Default Re: Maplin stores

The staff at my local Maplin shop in Cheltenham have always been friendly, attentive, and reasonably knowledgeable. Parking is only a short walk away. They've been useful when I need the occasional thing the same day. But I always check the stock level for the items in the branch on their web site, before setting off.

I have had an account with RS for over 30 years. More often than not, my orders arrive from different depots in separate packages and, with rare exceptions, Parcelforce delivers them almost too early for me... the next day between 7.30 and 8.00 am. The sheer convenience of dealing with RS means I am not as careful as perhaps I should be to shop around for the best price.
