\"\"<\/p>\n

Last week, I posted a review of the Digitech AR-1780<\/a>–a compact receiver that is only sold in Jaycar retail stores throughout Australia and New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Since I live in the US, I purchased my AR-1780 via an Australian distributor on eBay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Several SWLing Post<\/em> readers discovered direct orders can be placed with Jaycar, thus taking advantage of Jaycar’s sales.<\/p>\n

A couple weeks ago, Post<\/em> reader, Paul, shared his correspondence with Jaycar where they implied an order could be placed via email directly with a Jaycar representative. I reached out to this representative for clarification because I felt uneasy about even suggesting that readers send credit card information over email. I asked if they had a secure order form. I never heard back from Jaycar and have been too busy to follow-up.<\/p>\n

Turns out, SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Troy Riedel, just placed an order for the AR-1780 via Jaycar and shared the details–all it takes is a phone call. Troy writes:<\/p>\n

I ordered the AR-1780 from Jaycar.<\/p>\n

I contacted them through their web site, exchanged emails with a Customer Service Supervisor and she told me that they actually have a toll-free U.S. number that goes to their Australian call center (staffed during their business hours)! FYI, it’s:<\/p>\n

1-800-784-0263<\/strong><\/p>\n

I got it for $134 AUD or $103.40 USD shipped!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks for sharing, Troy! A great option for ordering Jaycar products in the US.<\/p>\n

If any Post<\/em> readers in Canada have also successfully placed an order through this toll free number, please comment!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
