping so it makes in around the same time of the original package. In your/my case the expedited one get to us first. Made me do a double take also.

Waiting on a Mouser order myself. I didn't want to pay extra, so I chose to wait until all parts came in stock. So resultingly, I'm waiting till 15april. What rare, exotic part incurs this wait?

1MOhm smd resistors.

How many do you need?  I have both 0603 and 0805. PMed
