Didn't realise Mouser ships from Texas so have avoided the tariffs on Hammond transformers about to come in.

Not so impressed with all the plastic they use for the resistors, etc.

Valve amp building will become that much more expensive gents. These two trannies were about nzd 380.

Now waiting several weeks for AP delivery :(

Yes, and not to mention exchange rate... How much is the tariff?
Wasn't it 20% for Canada? Let us know when you have found a Canadian Hammond reseller with acceptable shipping rates.

I thought 24% but I don't know if that is across the board.

"Pending Border Clearance" is international shipping blueballs.

How long does it take your packages to get past this interminable stage?

I've had some get through in less than 24 hours. Others have been over a week.

My last international package was about 4 days in customs.

in the mail for me - a set of new, high quality record inner and outer sleeves and a record cleaning kit. going to clean the second hand records and replace old dusty and missing sleeves with new. I was going to buy (probably) the same shit from aliexpress, but decided to support local and paid a bit more to buy from Real Groovy.
