Picstart Plus PUM

I've just tried to order a Picstart Plus PUM from Microchip direct, 
16.28 UKP for the board. After adding all the shipping and handling 
charges it's going to cost me 39.28 UKP. Does anyone know a way for me 
to get one of these in the UK without paying the ridiculous handling 
charges?

Do Maplin's or RS do them? Perhaps Farnell might.

Can't find them on RS, wouldn't give my money to Maplin unless they 
really were the only place I could buy from, I'll take a look at Farnell 
later.
