                  All,<br>
                  <br>
                  I received a very self-congratulatory note from Mouser
                  Electronics (in <br>
                  the US) telling me that they are now a fully qualified
                  Essential <br>
                  Service, and can ship from warehouses all around the
                  world. They have an <br>
                  NZ$66 minimum to qualify for free shipping.<br>
                  <br>
                   From what I understand, the local courier service can
                  only accept and <br>
                  deliver orders from Essential Service suppliers.<br>
                  <br>
                  So the obvious question then becomes, if I order from
                  Mouser, will it <br>
                  get delivered anytime soon.<br>
                  <br>
                  Has anyone placed an order in the last week, and how
                  did things proceed ?<br>
                  <br>
                  Thanks, Mark<br>
                  <br>
