Additional part sourcing thread

[kleedrac]

I'm having a heck of a time sourcing this stuff here in Canada (partially because you can't ship LIon batteries accross the US border.) If any fellow Canadians find better sources please let me know I'll also try to keep this updated with my progress.

You may have some local shops that sell batteries? Electronics stores or hobby/rc stores?

I've bough all my lipo batteries online from BC robotics though. Since i couldn't find any in my city. Reasonable prices. And they have a shipping sale now. 5$...usual is 13$.

They sell lots of other adafruit products as well as pi zero's.

Looks like only one 1200 mah battery left though:

Got mine from eBay. You can find them on amazon/aliexpress/etc too. Or a local shop maybe?

I bought the LiPo for my project off eBay, from a seller in China. They don't have the right battery for the MintyPi project, but there are a bunch of sellers who have the exact cell you need (1200mAh 503562): https://goo.gl/Njqf7E Shipping was a bit slow - around 6 weeks to get here (because Canada customs has a huge backlog from China), but on the plus side, the seller refunded my purchase because it took so long.

Alternatively, as mentioned above, there are a few Canadian on-line shops that sell the battery - BC Robotics, Elmood Electronics, Robotshop, Active Tech... You can find the links on Adafruit's distributors page: https://www.adafruit.com/distributors

If any other Canadians found a source other than eBay/China (i.e. a Canadian supplier) for the 20mm 8Ohm 0.5W speaker - please let me know! It's now exactly 6 weeks since I placed an order for it on eBay, and I'm losing hope

I'm still waiting for mine too, i'm at about the 6 week time now too (ordered june 1st)....Hopefully they actually show up. I haven't been able to find much other than ebay etc...But I wasn't looking too hard.

If you get desperate (like I am starting to) then this seems to fit the bill - though it's significantly more expensive, it does ship via FedEx so I imagine shipping time should be short:

Here's the speakers I bought, shipped from Colorado: http://www.ebay.com/itm/122538065666

I received those in 2 days. I ordered a set from China, on June 1st, and still haven't gotten them.

I saw those. But they are showing $16.50 for shipping to Canada. I wasn't willing to pay that much. Haha.
