USB Key enclosures

Hi SF,

I’ve been eyeing the USB enclosures from Bud Industries but so far only mouser and digikey seem to sell them. I can certainly order through them but when shipping costs $35 for a $2 part it seems kinda not worth it. I could buy 100 of them to make it worth while but I only need 2-3.

Any chance you could stock these and sell them so I can buy some with all the other gear I need from SF and save shipping?

Thanks but shipping from there is a minimum of $56

Might be worth noting that I’m not in the US

If you post where you are, it might prompt someone who is also there to offer up more useful suggestions.

I’ve used http://www.newageenclosures.com/ before. Maybe they have distribution in not-USA?

I’m based in Oz so they don’t have any local distributors other than mouser and even though they are local they still charge the same shipping cost.

I like newage’s enclosures but minimum order of 250 pieces is a bit beyond me.

so my question remains, is this something that sparkfun can stock and sell in smaller quantities?

Farnell has them, and has free shipping in Australia (even if the stock is overseas):
