Parts in North Dakota

[w9gb]

I hear this complaint often, from new residents of the north coast, but I have to laugh.

Digi-Key in Thief River Falls, MN is not that far from Fargo.
In fact, due to UPS and USPS routing changes in past few years ---
ALL of those electronic parts shipments are routed through Fargo, ND !!

Something to consider, next time you see those postings.

You are right Thief River Falls, MN is only 130 miles from me but minimum orders and shipping charges still apply and are high. Sometimes like my last project they will sell 10,000 for a cheap price but won't sell one at any price. As I said home brewing is expensive and frustrating.
