I tried to order some 2SK1058 on Sept 8th & to avoid the international shipping of $25 was getting them posted to a fellow DIYA inmate for onward postage to me in Ireland.
But they have many security questions to answer when placing an order & didn't like the address of the card holder being different to the delivery address - haven't heard from them since they emailed me about this.
Oh, BTW, not having heard back from Avnet, I cancelled my order. I also noticed that they had sneaked in an extra charge on the order of $20 - don't know what for? - the international shipping charge is $25? 2SK1058 are $5.34 each - I ordered 10 - order total came to $61.40 (shipping to US address + Taxes, I guess?). Looking at the copy of the order they sent me, total is $81.40. I have queried this with them.
All in all not a good experience trying to order through them. Has anybody else had similar experiences?
BTW, I've ordered through Mouser & Digikey with no problems whatsoever!

I just got a reply from Avnet and this is what they said:
As the shipping method I chose was USPS, I find this strange that they don't seem to know their own national postal services charges. Mouser or Digikey don't have this problem. I wasn't notified until now that this extra $20 charge was sitting on my order.
They still didn't say when they were going to authorise/ship the parts (they are ex-stock according to their site) now 8 days after the order was placed.
Has anybody else experienced such a treatment from them?
