Also, I agree with Grumpy_Mike about Maplin, they do some multi-packs quite well. (Some of their "grab bags" are great, others really contain far too few components for the money, be careful)

EDIT: Andrew's bitsbox.co.uk recommendation looks a little better than my suggestions if I'm not much mistaken. On the other hand, it's quite easy to pop into Maplin for that one more bag of caps while the Mrs is in John Lewis... that's got to be worth a small premium :slight_smile:

I'm with n00B :slight_smile:

Its not unusal to receive stuff the day after you ordered it, highly recommended.
