When you place the order all the items available for despatch will be sent immediately. Outstanding products on back order will be despatched as soon as all the remaining items are in stock, to complete the order in one parcel.
Will I be charged carriage on Back Orders?
On the UK mainland, you will be charged only once per order for carriage. This charge will be levied against the first shipment of goods. Outside the UK, should further export carriage costs be required we will contact you before despatch.
If I have items on back order which are part of a buy 1 get 1 free offer or a bundle, do I still get the saving?
Offers of this nature (i.e. buy 1 get 1 free, buy 2 get 1 free, motherboard bundles etc) only apply when all of the items are in stock.

Site Security
Are my details secure ?
As soon as you access the 'checkout' or 'login' pages, your Internet browser will go into secure mode (i.e. before you enter any personal or payment details). You can tell whether a page is secure as 'https' will replace the 'http' at the front of the www.maplin.co.uk in your browser address window. A small locked padlock will also appear in the bottom bar of your browser window. Our secure site is Verisign secured.
Our secure mode uses industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to provide encryption of personal information such as your name, address and credit card details. In this way, information passed between your computer and us cannot be read in the unlikely event of someone intercepting it.
The encryption process creates billions of code combinations to protect each transaction made on our site, so your card details cannot be viewed by anyone else using the Internet. If you are using one of the more recent browser versions, our site supports 128 bit encryption and therefore keeps your details as safe as possible at all times.
If you have an earlier version of Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Netscape Navigator, we suggest that you download a free upgrade from the relevant sites.
