Wasco doesn't have a minimum charge, but if you are buying solder paste
they require it to be shipped overnight in a refrigerated condition for
a mere $55.95 shipping. (as opposed for $5.95 for regular ground
shipping). For a $15 syringe of paste this doesn't make much sense
financially.

The refrigeration requirement is made so they can ensure the commercial
specs of the product, but as a practical matter for homebrewers the
refrigeration and overnight shipping aren't really required. But I doubt
that they will waive the requirement... The overnight refrigerated
shipping on solder paste would apply to any vendor.

You can order small syringes of solder past from Cash Olson KD5SSJ at
http://www.zianet.com/erg/ShopSolderPaste.html  for $5.63 (shipping
included)

The water soluble flux (@ about $28 per gallon) can be shipped via
regular ground service.
