p.s. Was it you who mentioned the Farnell happy hour (or whatever it
was) when they did free postage or no minimum order etc?

All these places are doing it at some time. The recession bites...

I did a Farnell order quite recently; no min order and no shipping charge
for about 15 quid worth of parts.

If you've registered with them, or RS, CPC, Rapid, etc, as you usually
have to to buy from them and not stopped them sending you emails of
offers, they'll tell you when a post free offer comes up. CPC is worth
getting those daily emails from if you don't mind that sort of thing.

CPC seem to be doing the 'free shipping on orders over £20' every weekend
now.


Scraped in there then - yesterdays order was just shy of £400, and not a
single xmas item ordered either
