ever get one of those moments that you just stop, stare, and shake your head? well i was ordering a part from Lingenfelter this morning, its a diode that shields my 2-step from ambient voltage from a line-lock, trans brake, or anything else that uses a strong solenoid. Most of yall know that a diode is the size of a grain of rice and weighs a few grams.
the part is 4.95 from Lingenfelter, the cheapest shipping they have is $11.95 For a part that fits in an envelope and could be mailed for a normal stamp.
WTF is the world coming to?

Fry's electronics? There is one near you, I usually go to that for small electronics rather than order for that exact reason. Shipping is pretty much insane on any small part lol, makes no sense.

Oh i assure you guys, i did not order it lol. I really know nothing about diodes other than what they do, and i know 5 bucks isnt a bad price so i figured id order Lingenfelters because its the exact one i need, but not for 12 bucks shipping.
If anbody can give me the five minute Diode 101 id appreciate it LMAO
