componant sources

[plumber]

I am trying to find an on-line source for electronic components, that doesn't mind selling modest amounts of various items for circuitry. In other words small minimum orders with little or no min. order charges. Also timely shipping would be great. You know, those late night ,gotta have soon projects. I really dont need 200 diodes, etc.
Thanks, plumber

It depends on where you live.

Here in the UK, Maplin, RS Components, Farnel and Rapid are the most popular suppliers.

Farnel are good because they don't charge for delivery, even for small orders.

RS also don't charge for the delivery of small orders if you have a credit account with them, otherwise there's a delivery charge for small orders.

Maplin are handy because they have shops in most towns but don't offer a great range and are expensive.

Rapid are the cheapest UK supplier I know of but charge for delivery of orders under £35 excluding VAT.

I mostly use RS and Farnel because they don't charge for delivery of small orders.
