no order too small…

I’ve used the components supplier farnell before and found them to be excellent. Up until recently I’ve been able to get around their minimum order value for free delivery because work has an account with them; however work has changed their policy so I can’t order stuff through them any more (grrr).
So anyway, I needed to repair the PSU on a Topfield I got off ebay and the 6 capacitors I need came to £2.69 inc VAT; I figured I’d have to bite the bullet and pay a fiver or so for delivery (although I wasn’t too happy about it). Imagine my surprise, therefore, when the checkout came out at “free same-day-dispatch”.
It turns out that farnell abolished the minimum order requirement for website cash orders at the beginning of the year. So hurrah for them!
Edit: they arrived next-day too. Brilliant!
Reedit: no-minimum-order policy has now been reversed. Booooo!
