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.

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

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.

Use Farnell. They are not as fussy as RS.

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