    I sometimes feel for Ed at GPE. He has to shut down his store from time to time to catch up and have a quiet holiday with his family. It can be frustrating for some of us but I have always had great service from him. His advice and answers to my questions have always been appreciated.

    Quoted from G-P-E:

    Anybody ever notice the kinked legs on the axial electrolytic capacitors?
    For small orders, I always kink the legs for cement resistors and anything larger than the smaller size electrolytic caps.
    (That one 18000 in the bottom corner is bent due to shipping)
    After shipping tons of orders - electrolytic caps have been my only complaint. If I don't kink the legs - at least one of the legs will inevitably poke out through the bag and out through the corner of the box.
    I normally kink the cement resistors as well. Look at his 0.4 ohm resistors - you can tell I must have been in a hurry and didn't kink the legs... and you can see leads sticking out through the side of the bag.

    That's intresting you pack em up but never see how they arrive, good observations. I would think you take extra care with Chris.

    Ed,
    I tend to keep a running shopping cart until I have enough to justify an order. That doesn't seem to work when you shut down. I am mostly wanting to store my want list through your site.......
