What's Farnell doing now, I have not used them for a little while. Just checked and it looks like free delivery for orders over £20.

Yup, they're generally pretty good. I use them all the time. The only problems can be a) if you use their CPC arm which went through a phase of carelessness with the orders (I'd order one thing and they'd send another) and b) if, for a lightweight order, they send it out by Royal Mail. I ordered a batch of stuff last Saturday and they broke this down into two packages. Both seem to have been dropped into Royal Mail on Monday (first working day). One arrived here on Tuesday (very good !). Heaven knows where the other one is - it didn't come today (Thursday) :-(.

Occasionally I use Mouser for harder-to-find stuff, although I imagine the depressed £/$ ratio will make them less attractive now. They ship from Texas but still seem to get stuff here in under a week and their shipping is free on orders over £33.
