Supplier	Free Shipping?	Notes
Bitsbox	No - £1.50 Regardless of order size though.	They have every component you could want, normally always in stock, at a cheap price, with good delivery times.
Futurlec	No	Good supplier, very cheap SMD to DIP converter's which are useful for prototyping.
RS Components	No	Not always the cheapest, but you can collect from a trade counter.
Farnell	Yes	Larger selection than RS and free shipping, however there is a minimum order to qualify.
Digikey	Yes	Even larger selection than Farnell and free shipping on orders over £50.
eBay	Varies	Always a good place to start, direct access to Chinese sellers without the risk.

Circuit Specialists - Soldering equipment, blackjack range is very good for the price.

IC2IC - Good for large orders, also able to find discontinued components.

Supplier	Free Shipping?	Notes
Butler Fasteners and Fixings	n/a	Excellent supplier. Small place, piled high with boxes of every obscure nut and bolt you can think of. Incredibly helpful in tracking down things to fit other things.

Supplier	Free Shipping?	Notes
J E James Cycles	Yes	Bad supplier, website lists things as in stock when they're not.

Supplier	Free Shipping?	Notes
Quick Services	n/a	Best place we've found to have hackspace keys cut. Generally have the right blanks in stock, reasonable prices.
