I registered on Digikey's website yesterday. I send them an email
enquiring about shipping costs to OZ and see what happens.

I just ordered some chips from Future CA and got a shock to get
a US$107.90 delivery charge. I only paid US$30.00 last time in
August and US$60.00 from Arrow in the states. I send them a little
complain note but I will just have to wear it. X;{

There must be cheaper ways of getting the stuff here, not necessarily
3 days delivery but a week or 2 would be OK.

@Russell

Insight and Memec are the same company (Now belonging to Avnet).
I bought chips from them in March from the Sydney's office.
They don't keep the 8515 in stock so there will be a MOQ and
lots of waiting.
Also they bumped up their prices by more than 50% since March.
I bought M8 for $2.42 in tube qty now they want $3.80.

May try partners IC. I got a call from them a few days ago.
