At Farnell, established credit account customers get free
shipping/handling on every order, no matter how small. With a history of
occasional orders in the £300-400 range, discounts up to 10% on those
larger orders are available by phoning your account representative - but
you do have to ask, every time.

All that *and* credit until the 20th of the following month, so a
Farnell credit account is worth angling for.

Like CPC, Farnell are forever offering discount promotions on odd
pretexts like Hallowe'en, end of month or even TGIF, so those too are
worth looking out for. However, I don't recall ever seeing them offer a
shipping/handing discount because many Farnell customers are already not
paying those charges.

I tried one of the Farnel "10% off on Friday" offers.
The magic words were shown on the invoice, but I was charged
the full amount. Couldn't be bothered to complain, but I now
ignore similar offers they mail out from time to time, and
I don't seem to use them very often.
