Tempco Resistors

[pharding at mail.ndirect.co.uk]

I've ordered tempco's from Farnell before on my Visa card,you don't 
need a trade account but there is a minimum order charge of about 10 
UKP.
In the UK the mail order division of RS Components [not radio shack!] 
is called Electromail and they too do mail order.
 All of these companies will export but then the carriage my be more 
than the components! With any of these companies the thing to 
remember is that they are used to dealing with large account 
customers,to place an order with Electromail you need to give them a 
Purchase Order number...I always give em today's date or invent a 
fictitious one.they are quite happy to do this,it's simply that their 
computer wont let them complete an order without an order number.....
typical eh?
