- giantg2 2y agoYes, please charge me $6 shipping for my 10 cent resistor.
- Blackthorn 2y agoYeah that's ultimately the downside with online stores. You have to pay the actual price of shipping, or they subsidize it a little bit but not very much. Rip radio shack, but there's probably not enough electronic hobbyists to support that anymore.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoI guess there's more electronics hobbyists than ever. The real problem is that Selling a 10-cent resistor was always a loss leader for a radio shack. When the majority of bigger ticket purchases moved online, the revenue dried up
- Reubachi 2y agothis is the conundrum and isn't the fault of the vendor. It costs that much to ship a part. Amazon has, does, and will always subsidize shipping. What's your idea of a solution? If you need the resistor, and there's no service/parts shop, what do you do? I think the answer of "Pay more for the part in bulk via an online vendor" is ideal. BEcause that online vendor can also send soap, car parts, clothes, and books at the same time.
- giantg2 2y agoEh, you could ship it in an envelope to reduce carrier costs.
