Leaded solder is easily available from a wide variety of electronics

www.rapidelectronics.co.uk). It's just Maplin that is out of step.

As I said before companies like Rapid have a minimum order value

Rapid don't, and never have. Farnell have been known to waive theirs
if you ask nicely. You may be charged a "handling charge" but there's
no minimum order value for the goods.

Yes - but that's effectively the same thing. Rapid charge a lot for P&P
on small value items. Like 5.50 + vat for a reel of solder.

I also doubt Farnell would waive their charge for a new customer.
