content: If I add $5 more stuff to my mouser shopping cart, I get free shipping ($40), and in effect another $40 to spend.But I can't think of anything to add.Can anyone suggest a cool module or IC to grab? I don't mind if it exceeds $40 - I just haven't been keeping up with what's new for the last 6 months.I'm into motion control, cnc pendants, displays. My next build will be a DLP 3d printer (either projector or UV laser + galvo).

content: I get free shipping from Mouser and Digi-Key when the order is > 525 NOK (about $88). UPS takes 2 days (not 5) unless the weekend is in the way.

If you buy on a friday and it's in the afternoon you could get your package 11 days later and they meet their policy. I had never stopped to consider this.
