Post by thread:[PICLIST] [EE}: Any Canadians order from Olimex

I was wondering if any piclisters in Canada have ordered from Olimex in Bulgaria. Olimex shipped a small order for me on Mar. 21 and I haven't got it yet. I wouldn't put it past Canada Customs to freak at electronic devices arriving from Bulgaria; anyone have any experience?

I'm not in Canada (US), but my last order from Olimex was shipped March 1 and arrived the first week of April. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.

Thanks Brandon. I guess I'll just not worry for a couple of weeks then. Colin > I was wondering if any piclisters in Canada have ordered from Olimex in > Bulgaria.

No problem getting PCBs from them to the Netherlands, but that was only a small letter (one PCB in 9 pieces). BTW my last package from DigiKey was opened by the Dutch customs...

Hi- I am contemplating ordering something from them, nut they asked for my credit card number, expiry date AND the code on the back of the card -- I think this is excessive -- any of you guys have any concerns?

No, I have done lots of business with Olimex and have been well pleased. Many mercant banks now want you to get the fraud code. Digikey wants gets it and so do we. You'll see this more and more often. Al Williams AWC * Easy RS-232 Prototyping http://www.al-williams.com/awce/rs1.htm > {Original Message removed}

Well I guess it means that you have to have the card in your possession, and not reading the numbers of a slip you have picked out the rubbish somewhere... :) -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
