[sdiy] message for canucks

[Dave Leith]

I haven't ordered within the last couple of months but the last time
Fedex added a surprise 10$ ROD fee to the published flat rate. Never
had it on any other shipment from Fedex or anyone else. I'm curious as
to what actually happens with shipping costs, brokerage and duty.
Mouser has great range of stock, but up till now the extra costs were
way out of line compared to Digikey, Allied or Newark  so I avoided
them.

In Vancouver BC
