"|" next to it correct? Or your a vet at this and you just know, is there anything else that makes themselves know? Any features on the small stuff, lettering, codes, numbers etc?

Again apologies if I've missed it, or maybe I need to be redirected to another site, thread.

Thanks for you continued patience.

P.s. would you accept international shipments (that's if I ever get enough) ?

The capacitor can say many different things - but, majority indicates a Postive + Sign.

We do accept international shipments with absolutely no problem

Will update post in a few days.

You have indicated that the parcel is .78/Lb of Tantalum Capacitors - We indicated that we have not received it yet and that USPS indicates that they have put it in our mailbox, We do not have a mailbox. If you would like we will pay your invoice while USPS looks for the package. It is really not a major issue for us, I am quite surprised that we are causing you frustrations as I personally am answering you on the emails. If you would like please call me directly 800-805-9150 - I am available today as well.

I have these really tiny capacitors and trying to get a good clear pic is not going well on my phone. These are about as wide as pencil lead and have close to the same color as pencil lead. Are these also the type you are looking for? I have been pulling them off and putting then in a container, but wanna make sure before I get to many and they not be correct,

Thanks
Tim

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.

This board is covered with Tantalum SMD Capacitors and MLCC Capacitors - But the two Epoxy that you are seeing on the board are actually not Tantalum Capacitors.

Tantapak Capacitors -- $30/Lb
