Have you seen their terms of sale?

18? for shipping, farnell and rs charge 7,5?
13? for orders less than 100?, farnell and rs no minimun.
Then there's all taxes and customs rights added to your invoice.

I don't think it's cost-effective either for prototiping because of the
minimuns, or for large orders where you can take advantage of the strong
euro, and order directly from digikey US. Which is a shame really. Oh, and
the catalog has only a fraction of the available products.
