Hi, Be warned that I had a bad experience on Maplin's site about a year ago. I placed quite a large order and submitted it, but was told that the order could not be processed and I should try again. This happened three times before I gave up. The next day I found that I'd crashed my trading account because all of the orders had, in fact, been processed. Don't get me wrong, Maplins are a reputable company and sorted out the problem very quickly, but I've placed my orders via their phone line since. Best wishes.
