Did you know Digikey offers free shipping?

Random ubertip of the day:

http://dkc1.digikey.com/us/en/mkt/Terms.html

6.  Shipping Charges.  Except as otherwise provided on the Site, (1) shipping or freight charges and insurance will be paid by the customer*, (2) all sales are made FOB Digi-Key's warehouse in Thief River Falls, MN, USA, and (3) shipping or freight charges from Digi-Key's warehouse in Thief River Falls, MN, USA are prepaid and added to the invoice, billed collect or billed to a third party.  Shipping Cost Estimator

* When a check or money order accompanies your order, Digi-Key pays all shipping and insurance (our choice for method of shipping) to all addresses in the U.S. and Canada.

Just mail a check, the order is free!  Does that make sense?  I don't care if it makes sense, I can tell you it's true.  Not a typo.

In fact we bought a pair of 12v 20AH lead acid batts from them, at about 20 lbs apiece.  They WAIVED THE SHIPPING on 40 lbs of lead because we sent a check.  Boy that one worked out!

What's a check?

It's a funny paper square your parents filled out and signed to pay for
things. Or grandparents.

Now somebody explain this "Three Seashells" thing to me. I just don't
get the modern era.
