content: Quote from: testpoint on July 08, 2017, 01:55:03 amI just searched on Chemtronics. Its website gives no mention of "closing." Please provide a link to that news. Am I suspicious?JohnEDIT: Here's a link to Bloomberg:https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=30566121A search on "soder-wick" (note correct spelling) + "discontinued" gave no relevant hits.

content: He never said Chemtronics closed. More likely it was a factory that closed after they had ordered some Chemtronics braid and he's clearing stock.Also, solder is the correct spelling in the UK at least. I think it's even spelled that way in countries where it's pronounced "sodder".

content: Not sure how other contries does this, but for Norway, the price for goods AND shipping need to below 350NOK (which is about $44 now), if it's above that, we need to pay 25% tax, and then one need to pay a handling fee which is about $20.The packages you sell now with 3 in each is below this amount so for me it's no problem, but how this is calculated in other contries I don't know.When I bought the package of 6, I got lucky I think, since it was not stopped in customs
