Source request and a complaint

1/22/2000 5:04 PM
Mark Hammer	Source request and a complaint So, I am about to make my first e-purchase from Radio Shack/Tech America, and when I get to the last step, I find out that they don't sell to Canada. I phone the 1-800 number in the hopes I can request the parts and TELL them my address and VISA number. Lo and behold, they don't sell to Canada over the phone either. They just don't sell to Canada, period. Radio Shack Canada and Radio Shack/Tech America are two entirely different companies apparently, so I can't order from one through the other. To quote Andy Kaufman, "You stoopeed!! Everybody stoopeed!!". If this is the future, give me the past. Anyways, does somebody know of an outlet where I can get J201's and/or a Holtek HT8955 delay chip? RS/TA has the latter for $5. I know of no outlets in Canada that sell either.
