[time-nuts] OT: DC-DC switching regulators

[Peter Bell]

Where did you get this idea from?  Not only is shipping not free, but the
"official" carrier (China Post) is quite expensive - to the point where
many people will either use private couriers (for Chinese internal
shipments) or will courier things to HK and send them via HK post (for
international shipments).  In the latter case, there are quite a few
companies that do this as a service - they will take a truck full of
packages over to HK and post them for you for a small markup on the HK post
rates - which still end up being substantially cheaper than the Chinese
ones (and, for surface shipments, a lot quicker too).
