My RS order arrived nice and early today. WIll try to do the speakers this afternoon.
Mark, I too feel guilty about abusing my account privilege of free delivery. Especially as my total volume with RS is small. I'm nostalgically musing on the good old days (?) when the RS rep used to visit a couple of times a year with catalogues, samples etc. Then the tentative moves to CD catalogue, very crude online ordering where I think you had to dial up to their order line modems.
I've not yet used Mouser or Digikey but certainly would if they had the right bits at the right price. Because they look after all the VAT and duty stuff it's no more trouble than RS or Farnell.
It's good to know that Mouser have got their UK selling arrangements in place for 2021.

I can't see anything specifically about Digikey but they effectively supply via a wholly owned UK company so shouldn't be affected.
Please note: This is purely about the practical issues that will take effect from 2300 tonight and not a discussion of the politics.
