    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.

    I went to Maplin Electronics to buy simple common parts for electronics projects. That was 3 years ago when I did not have access to Internet. In so many instances, they do not have the most common parts, you go to the shop to buy an electrolityc cap and he tells you that they don't have it in stock ...

    If you buy from Maplin know your product and test/use it immediately.
    Be aware of the 14 day returns policy, even if the product is completely unused and in the original unopened wrapper, they will refuse to refund or offer even a credit voucher, and this was only 20 days from purchase!

    I am dis ...

    I've bought a whole range of items from Maplins from simple cables to Skype phone, PC speakers to blank CDs. Sometimes they aren't the cheapest but, when things go wrong, they respond wonderfully.

    I have used Maplin over at least 30 years, they have never let me down. They keep you informed if items are not in stock and dispatch them the minute they are in stock. They don't charge exorbitant carriage costs but you uually get your goods within a day or so.
