If you are going to order a single capacitor, there probably isn't a better
choice, unless speed is more important to you than price.  radioshack.com
has about the best deal around for shipping price for very small orders.

Depending on where you are, likely you can have your cap in your hand a lot
quicker by ordering from DigiKey.  However, by the time you get done, it
will probably be a $30 cap.  DigiKey has a premium on orders under $25 plus
their shipping is at UPS rates which is a minimum of around $10 depending on
your location.

Interestingly, if you are ordering a whole bunch of stuff, radioshack.com
often becomes more expensive than DigiKey because of their shipping.  But
for a tiny order, rs is tough to beat.

In my experience, it takes about 10 days for something to arrive from rs, 2
from DigiKey.  Of course, this will likely be location dependent. If you're
in Dallas, you may see just the opposite.

If not, where can I locate a 120 pF capacitor? Is ordering from
Radioshack.com my only choice or is there a better
source?
