I dont think my eyes were playing tricks BUT .... Noo I didn't mess with the basket at the last minute As I said determining what account you have is apparently difficult BUT being offered the opportunity to pay with a numbered trade account might be indicative, do you get that ? |

It's now much worse, small order charge of £9.95 applied to all orders under £40.00 ex VAT! They can do one! |

I have stopped using Farnell now due to the high handling charge. I sometimes needed specialist parts that they stocked and do not mind a reasonable handling charge on a small order. Almost £10 for an order under £20 seemed a bit steep though. Farnell have clearly decided that they have had enough of smaller orders and that is their right. It just means I cannot justify buying some lower cost items from them, like FPC connectors etc. Fraser |
