I was able to order thru the Newark site earlier this morning. Part number is 83T1943. But, as mentioned above, they are adding a $20 handling fee. Arrrgh. Not nice, especially since Neward claims never to add handling fees when ordering online. No mention of shipping costs, either.

Hope that helps some.

I think the shipping costs are related to the fact that initially the product is being shipped direct from China.
