That could be, but every order of mine (10-12) has, and always has, shipped from Thailand.
I'd love the USA warehouse to be the one, but for the past 6 years, all Thailand, FWIW.

Hi Daniel -?

Like many of us, I'm often on the lookout for good deals on parts, and even not so great deals if it's a much sought-after part that is hard to find. However, I'm beginning to question the wisdom of not always putting quality first with some of my previous purchases. I have a small stash of NPO's here (I do like the older big disc ceramic NPO's with stout leads and the black band across the top!) However, going forward, I plan to begin building up my stock of NPO/C0G caps from Mouser. I have confidence in the quality of their parts. For example, 270pF C0G MLCC's made by TDK are $0.21 apiece, but drop to $0.129 if you buy 10. If you're feeling ambitious and want to buy 100, the price drops even more, to $0.086 apiece - that's just $8.60 for 100 quality C0G caps. Sure, you might get NPO's cheaper somewhere else, but can you be sure of the quality? I imagine DigiKey have similar prices; it's just that Mouser is my main supplier of choice, with Tayda second, and other suppliers on a very occasional basis, as needs dictate. Dan's is fun to order from, for that "1970's ad in a magazine mail order" experience. You write or type out your order on a piece of paper, mail it to him with a check - and wait for a couple of weeks. It's just like being a kid all over again!
