Shopping at element14, the Asia Pacific brand of Farnell and part of Avnet? Pick your electronics parts, then check out through ShopBack before you pay: ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. Farnell Limited in 1939 and part of Avnet since 2016; the group trades as Newark in the Americas, Farnell in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Japan, and element14 across Asia Pacific. The Singapore store at sg.element14.com is run by element14 Pte Ltd and lists more than 1 million products from over 1,000 brands, with 3,000 or more new products added every month. Clicking through from the ShopBack element14 merchant page first earns cashback on an eligible order at the current published rate. On ShopBack Singapore, start from the element14 page before you pay and part of what you spend at element14 comes back to you as Cashback.

element14 runs on registered customer accounts rather than a points programme: registering lets you save favourite parts lists, upload a bill of materials, track orders, request invoices and raise returns. Business customers can apply for credit account terms, and the site publishes a separate price list for volume breaks on each part. There is no loyalty points scheme to stack, so the saving layers are element14's own promotions and offers page, volume pricing, and ShopBack cashback earned by starting the order from the ShopBack element14 page.

element14 runs a rolling offers page with manufacturer-backed promotions on brands such as Raspberry Pi, development kits and test tools rather than site-wide sales, and its pricing follows component volume breaks rather than consumer sale dates. Expect themed promotions around maker events, back-to-school periods for education kits, and year-end clearance. ShopBack may upsize cashback on electronics merchants around 11.11 and 12.12. Verify the current offers on sg.element14.com and the live rate on the ShopBack element14 page before ordering.

Locally stocked items ordered before the 5pm cut-off are dispatched the same day, with orders received on Saturday or Sunday shipped the next business day. UK-stocked items reach your door in 3 to 4 working days on standard delivery or 4 to 5 working days on the next-day service. Delivery is free on orders of S$55 or more excluding GST; orders under S$55 incur a S$20 charge, and deliveries into Sentosa, Jurong Island and other restricted areas carry an extra S$25. All parcels go by courier and need a signature.

Both are UK-rooted distributors with Singapore storefronts serving engineers, makers and schools, and both stock Raspberry Pi, Arduino-compatible boards and industrial components. element14 publishes a 5pm same-day dispatch cut-off and free delivery from S$55; RS has its own thresholds and cut-offs, so compare the two checkouts for the exact parts you need. element14 adds the element14 Community and Hackster.io forums for build help.

Marketplace sellers can be cheaper on individual boards and modules but mix genuine, clone and used stock with variable warranty support. element14 is an official Raspberry Pi distributor and sells manufacturer-sourced parts with datasheets, order codes, volume pricing and a 30-day return process. For a one-off hobby module where authenticity does not matter, a marketplace may win on price; for a board that must be genuine, a test instrument, or a parts list for a graded project, element14 is the lower-risk buy. Both channels are available with ShopBack cashback through their merchant pages.

element14 Singapore operates a 30-day return policy: goods must be received back by the company within 30 days of the invoice date, and every return needs a return materials authorisation (RMA) number requested through the How to Return a Product form and written on the outside of the parcel; items without an RMA are not accepted. Goods returned as unwanted or incorrectly ordered may at the company's discretion carry a restocking fee of 20 percent of the invoice value, with a minimum charge of SGD 20. Faulty goods follow the terms of purchase.

Yes. element14 lists Raspberry Pi as a dedicated category alongside Single Board Computers, Maker & Education, and the Farnell group has distributed Raspberry Pi boards since the first model. Buying through sg.element14.com gives you manufacturer-sourced boards with order codes and datasheets, same-day dispatch on local stock before 5pm, and ShopBack cashback when the order starts from the ShopBack element14 merchant page.
