Any suggestions on buying lots of cheap random electronic parts for projects and avoiding racking up shipping costs from ordering from multiple sites? E.g. I had to order ~20 different cheap parts (boost converter, charge controller, micro switches, a cheap devboard, USB breakouts, etc) for a personal hobby project recently. I used Amazon unfortunately. Curious about good alternatives for this kind of stuff.
Same boat, somewhat. I keep a digikey cart and when it gets big enough, I’ll order there. There’s also digikey marketplace but the shipping costs aren’t great. I need to start comparing prices on Newegg and Mouser to Amazon.
The Amazon shit is sketchy but it’s cheap and fast for things like interconnects, boost modules, i2c boarded sensors, etc.
Just aliexpress has all the same stuff cheaper but when you need a widget by the weekend, it doesn’t work.

Maybe Digikey or Mouser. They have large selections of specialized electronics and good search interfaces.
