Product lead time refers to the estimated time we are expecting to have additional inventory from the manufacturer that will be available for customers to order.

When a part is on backorder, it means that the item is currently out of stock or unavailable for immediate delivery due to either high demand, production delays, or supply chain disruptions. We will advise you of the expected waiting time for delivery and offer substitutes or similar items as an alternative.

If you want to save your basket online for purchase later you can use the Saved Baskets feature.

Order minimums and multiples refer to the minimum quantity of a product that a customer must purchase in a single order and the subsequent multiples in which additional units can be ordered. Certain products, like resistors or cables, come in reels or packs of a set length or quantity. They are not available for sale in quantities below certain levels because it is not economical to package them in smaller quantities.

You can enter a voucher code on the shopping basket page at the ‘add a voucher code’ box. When you have entered a valid voucher code, press the “apply” button, and the shopping basket total should display the updated discounted total.
