[https://www.jameco.com/ Jameco] [1] Jameco has a very nice site catalog. It's not very big that you suspect a forest was sacrificed in its making. I has great color photos with relatively easy to find components. This is one supplier with a low price guarantee which means that if you can show a part offered for less, the lesser price is honored. Jameco also provides lower priced generic products as well as name brands.

[http://www.digikey.com/ Digi-Key [1]] Digi-Key is a large distributor of components from various manufacturers, offering a very large catalog with lots and lots of choices. However, the site uses small print that might be hard to read. The catalog includes line drawings but o part photos, but it does do an excellent job of labeling the parts. Overall, Digi-Key has a huge selection of products, but they might need a little looking to find them.

[http://www.mouser.com/ Mouser] [1] Another large distributor of components from various manufacturers is Mouser. I like how Mouser's site allows you to compile separate orders for different projects. You can come back as many times as you like to complete your order and make your purchase. We also like how Mouser label parts because the labels are easy to read and provide a lot of information about the specific part. Like Digi-Key, Mouser provides a very large catalog.

Unlike electronic gadgets and appliances that operate on different voltages in European countries, electronic components are pretty standard. Although Maplin will ship overseas, you might want to check out U.S. Suppliers first.
