The panels I bought from 'sailgb.com' are exactly the same as the one
advertised by Maplin.

www.sailgb.com/p/solar_powered_12v_battery_trickle_charger/

I can safely say so because 'salgb.com' is Extreme GB Ltd operated by
one Dan Welburn of Daventry. He took my order for two panels via his
website, and in turn ordered two solar panels at trade price of £6.38
each from Maplin, who shipped them directly to me with a despatch note
bearing his details (name, address, MAplin account etc).

So that answers that query.

Shows the mark up that Maplin have then 'cause as sure as eggs is eggs
they'll still be making a profit selling at £6.38 trade. The Maplin retail
price is £19.99 Inc VAT. Mind you they also have 7213 in stock according
to their web site...

... and they have fairly regularly offered them at £9.99, too.

I didnt know you could get trade at maplins!

Having used them for business stuff they are indeed shite at shipping
invoices and dispatch notes properly.
Most places ship the goods with a delivery note with no prices on and
the invoice separately. Not maplins - bunch of muppets! It makes it much
harder to mark stuff up when you have to go chasing the invoice up on
site first!

Must go with the territory. The antipodean Maplins equivalent is
equally good at doing that. And just to really make things interesting
they now see the last site address I used as the default shipping
destination for future orders. Twats.
