Is customs covered by Arrow? In other words: will you not be charged later with customs (fair enough) and more than the order amount of handling fees by the carrier? (robbery).
Canadians should note that Arrow doesn’t cover customs like Digikey and Mouser. Anything over $20 CAD will come with courier fees. The only way to get around this is by finding a combination of items over $20 USD that ship separately from US/EU warehouses so neither shipment is over $20 CAD.
I went through two orders with Arrow and bought two types of 5000K 90 CRI LH351D leds. It seems that I got free shipping, could pay with Paypal, and they charged tax for me. So it all sounds good sofar, my worry is still that the carrier seems DHL and my experience with them is not good.
I posted this up late last night and came back tonight and everyone seems to be getting in on this deal some way or another.
I appreciate all the thank you’s and I knew I couldn’t just not tell anyone about what “LED for 74 Cents with Free Shipping” :money_mouth_face:
Glad to have helped
They both are in the P2 bin with 70CRI. I looked at the datasheet and Arrow’s description. I couldn’t find a difference but I’m sure there has to be some difference besides just price. LED lottery I guess .
The difference is the binning. By my read, both are binned into rather large regions, so any given emitter from either order code could be very close to the BBL or pretty far from it. Similarly, any given emitter could be very close to 4000K, or it could be very close to either 4250K or 3750K.
From what I gathered they are both in the same 5A,5B,5C,5D region from the graphs at the bottom of the datasheet. I thought both were 5-step also. I tried looking to see if I could find something that may have stated one was a 3-step and that would be the difference but I didn’t find it. So I’m not sure of the difference.
Canadians, with respect to my previous comment, the free shipping promo has no minimum, but you’ll want to be very careful any shipment is under $20 CAD.
