Been enjoying free p+p with RS Components for a good while now on small orders.
Sadly its come to end now with a £3.95 charge on sub £30 orders.
And I am a trade account holder.
Farnell are worse at £4.99 for sub £40 orders.
CPC are best with free £17.50+ orders.
Been using CPC a few times now as they tend to be cheaper than RS.
4700uf 35v cap £2 at RS, 60p at CPC.
USB B pcb socket £1.30 at RS, £0.25p at CPC.
CPC also do smaller quantities than RS.
I hate buying 10 off when I need just one.
At least comes within a day or two these days.
In the 1980's I had to fill in an order form and post it to Maplin.
Then get the order back about a week later, ta least what they had in stock.

i think mouser is £50? Either way I’ve managed get free shipping and i normally tick the UK stock box so i het the farnell next day too.
I think it was around £33 at Mouser.
I have used Mouser a few times for semiconductors.
Just had a thought and need to check on my next order. With the UK sales/vat is paid on shipping so if it’s free shipping - is that still added to the overall vat?
Maybe they pay shipping but not the VAT of shipping?

In EU both Mouser and Digikey are free shipping above € 50.
I believe CPC = Farnell, no?
Farnell have a warehouse 10 km from where I am ...

That's unlikely, that would be fraud.
VAT has to be charged (and then transferred to the Government) over the total order cost. If, as a seller, you don't include shipping cost in the order you are not allowed to charge VAT on shipping.

You are paying VAT on parts , shipping is free, at least for Mouser UK-UK, sender-receiver.
When ordered and payed last night parts were 40,xx , shipping free, at the last check point they count VAT into the price and then payout via PayPal.
I just had a breef look at the Invoice, total was 46,xx ( 46,50 think ) and this 6 Pounds was declared as VAT.
