I live one country, 1 time zone (which helps)  and about 1,500 miles of
ocean away from Farnell's nearest warehouse.
I can (usually) order components up to about 6:30pm and have the courier
deliver them about 6:30am next day.

I'm only about 20 miles from RS's warehouse and they are often but not
always good for 1/2 day delivery. But my last RS order was sent via a city
about 600 miles away.
