Post by: Coda-effects on April 29, 2015, 02:21:10 PM
Hello!

Just asking: do you know a way to diminish mouser shipping costs ?

Thank you!
Hard to get through this website, so many references !

Are you in the U.S.?  I've never found the shipping costs to be all that high.  Usually between $7-10.  Of course, if you just need a part or two that might be a problem.  I tend to try and place larger orders so the shipping is a small percentage of the order.

Digikey may be a better bet for that.  Last time I checked, they had a $2.99 shipping option via post office if the order is small enough.

If you are overseas, I think Mouser offers free shipping over $200.  I'm not sure of the details, however.

Not sure it's the same in France but for Belgium shipping is free as from 60 or 65 EUR (don't remember exactly...)
So it's only interesting when you make a big order.
Also note that the prices shown on the website are without VAT taxes (so you will not have the big surprise when finalizing your shopping basket ;-) )

Thanks for the tips! If it is free above 65 euros, that could do the trick!
Apparently, taxes are included for the french website.

Been there, done that. Huge disappointment.

Don't you usually get that big surprise when the delivery guy comes with an extra bill courtesy of your local customs and tax man?

This is why I pretty much stopped ordering anything big from outside the EU and the US in particular.
