Just another Me Too as well, I asked for 2x2438, 2x2338 and 2x2292 
(not sure which route I wanted to go), and 4 business days later I 
received 2x2338 the same, in static bag, in box, in bubble envelope, 
in fedex envelope, from Honk Kong.  I figured that because I asked 
for too many (even though it clearly says on the website that 6 is 
the "respectable" limit) that they only send me 2.  So I put in a 
request for 2x2438 (can't even buy those locally), but then the next 
day I got another shipment with 2x2292, same packaging, same 
source.  I wonder why they didn't ship them all at the same time?

I also put in a samples request from Atmel (SAM7S series) and got a 
phone call from All American wanting to talk about volumes, etc.  
Philips just sent them without any trouble at all.  Thanks Philips!
