Maplin demise

I order quite a bit of RS it’s not the cheapest but not unreasonable.

I can normally get everything from them and it arrives quick. I’ve never had to chase them tbh

If I remember correctly Maplin were originally just a mail order exercise, decades ago. I always thought them moving into retail park shops to sell small electrical bits which are inherently cheap was never a sustainable business.

there lies the problem with most businesses. they have small shops and a few staff . rent rates electricity and wages are affordable . then they move to larger property and costs go through the roof . the price of goods stop the same . hence no profit and have to close on line shopping hasn't helped . the days of going round shops looking at the prices and models then buy on line are numbered
