I purchased a Kessler/Palstar AT-AUTO automatic antenna tuner from Doug Benedict, WD9GMG. Everything went as smoothly as could be. The item shipped on the 27th and arrived in its original packaging on the 29th. Outstanding. All accessories, manuals, and cables were included. The item looks great. I ...

I purchased an amplifier interface cable from W1JHU, Al Reeves, and even though it was a relatively inexpensive item, I was treated to outstanding communication, and extremely expeditious shipping and delivery.

I think the point the OP was trying to make is that he's done business with Mouser for many years and they just recently dropped First Class mail as a shipping option.

Model transaction with this gentlemen, Tom! Items were well packed and exactly as described in his ad. We had a very pleasant chat on the telephone before closing the deal.
