Is there a foreign alternative to Peats?

    Peats' service is a bit Irish. You order stuff; it may arrive but it may not arrive for months. Could anyone please tell me is there a reliable alternative site I can order similar electronics stuff from?

    And there's always Radionics in Rialto who supply Maplin and Peats apparently. I bought the tidy sum of 1 resistor off them ages ago, I've but no shipping experience with them. Sure they're worth a go.

    Thanks for the help. Radionics looks alright. None of them have the handly web site like Peats though.

    I went to Peats on Parnell St to get 2gig RAM. When I went in I said I was having trouble finding it in the city. The guy then handed it to me and said it was 60 euro.. I said, "60 euro!, I saw it on the internet for 30 sterling." And in a perfect example of customer service, he said, "Well why don't you go live in New York then?" So I went around the corner to the Hua Wei Chinese computer store on Capel st. and found what I wanted for 38 euro. I suggest you do the same especially if you have an accent that the Dubliners at Peats won't recognize as one of their own. And the Chinese guy was polite.
