[UK-CONTEST] OT.. Component supplier Mouser now in the UK

[David Gould]

This might be of interest to anyone wanting electronic and other 
components.  I have just bought some various ferrite components.

I had heard of Mouser Electronics as a USA supplier and they seem to 
have a good reputation over there.  I stumbled across the fact that 
they now do business, and have an office in the UK,  (as well as many 
other countries) you have a choice of currencies with which to pay, 
and they are happy to do business with individuals as well as companies.

The ferrites I wanted were 1.44GBP compared to 3.12GBP at 
Farnell.  The goods still come from the USA with delivery by FedEX 
(with all duty issues taken care of).  My items came within 3 days 
compared to 1 day with Farnell.  Orders over 50GBP are delivered 
free,   for anything less there is a 12GBP delivery charge.

website..    www.mouser.com  and then click on Change Country in the 
top RH corner to select the UK.

My first order has gone very smoothly so I will look to use them 
again in the future.
