"Ship order complete"

Looks like they want to be sure people don't interpret it that way. That's what they say they won't do. But so long as multiple parts of one order are found in one location, you'll get one package only from that location, and one from each other location filling your order, if you tick that box. I guess if you don't, they send each part in its own package. (Part meaning component type, either singly or in quantity). Best ask them though, if you find any other interpretation that makes sense. It might be more ambiguous than it looks to me, and you already saw it differently than I do.

That's what it looks like to me. It only matters if something is backordered. In that case, you get a choice of send me what you have now and send the rest later as it comes in vs wait until everything is in and then send it.

These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer\'s.  I hate spam.

It means a maximum of one shipment per warehouse. If the parts are stocked at different warehouses, you will get multiple shipments even if you check the box.

Actually, we understood it the same way. I meant one shipment

*per warehouse*. As opposed to the most unfavourable case, several shipments per warehouse. Thanks !

Well they (vermason.co.uk) quoted me 40 GBP for shipping 100 GBP worth of not particularly heavy merchandise across the Chanel. Ouch ! At that price, I'm wondering if it's not actually more expensive to buy direct from them than through RS...

I run an electronics cart, and we would be very happy to get feed back on any ambiguity that affects sales. Try sending them an email, and ask them. Also suggest they may like to clarify the point on their web site.

Reading the replies in this thread, it simply means adding a simple sentence to clear this up.

But then some companies don't/won't change easily.

Cheers Don...

Yep, you did. :) Sorry. Misread that bit..

Made a quick comparison and it looks like it's still cheaper, but not by a huge margin. And that's with the pound at near-parity with the euro.

Parcelfarce would have cost even more (46.50 GBP for one 5-kg parcel). Either I've spent too much time under a rock, or shipping costs have gone up *again*.

Merry Christmas, all.
