It's only £3.95 for orders under £30. More if you do not register an account with them I believe. And for that you get next day DHL delivery, something you don't get with the others.

Farnell didn't want to give me a trade account for some reason despite giving them a company number - and so their rate is £9.95 under £20 and £6.95 under £40 - quite a bit more. And if it's from the US thay slap on a large extra (think something like £15.95). So I avoid them, and go with DigiKey if RS don't have what I need.

Even Cricklewood charge £3.50 for under £30.
