Not so much a recommendation, but a warning: www.scan.co.uk. I've not
managed to get a single order through them without significant
hassles, and their customer service is little better than a joke.

I've reserved a small piece of bile specifically for when I make it
past the front line monkeys to talk to someone that can do something
about the whole situation. Mail me off list for the full "why I can't
stand them" story.

On a more positive note, RL Supplies are wonderful. The prices are
okay, and their customer service is excellent, IME. To illustrate:
there was one time when I placed a reasonably large order with them,
but part of the kit was out of stock, and there was a delay getting
the part in. Not only did they offer to ship me the order in two
deliveries, with the delayed part being delivered for free, but they
gave me regular (every day or two) updates on what was happening.

Cheers,

Simon
