    I know, I always end up ordering more than I need with them just to help justify the shipping.

    I have found a few places to order components but digikey I try to stay away from. Allied Electronics does pretty well, but sometimes they are the same way, I end up having to talk to my area manager and ask him to mail them to me vs the store lol.

    Mouser is another solid vendor, but shipping still stings. I understand the problem heck even places like Allied are going to tag you for something. Just that the amount I am wanting to order is not enough to make the shipping an easy pill to swallow :)

    I always try to shop in a brick-and-mortar store (Fry's) but since they fail in this regard I'll turn to Adafruit, Digikey but I shy away from Amazon because it's a box of chocolates, basically (/ForrestGump). If I need one connector I just order ten and then just camp out on their store and imagine things I'll need in the future and order that, too. (Just got my digikey order in yesterday.)

    Jameco doesn't have any of those particular connectors anyway, just go straight to their site if you want to search their catalog.
