I am not much help with that. One thing I know. is BECARFULL buying from
Digi Key

I am in australia and they charged me $87US($120AUD) for a Digi Key card
board Box. the parts where around $30US.

I have gotten things from the US in the post for *** loads cheaper airfare
than that. Digi key did end up giving me half the shipping cost back,
after trying to rip me off. so in the end I still paid $45US for a card
board box. legal scammers. Basically they sell card board boxes and throw
in a few electronic components. But that might only be if you live in an
other country. maybe they have a mentality of 'screw people in other
countries besides the USA'

anyway....be carefull
