In the UK, RS* and Farnell have most things
Welcome to rswww.com
Farnell United Kingdom | world-leading distributor of electronic and maintenance, repair and operations products.
They are big companies who supply mostly to industry.
In some respects their prices are rather high, but the quality is good and you get exactly what you order.
I dont want to have to buy every component type in dozens or hundreds. Ideally, the store could receive my component list and make a quote... (am I too optimistic?)
In the case of RS and Farnell, yes you are. Unless of course you are ordering in the £1000s.
For some things they do have minimum order quantities.
For example I recently bought:
2w resistors Minimum Order Quantity = 10
Small capacitors MOQ = 5
This MOQ is for each item, so it was 10off 1k, 10off 15k, 10off 33k. You get the idea.
* In the UK, RS is RS Components and has nothing to do with the American company Radio Shack.
For those old enough to remember, RS was originally called Radio Spares because most of their stuff was just that, spares for radios and televisions.
