Are 14M and 8M SMT chips available in USA?

Can not find any - sent technical a PM asking question.

You should check their web sites, but I doubt any have these items.

The best source is probably

Yep ... I just got chips from you and you did not have the SMT versions. They show them on their site ... postage is not affordable.

@Rex.

I've just "pretended" to be a US customer,
with an order < £10.

The postage rate, from my point of view,
looks very reasonable for > 3000 miles.

Might it be worth your while
"playing" with order sizes on the
"shop" site?

Yes ... that is much better. I tried that and wanted about 20 chips but the shipping was over $30 for mail!

I shall try again and thank you.

I wonder why they charge VAT???

There is no VAT for the US.

I agree that $30 seems a lot. But, keeping things in perspective, that might average to $1.50 per device. Added to say $3.50 for the device, this is $5.00 which still is a pretty good bargain.
