What's interesting is that staff and students of appropriate HE institutions
can also get the discount for personal purchases (over 20 pounds value,
ordered online, free postage). You just ring them up and give them an
academic email address and they register you. First order must go to your
home address, then they ship elsewhere.


Yep, discovered this accidentally a couple of years back when I ordered
something from CPC.

I have a credit card registered at my work address so I can get stuff
delivered there without hassle (from the supplier anyway...). I placed the
order, then got a phonecall a few mins later saying they would have to
cancel the order as it was an educational address but it was ok, they had
created me a onecall account and reordered there. They sorted it all.

Used them quite a few times since. Excellent
