I know it's too much to ask for, but still...
Do any of you order stuff from Digikey USA regularly? If so, would you be so kind as to add a couple of these connectors to your order and send them back to me? I need them for something I'm working on, and I can't find them anywhere else (*). I'd pay for everything, of course.
The thing is, I'm going to order *a ton* of things for several projects on Digikey Europe (so that I qualify for free shipping), but those pesky connectors are sold in the US site only. If I were to order everything there, I'd have to pay import taxes, and if I ordered the connectors only, I'd have to pay taxes *and* shipping. In any case, that's money that could've been used to pay for the stuff.
You may have noticed already, but I'm chronically short of money at the moment .
If someone agreed to go through all the hassle and send the connectors to me, I really wouldn't know how to repay the favor, but I'm sure we could work something out. You'd have my eternal gratitude, that's for sure .
(*) Mouser do have them, but they don't have all the parts I need (namely, this FPGA). I'm mostly building other people's schematics, so I'd rather not use different parts until I have some boards working.
Stuff only in Digikey USA, can't afford shipping

I order from Digi-Key quite often, so I'll be able to get those for you.

I can do it. How many of each do you need? And while we're at it, is there anything else from the US that you might want?mnkman wrote:I know it's too much to ask for, but still...

Really? Thanks a lot!Nevermind1534 wrote:I order from Digi-Key quite often, so I'll be able to get those for you.
Five of each should be enough. I don't really need that many, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.Nevermind1534 wrote:How many of each do you need?
I don't think so, no. Damn connectors, so hard to find!Nevermind1534 wrote:And while we're at it, is there anything else from the US that you might want?
Thanks again!

I thought I put the second one in a PM. I'll let you know when my order gets in. I'll just need your address.mnkman wrote:Really? Thanks a lot!Nevermind1534 wrote:I order from Digi-Key quite often, so I'll be able to get those for you.

Bumping this in case somebody else has to order stuff from Digikey and is not very much inconvenienced for sending (a very small amount of) stuff to Europe.
Also, I can't stress this enough: I'm paying everything upfront.
Thanks.
