I order from there alot, and they are actually much cheaper, in bulk

If you have over £50 worth of things in your cart its free delivery

And when you buy more its cheaper

But if you just need the one, just go to maplins and get one or ebay

Suprisingly its cheaper to order the one on ebay than it is to actually go to a store (maplins) and buy it lol

If your gonna make an order with rapid (i usually make very large orders from there, like thousands or resistors, some more dremel disks, 0603 LEDs (their leds are usually much cheaper than phenoptix's ones) etc) then just add like 2 or 3 on (I usually always buy extra in things for spares)

You could just go to ur local hardware store and buy a magnetic window alarm. You can get the reed switch out of it.
Any Questions? Please Contact Me: rceckspurt13@gmail.com

Yeah. They were selling magnetic window alarms at my dollar store so I'm sure you could find something at walmart, hardware store, etc.
