RE: Craplins Staff update for Glasgow...

["Keith Doxey" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

Rapid Electronics 01206 751166 

Farnell    www.farnell.com

Onboard Electronics www.onboard-electronics.ltd.uk for cases

OneWay Circuits www.onewaycircuits.co.uk  for PCB's

Local engineering firm for metalwork

 

both Rapid and Farnell give excellent service with most items available ex-stock, good quantity discounts, and fast free delivery. Strangely enough, that was the reason I used to use Craplin.....how time have changed.

 

Ordered some parts from Rapid at 16:30 yesterday, they were delivered by Royal Mail at 09:25 this morning.

As I did a long time ago.

 

Spent thousands with them over the years, now I cant spend any money there even if I wanted to. They dont stock what I want to buy. When I queried why I hadnt received my free trade catalogue a couple of years ago I was told that I hadnt spent enough money with them in the previous catalogue period.

 

I pointed out that this was *entirely* their fault for discontinuing all the stuff I bought. The original KAT5 circuit was build from parts stocked by Maplin ( since discontinued ) however since KAT5 went on sale I have spent over £2K on parts and cases, NONE of which has gone Maplins way.

 

Maplin USED to be my first choice for parts, now I only use them as a last resort. I hold larger stock levels of jack plugs in my back yard than they do in the Norwich store :-(
