    I was on the hunt for a number of items on www.maplin.co.uk and when I searched for them I got a list of things I had no idea were related in anyway to what I was after. If this could be remedied it might stop visitors clicking away.

    Vast amounts of products I've not seen since the days of Tandy a ...

    Maplin Electronics appears to be the only business in these hard times that have NOT passed on the VAT drop instead it seems they have increased there prices by 2.5% to compensate so they don't have to change their price tickets - not very good customer service.

    I experienced disappointing customer service from Maplin Electronics through emails which, if I received one, was usually about a week late.
    Also an expensive customer 0870 phone number which kept me hanging on which I think is cheeky if you have not received a delivery or have faulty goods, to have ...

    Useful if you are after an odd bit fast and you have a maplins shop locally. However if you're looking to buy online or quite a bit of stuff then I think it's normally not worth it as I find them more expensive compared to most places and don't have a very good return policy.

    Like most places the s ...

    Bought a Pocket Surf2 gadget from Maplin during a day trip in London. With this gadget, you have to switch it on, and register and activate it, to actually see how it works. I did this and found I was not happy with the product. By then I was back home in Manchester.I took it back within the 14 da ...

    For the last 3 years, I've found Maplin to be a good source of components from computer parts to home electronics. It is a good shop as long as there are no problems with the product. If a product is faulty, buyers should be aware of a less publicised 14-day refund condition which means it may take ...

    Poor service, were not interested in helping me, buying a laptop charger from Maplin Electronics has cost me 600 quid!
    I would think twice before buying anything from them.

    I tried to return an external hard disk drive which did not function as expected. They stated that it could not be returned because it was a "memory" product, which it is not. If you really insist, they may send the new item to one of their engineers to check.

    I always buy computer parts from Maplin Electronics, and their service and price is excellent. They have a huge product range, which I don't think any other retailer has.
