    I have been using Maplin since the 1980's. I used to get good customer service, but recently they have gone downhill.

    The Maplin website claims that '... the unit provides full amplifier circuitry protection maintaining the load at the a ...

    I purchased a Moving Display Sign from this store and was offered a double deal on batteries which I accepted. When i got home I realised the batteries they had given me were ...

Having got them home I realised that they were u ...
