How do they do it?

[EFS]

Faced with a faulty pcb on a Britannia cooker hood and a three figure replacement cost I set about repairing and needed a couple of tactile push button switches.
Ordered from RS components and had to order a pack of 20 😮

Total cost inc. carriage £1.21 tracked delivery + signed for on delivery.
£1.21!! HTF do they do that? The packing must cost that much.

They can’t, that’s a loss.

Decimal point error and will only come to light when your credit card bill comes in at the end of the month. 🙁

No, they’re 5.05p each+VAT. Every online order from RS gets free next day delivery. They’re obviously banking on Steve returning one day with a bigger order!

Not so Martin it’s free delivery on any order so I guess they must have a special deal with parcelforce but great service anyway.
