Here's why I ask... Ordered 2 semiconductors ($25 total). They shipped out of SC, and I am in Austin, TX. Since I didn't see shipping charges on the website, I called and was told that UPS ~= $4-$5 (actual after weighed). Plus insurance. But UPS automatically insures to $100 at no add'l cost, so they said I won't get charged insurance then. That's all the charges I was told. Just got the order and was charged 11% sales tax (max in SC is 7%, Austin = 8.25%). I was charged 2.37 for insurance. Anyone run into this? This is fraudulent if they don't disclose first. If they do have a presence in TX, they should state up front that I would need to pay tax. Yes, it's a few $, but I should not be charged anything which was not disclosed up front and I will need to place regular small orders, so these will add up. And they shipped it 4 days later, so it's not like I got it very fast. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pic Dude" To: Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 11:01 AM Subject: [OT]: Anyone order from Newark Electronics? Wondering if anyone here has ordered from Newark Electronics before and care to comment on their dealings/shipping charges. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
