Can't find a Company Report forum so I put this here:

I ordered cable and connectors from Maplins 'on line store' on Tues 12th but still hadn't received them by today, so I called customer service and was informed that my order would be dispatched today.. :Angry:.. I asked why the delay and was told it was due to a warehouse problem.. but they would be with me by Monday .. :Angry:
I think this is really poor service, I was hoping to do the work this weekend, more time wasted, I would have driven to the nearest store if I'd known how long it was going to take.. :RollEyes:

I've used them loads, and as their trade counter is in Preston, quite handy for me too ::bigsmile:

Hi Jim

Im hoping this is an isolated case which they said was due to them moving warehouses.. but that's no consolation when your waiting for parts .. :RollEyes:
