Any Canadian electronics hobbyists have experience with Digi-Key?

They certainly have a very large selection. But do you get rapped in the ass for shipment? Any other good alternatives if you do?

Shipping is $8 if order is under $200, else free
They charge GST, so there is no brokerage, what you pay them is what you pay, total.

I usually get stuff the next day, sometimes two days.

Nice! Thanks. Do you use them often? I was worried about potential brokerage fees. Was stung by those when I order arcade parts from Suzo-Happ, ouch.
