If you buy a few components regularly. Just open an account with RS. You get free postage, no minimum order and 30 days to pay! You pay VAT on the purchase so tax man is not interested.

As Melanie has said they are expensive. But if only ordering a few chips the free postage offsets the cost.

Price aside it’s a great service to order and deliver next day. But I wouldn't want to order 10+ Pic chips from them!
