Sent off an order to oncall just after 6pm yesterday (25th Jan) and the 3 stepper motors, SD card, a USB charger plug and 5 leads have all arrived before midday today (26th jan).

Now that is impressive I'd say.

Possibly it is if it contained no lithium batteries or aerosols.

In years past Farnell (as in Farnell not CPC) iirc used to have a 7pm cutoff for
next day delivery, RS were 8pm and in the case of Farnell that included items
being delivered from their Liege warehouse.

More recently a Farnell order placed Thursday around 10am was despatched at
something like 1am Saturday and actually delivered late on Monday morning
despite all lines being from stock held in the UK. Fecking useless for what
was going to be a weekend job. But that's (now) Swiss efficiency for you.
