http://www.futurlec.com at less than one third of the price you'll get them in the 'States. I order thousands of pounds worth of parts from them. They typically take two or three days to deliver to the U.K.

I think GregG meant these type http://www.smallbearelec.com/Detail.bok?no=692 (I can't see these on futurlec myself but forgive me if i've overlooked them) i'd be interested in another place to get them too (other than mouser or digikey)

And 2-3 days for futurlec to deliver to the U.K.? It's always been 2-3 weeks for me... was that a typo or do they just not like me.

They just don't like you! I received a VERY BIG parcel of components from them this morning that was ordered on Friday!

Looks like they have levels of shipping service available to purchase.

That probably explains it, It's been a while since i've ordered from them and I normally go for the cheapest option, there must be a faster service.

I´m interested too... I use these 16mm pcb mount as well!
Although Smallear offers a very good price, I remember that once (loooong time ago) compared with mouser, and the prices were very similar, actualy lower in smallbear for small amounts (50 or less).
I believe Steve may buy them in bulk from mouser (or maybe even alpha directly) in order to provide such good prices... is my opinion, and anyways wouldn´t hurt to check some alternatives (specially in Europe :D)
