Thanks for the info.

I've never managed to place a Rapid order of sufficiently low value to attract a postage charge anyway! Any orders over £30 are free.

A good way to sample their service, though. When I last looked, they still had CA3080E and LM13700 OTAs, LM386 for 25p, LA3607 7-band graphic chip for 98p, ICL8038 VCO, 2N5457, BS170, ...

They havn't any CA3080E chips left as I tried to get some a couple of weeks ago but they do have a lot of other transistors and op-amps I couldn't find anywhere else.

I just wish they'd deliver to an address other than the cardholder's one. Maplin and RS do it, but Rapid have some very keen prices on parts I use a lot. Ah well.

I just ordered a load of parts a week ago.  Could be doing with some 386s though...
