How to get some free parts from Digi-Key!
« on: December 13, 2009, 11:30:32 PM »
SoR members, we have a great opportunity to score some free NEW electronic parts.  There are 2 great ways on Twitter to do this right now!
1)Follow http://twitter.com/digikey on Mondays and Thursdays.  There are prizes for solving really simple puzzles.

2)Tweet your wish list of part numbers valued up to $100, and you can win your list for Christmas.  A new entry each day increases your chances.http://dkc1.digikey.com/us/en/PH/mkt/digiwish.html

Come back to the SoR forum to share what you win!

Also, a quick insider not to get free shipping on your Digi-Key orders...

The Digi-Key website http://dkc1.digikey.com/us/en/mkt/Terms.html#Shipchg tells how to get free shipping, "When a check or money order accompanies your order, Digi-Key pays all shipping and insurance (our choice for method of shipping) to all addresses in the USA and Canada. Shipments of excessive weight or size may require additional charges. Digi-Key will notify you prior to shipment if these conditions exist." 

Mailing in your payment may take longer, but your shipping is free.  What's the rush, really?

Well, shucks. I swore I would never have a Twitter account, but now this has forced my hand.

2 years in a row!?!  Congrats! 

I don't know how you can be suprised with what you'll get.  Oh, you must have written a program to randomly select parts that are less than the limit and submit tweets for you, right?  ;D

Of course not  ;)

Actually, every day I entered I chose from whatever i felt like wanting.. so its going to be a parallax propeller, fluke IR gun, an IR touchscreen, STK500, or a fiber optic dev kit. Should be fun waiting to see which one it is  :D
