We used to use RS Components at BT, and I did have dealing with them myself for a while, but it's been a good few years. They're O.K. on some items, but far from being the cheapest when it comes to a lot of components (speaking from the U.K. side of RS, of course).

They spun-out the non-business market here to Electromail some years back. Electromail carries the full RS range and will sell to anybody.
