Will update post in a few days.

Thank you very much for sending us this package, But we did not receive your envelope containing (as we indicated previously) tracking information indicates it was delivered to mailbox at our zipcode - but we do not have a mailbox we are a factory.



Nonetheless we have processed payment for .78/Lb of Tantalum Capacitors, The funds transferred this morning were $19.50 USD

Please confirm that you have received funds requested.

It depends on the type of products you are processing, If you are obtaining Telecom boards then yes it is absolutely worth it. If you are processing regular Desktops and CRT Boards then it is not worth it.

Telecom, Hard Drives, Medical, Military, Oil & Gas, Aerospace more complicated heavy duty electronics is where you will find the highest amounts of Tantalum Capacitors on the boards.

Actually I'm incredibly impressed that they paid you without receiving the product. As you said before in this thread, you believe it is not TantalumRecycling's fault the package was lost. Many companies would ask you to sort it out with USPS or ask that you file an insurance claim for lost product. MOST companies would not pay for material they did not receive.

I have done business with this company and would highly recommend them. I don't see the problem in their response to you and I feel that your reaction was uncalled for especially after you received prompt payment for product they did not receive, but that's my opinion.
