(OP)
Hello

I have been given some orders for various electronics. (LED displays, intercoms etc) I am living in Hayes,London, UK and wish to locate an electronics hardware shop that sells IC’s, transistors etc. I doubt I will be able to order from RS as I am not a public listed company.
I am wondering if these sort of shops exist any more. They certainly used to.
-Very grateful if any reader knows of such  a shop in Hayes/West London.

RE: electronics hsops

I'm pretty sure RS will accept credit card orders, otherwise just go to the trade counter.

If we learn from our mistakes I'm getting a great education!

RE: electronics hsops

Have you tried online at www.digikey.com ?

RE: electronics hsops

Last time I used RS for a personal purchase their trade counter wanted cash only if I did not have an account.
Cash almost always works first time.

RE: electronics hsops

Use Farnell. They are not as fussy as RS.

RE: electronics hsops

Here's a link to a list some of UK suppliers - mainly for the homebuild ham radio folk but always cheaper than RS.

The small print says list created in 1996, but updated frequently...
