I think the problem that Paul has is with the US Post Office. Mouser ships
UPS, Fed Ex, and other private shipping companies in the US. The heat sink
will last forever, but is kind of expensive. I think my 2 oz. tube (which
will last longer than my life for how I use it) was about $10(?), but the
tiny Radio Shack tubes are around $3(?). If the only thing you are buying it
for is MOTM VCOs (and the like) you may want to start with the tiny tube, and
if you run out in a year or two by the bigger (and much better value) 2 oz.
tube.
