Maplin Electronics
Feb 11th, 2011 at 9:29am
 
Does anyone have a number for Maplin in Salisbury, Wilts?  I have protested about their 0843 numbers.  I have also asked another store but their stores know only the 0843 numbers for other stores.

It would be helpful if you posted the 0843 number instead of leaving us to find it.

The information eluded to in the OP (including this store's address) can be found on the company's website:
http://www.maplin.co.uk/store-locator/salisbury

Phone number is 0843 227 7468 and the alternative is 01722 417644, as listed on the company's website last year before they changed to 0843 numbers. I have now added this to the database.

Thanks.  Yes, I could have told you the 0843 number - sorry.  2nd para - I think you mean "alluded" to!  I'm glad you could look at last year's  website.  You do wonder whether these companies want to do business; this sort of thing was unheard of in the USA when I lived there.

Thanks for pointing out my incorrect use of "eluded"; I've looked in the dictionary and now appreciate the difference between "eluded" and "alluded".  Embarrassed

I saved a copy of the page from Google's cache (with 01/02 numbers on) in July just after Maplin switched the numbers on its site.  Wink

Jove,

I e-mailed Maplin CS in regards to the use of 0843 numbers to contact stores, but have never had a reply, it just show's how much they care for their customers.

Does anyone know the Geographic number for Maplin in Loughborough, Leicestershire LE11 5HG.  Their published number is 0843 227 7472.  This is a new store opened in Sept 2010, so Dave, unfortunately I don't think your stored copy from July 2010 will have it in  Sad

I've checked BT Phonebook, Yell.com, 192.com and Thomson Local and all return a blank.

Not surprising really. Maplin stores we're (and may still be) listed in BT Phonebook, probably those entered before they went to 0843. But now it looks like they're keeping them secret.

The best advice I can give is to ring another branch(es) and see if the person who answers will give you the geographic number for Loughborough.

Or alternatively, shop somewhere else. Since Maplin has grown, its prices are now up there and stuff can be bought elsewhere. Online such as eBay for hobby and electronics bits I suggest.

Thanks Dave.  I totally agree about Maplin's prices and usually avoid.  However they have a part I need today (reasonably priced  Shocked) and I want to go and collect it - but need to ring to confirm it is in stock.  I will see if the Leicester store will give me the Loughborough Geographic number.

If you do get it, please post it here and I will add it to the listings.  Smiley

Unfortunately that number/address is New Look in Loughborough, not Maplin  Sad
The Leicester Branch did not have a geographic number for the Loughborough Branch.
