Electronic component stores

[Btuckey]

Are there any 'chains' of electronic component suppliers like Maplins in France?  I usually use Farnell but need something quickly without paying more for the postage than the component!

Cheers

ps. Thought this would be a better place to post than 'Shopping'...

[quote user="NormanH"]Radiospares ?[/quote]Bit behind the times there Norman [;-)]

Radiospares are now called RS Components and ceased supplying non commercial customers some time ago.

They do have French presence however the same restriction applies.

What is it you want Btuckey ?

RS is Radiospares in France;

Conrad are good but min €25 spend or else postage is high

Hi Clair,

Thanks for the suggestion, but Conrad too is a mail order emporium.  As Pierre remarked their mail charges aren’t cheap either!

Ernie, I am looking for a ‘Reflective Object Sensor’ for my CNC Mill.  This is only about €3 hence my desire to walk into a store and buy it over the counter.  Rather than wait until my next consolidated order from Farnell I am going to ask my brother-in-law to visit Maplin and post it to me.

Thanks to everybody for their responses!

Cheers,

Brian
