RS Coponents Australia

**Why bother? Their prices are far too high (I checked a couple of items). Farnell provides free shipping on all orders and I can obtain a part within 4 hours, if I require it.

I've used Mouser occasionally too. They had free shipping to Oz for a while, but I don't know if they still do.

If they'd had any brains at all they'd have recorded the mac using a barcode reader before they put the unit in the post to you. Devices of this type usually have that sort of info on the outside of the box in a machine readable form.

It certainly did. This I know, because optus sent me a second one, which I still have in its box. I told them that they could come and collect it if they want - but they never did. BTW, they also supplied an ADSL splitter for use with this *cable* modem.

I can only assume that they feel that the people in their customer service call centre didn't have enough work, and that this was an opportunity to provide some.

Fair comment, I prefer to walk into the shop and buy, but there are no Farnell or RS shops close to me. Is Conrad really so expensive ? What items did you actually compare ?

**Does Farnell stock the item you require?
