This tallies with my experience of Maplin.  However, in their defence, =
they
are pretty quick to sort out the goofs they have made on the last 5 =
orders I
have placed with them.  I now have a strange collection of connectors
coutesy of them...  They are overly expensive, don't have enough tech =
detail
on their websites and I really only use them for very occasional odds &
sods.  I prefer RS.  Or Crownhill for PICs.
