dunkemhigh, are you serious? If someone would really be involved in money laundering, he/she would definitely not be placing £10 orders on CPC. He/she would be buying precious metals or other items with high liquidity and would be spending thousands of pounds. From when do I need to get an export license for goods that will be used within Europe?
Simon, almost everything in Farnell cost more than in CPC, some products are almost 5 times more expensive. MOQ are smaller for the same goods in CPC. Some products were (maybe still are, have not checked recently) exclusively sold only in CPC.
langwadt, there are much more clever and safer ways to cash out stolen CC than buying electronics at CPC. Why did you straight away considered there could be some criminal activities involved? What about the presumption of innocence?
Cloud, I do not need to order from export.farnell.com. I can order directly from uk.farnell.com or go to the local distributor. In both cases I will have to pay a huge premium when small orders are placed.
