:D You guys! :D I wish I could make all decisions so easily.

Obviously we need to keep USPS going. Thank you all very much for the feedback!

You can always have an option for domestic shipping for USPS...personally I like USPS over UPS and I also experienced that they are quite fast and reliable - always leave a note if I'm not home..

Is there a reason that digikey and newark can do $8 CDN flat fee shipping to all of Canada, from their US warehouse, with a max of 2 days delivery time, and you guys can't? Is it because of their large amount of shipments?

Keep up the good work! :)

Grecko: Digikey ships from in Canada - that's why checking their stocks and prices will vary depending on how you have your cart set up. The first time that I ordered from Digikey, I mistakingly had it set up using the US pricing and availability - a few mins after placing the order I got a call from a sales person at Digikey to see if I really meant to not use the Canadian service since the shipping would be much more expensive and I'd have to pay duties separately.
