Like me you must be old enough to remember the days when RS Components were called Radiospares and the catalogue was about A5 size, 1/8 in. thick and came with a bit of string to hang it up by the workbench.
Imagine my surprise when I moved to France and discovered that the french RS Components is actually called Radiospares.

Anyone visited the RS website recently?
Electrocomponents, who own them (or some greasy little nerd, like me) seem to have broken things to that all links to the RS website now point to the Electrocomponents home page.
Bang goes that potential order :-(

Priceless!!!
You follow the links to the UK site...rswww.com... and hey presto - you're back at the Electrocomponents webpage! The perfect web implementationm of a revolving door...
I suspect this will get fixed real fast when the orders stop getting through.

Aaaarrrrgghhhhh!!
Good job there's still the catalogues
Mind you, there is now a surcharge of £3.50 as well if ordering below £20, got the letter through about 2 weeks ago.

What a mistaka to maka! Someone got their links crossed.
I should think someone might be looking for a new job at the business that must be costing.

AT least they may fix this one. Since their last 'update' printing off your order after after placing it has been impossible - unless you have IE :( So now I have crappy text emails in the order file, rather than the nice tidy screen dumps from the previous years ;) Progress is only backwards :)
There'll be jobs going at Farnell at this rate. I got called back into work cos they were busy
(something wrong with the RS website :.))
A complete f... up, it worked OK at 5pm today.
Exactly. Here's hoping they fix it before Monday morning.
Regards,
Anyone tried giving their customer services some earache?
Regards, Tony
Called them this morning, the site is undergoing changes and will be back online tomorrow.
They say that it was advertised last week, but their own technical guys didn't know....
