    Wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy, never mind a friend. Their customer service is non-exist, they genuinely don't care. They won't answer your queries or respond to technical questions, not that it matters since their staff are utterly clueless. I will never purchase from Maplin again.

    I often get those Maplin brochures arrive in the post with lots tempting products. I have purchased many items from them and have been generally happy with the service until now. I recently purchased an item from Maplin which was faulty. I took the item straight back and expected them to exchange it for a new one. Silly me, Maplin are the only store that don't exchange faulty goods for new. Instead you have to send the item back for inspection by an engineer, this takes a couple of weeks, the ...

    I went to maplin in Stockport for a solar panel, yesterday 26/12/2008, I saw a 60what solar kit reduced from £299 to £229 a saving of £70 I thought, well keeping that in mind I looked for similar products in the instore maplin catalogue only to find the identical same product at a listed price of £199. I asked the manager if this was a mistake and could I have the £70 saving of the catalogue price because there was clearly an error in the sale price. The manage ...

    Maplin is one of those places you either love or hate. If you know what you want then all is well. If not, then you have to rely on the store staff and I've found that this can be 'hit or miss'. But in my local store, the staff are always willing to help out, and will get someone who can help.To be realistic to get highly knowledgeable staff, in a high street store, with the range of products that maplin sell is going to be tricky (no offence young chaps of this world)Yes the prices can be highe ...
