More fun and games with the United States Postal Service...
So the JFETs have been going out from the main Post Office. Only one problem that I know of and it was quickly taken care of--the guy reported that the parts arrived okay. Today I go to a different Post Office.
The woman behind the counter (no, not the "locked box" woman, she's downtown--this was another woman) gives me this Look. You know, the kind of Look you get when you're Up To Something. She says suspiciously,"There's something in here. It's thick!."
I--being a master of restraint--do not reply,"Well, duh sweetheart! Did you think people came here to mail empty envelopes?" No, I held my tongue. Bit down good and hard. Got the bloody marks to show for it.
"There's a surcharge for that, you know," she adds nastily.
I told her that scads of these things had been mailed out at the big PO downtown without a surcharge, but she starts in with that It's The Rule attitude. If it's thick it's got to be stamped by hand, and that costs extra.
Harrumph!
The USPS is going to drive me bonkers.

Dear Grey, I could eventually handle the Jfets for Europe, I have time enough during this period and a PayPal account, but....
I'm really concerned about the postal service in Italy: not 100% reliable and often quite slow.
I don't know if our anxious friends DIYers will be satisfied if an envelope takes two weeks to arrive, let's say, in Germany or Croatia.

Ok, referring to the wiki, there are at least 40 people from Europe who want them JFETs. This would probably make 2000 parts. That's 50 JFETs per person. Most likely noone needs that many, and Grey said that anyone wanting more than 50 matched devices needs his head examined. But people will surely "sell" parts to their friends, so let's stick with 50.
Now it would be interesting to know how many devices have already been spread across Europe by Dave (dhole) to determine the amount of devices still needed.
But I think 2000 can't be too wrong, considering that there's the possibility of matching (some, not all) parts and sending parts to some exotic places as well.
I would love to step forward to handle Europe, I'd even love to offer some matched devices, but I still go to university. This of course means that I've got "plenty" of time and that I'm always short of money. 2000 JFETs 'd be around 2500USD, keep that in mind.
If there is a solution to this
problem, I could handle Europe.
Ideas welcome.
Austria is quite in the middle of the old continent and our postal service is reliable. Don't mind my english.

final deadline is not an issue,if you ask me
reliability of postal service is another side of story.....
After a bit consideration:
I could easily handle the EU and overseas leg of this GB. All I want to know is how many devices are needed?? I dont have so many "but"s and "if"s. I will post excact prices when/if I know more. I am having DHL and UPS comming by, on a day by day basis, so passing them on wouldnt be too much trouble.(I hope to get my company's good prices)
If everyone are confident with having me handling this matter, please post here As I said, I would need to have an approximate figure for the devices needed. Well, I wouldnt go out and buy 2000 and sell like1000 (I have my own from Grey allready)
Just an offer from a volunteer
Okay, one little "but" anyway, If you sign up, I expect you to buy them
Ps. I could also take care of orders from obscure countries outside the EU if needed That should make everyone happy I guess??
