The last time I used Maplin it was to buy a 47k dual linear pot. I checked the website and found it was available from my local branch. It wasn't particularly expensive and the assistant retrieved it from the back once given the online reference. This saved paying delivery or minimum order charges from RS, CHS etc. and there was no waiting.

I must admit I buy most stuff from Chinese sources though, especially if I'm not in a rush for it.
