I would add Allied
www.alliedelec.com
to that list -- their "break point"
for shipping is $25, they will ship via USPS Priority Mail (which is very
quick anyway). At any rate, who doesn't have a soft-spot in their heart for
old Allied with their Knight Kits from 4 decades ago!

I wouldn't be surprised. Radio Shack's only advantage, IMO, is they're
handy. If you don't mind mail order, you can get equal or better parts
and FAR better selection from Mouser or Digi-Key, and probably spend
less overall even when shipping is included. Get a catalog and give 'em
a try.
