Holy smokes, Mouser is crazy expensive.

I just placed an order from Mouser and their prices have become ridiculous. For instance a switch I purchased last Nov. for $25 is now $45 plus It appears their stock has diminished. I read a thread regarding Kobiconn terminal strips and they no longer carry them, I have 2 FPE top plates to add a pair of SITUBES DPM'S to my Fi 2a3 stereo amp I'll probably need some strips(I've been putting it off but winter is coming) I have a stash of strips but inevitably not what I'll need. Maybe I will get lucky. They used to send my orders 2 day air UPS for the same price as UPS ground, no more. Sorry for my rant, has anybody experienced this?

Everything is more expensive and then taxes and shipping make start thinking twice if buy it or not.

You might be able to (nicely) talk Eileen into selling you some strips.  I found a company overseas that is making them for us to our specs and they are a nice substitute for the previous Kobiconn parts.

Thanks PB, I'll have to review my fpe files and see if I need any, I also have a stash just have to find them. And if I need to I'll throw myself to Queens mercy.
Thanks.

Got the surprise of my life today. My Mouser order should arrive in 2 days, I decided to change the circuit to use a 4p3t rotary switch instead of adding a second 4pdt that I ordered and contacted Mouser on how to return that switch and the nice nice lady told me no need to return just keep it and we will refund the amount ($45) I was shocked! So I  started another cart. I've used Mouser for almost 20 years and have been very happy with their selection but they don't have the best prices always, after today my faith is now restored!!!!!!!!!!
