ORDERING: You can order anything here just by picking up the phone, and calling +1 (250) 769-1834 during normal office hours, 8am to 4:30pm, PST. Prices are shown in $, you will be billed locally in C$. Your credit card company will re-convert to US$ (or other currency) on your statement, but usually at a rate worse than ours. This can result in small currency conversion discrepancies which are beyond our control. We process VISA/MC orders immediately.You can also send your order by FAX at: +1 (250) 769-4106. Or, EMAIL YOUR ORDER HERE! SHIPPING: Canadian ExpressPost (NOT regular mail, this is like US Global Priority/Courier) Rates: To USA destinations, shipping and packing minimum of $23 for any insured, trackable air shipment up to 1kg (typical delivery within 5 business days), Canadian destinations are typically $10-14 (delivery within 2-3 business days). It is also possible to ship uninsured, untracked, small packets (250g max.) for roughly $12-14 to the USA, but delivery delays can be up to 8 weeks according to the US Postal Service, and so we cannot recommend it. Virtually all of our shipment failures have been because of this method, so it should be used with caution. We have an extraordinarily good success rate (better than 99.9%) with ExpressPost, so we highly recommend it, especially for one-of-a-kind items. It is cheaper than couriers, trackable, more reliable, fully insured and goes almost everywhere. Shipping/handling to Europe, Australia, South America and other overseas areas via Canada Post International ExpressPost air mail insured service or Canada Post International Air Service where ExpressPost is not offered is $51.00 for parcels up to 500 grams/1 pound. Shipping and packing via regular mail to these locales is $22.00 for parcels weighing up to 500 grams/1 pound. This service offers no guarantee, insurance or tracking and we then accept no liability for loss or damage. Transit times are unpredictable by this method.
E-Mail Susan if you want a quote for shipping to other destinations, or for something heavy. Sorry, we can't safely send individual small parts in a regular letter envelope, they get destroyed by the automated handling equipment.
We can also ship FedEx or UPS when time or weight is critical, and over-night FedEx P1 shipping is available. Note that our pick-up cut-off time is noon for FedEx. There is a packing charge for large equipment, see the FAQ for details. If we have your valid data on file, you can just click on the ORDER email link to place an order and indicate your approval to bill, and we will do the rest. If this is the first time you have dealt with us, you can phone (250) 769-1834 or FAX +1 (250) 769-4106 the billing info, or send it by the email link, as you prefer.

Through our extensive industry contacts, we have access to large quantities of prime quality electronic surplus material. These parts are current production items, left over when production stops, specific products are discontinued, or lines are closed. Generally, all manufacturing date codes are 2000 or later. We buy from major DOMESTIC sources ONLY (USA and Canada), to control counterfeit parts. NO PARTS are from untraceable foreign brokers, and all have factory batch identification. We have both through hole and surface mount (SMD) material, but all quantities are limited to what is currently shown, when that inventory is exhausted, we normally cannot supply more, unless our supplier just happens to have more stock left.
These are production parts, NOT service parts, and are supplied in large quantities and specific factory packed lots ONLY. We offer small quantities elsewhere on our site for service activities.
All items are supplied prepaid ONLY, by Visa/Master Card, Bank Transfer, Certified Cheque or Paypal, and are non-returnable if original factory packaging is unsealed or opened. We provide a 10 day (after delivery) on site right of return period. You MUST contact us within that 10 period to obtain an RMA number, and arrange for material return if you feel the items are not as represented. Refunds are limited to the material cost only, less all freight costs (both ways). RMA goods must arrive at our site freight prepaid per our instructions to obtain a refund. Traceability is limited to factory lot and distributor tracking data on the packaging, and further certification is normally not possible unless we happened to get it from the seller to us. You should assume all goods are as-is, unused surplus material, certified and traceable only to the extent marked on each individual package.
We visually inspect and (where possible) sample functional test all batches to insure the items are as indicated (maker, part number, value and unused status). We reject all material that is too old, incorrectly marked, of questionable origin or maker, used or badly stored, fraudulently re-packed, or found to be substandard in any way. This is the extent of our local processing. SMD parts are sealed in bags to prevent oxidation, and all parts are kept in temperature controlled, dry storage areas until sold.
RoHS compliance is not generally known on these items, and you should assume nothing is better than RoHS5 category material, not RoHS6, and may contain lead (Pb) in the solder surface plating.
We cannot ship to all countries, for a variety of freight, credit, fraud, security and logistical reasons. Please contact us HERE if you need to know if we can ship to your area.
