Some time ago I got the following ridiculous message from Maxim about
my sample request:

-------------
        Mark,
        We are having difficulty in shipping samples to South America via
Airmail.
        Shipments either end up lost or returned to us.  If you would like
to provide an acct number, we will be happy to send these via a freight
carrier.

Regards.
Diana Rocha
Maxim/Dallas Samples Lead

        What a ridiculous excuse!
        I tell them Maxim is the only one that have such problems with USPS
AirMail. For more than 13 years I order electronic parts via AirMail with
less than 1% shipping problems.

        Praise to National, who send samples directly via DHL!

        Mark
