I s'pose this is off-topic, but Digikey often seem to get recommended by the Americans here.

Well, I've just received a Digikey catalogue with, "prices in pounds stirling, including duty and brokerage" (or similar - don't have it to hand at the moment)

Have any of the Brits here used this?
If so, what's it like?
How long does stuff take to arrive?
How do you account for it on your VAT return?
Any other tips, tricks, or Gotchas!??
