Look for a supplier ,on ebay from china,most offer a free economy
shipping.
I read the Chineese Govt is smart enough to allow super cheap
shipping ,by putting mail on US bound ships,flights,etc. to allow
exports to go out with out a customer worring about excess costs.
You think our Govt.,would do this to try to get US made goods out
,and increase jobs,& commerce.
The china made components are so cheap,I usuall buy 10.00 worth,and
have spares,as I have found brand new ones that did not work
either.

Our
company buys items from China fairly often and the shipping is always
amazing.? For a current customer project I need some high current solid
state relays.? In the USA a 40 Amp relay is around $47 each plus
shipping.? I ordered ten of them from the factory* and the total WITH FedEx
Priority shipping is about $75.
One thing you have to watch for is
holidays, they tend to shut everything down for major holidays.? In theory
they got my package out before leaving for New Years...I have a FedEx tracking
number and hope FedEx in China doesn't shut down until after the box has left
the country.
