It sells everything from adapters,…read moresockets, phone equipment, music cables, TV cables, computer bits, screws in every size and colour, power adapters, sat navs, car equipment, tools to lava lamps. It really sells it all. Now, I will admit that as a typical girl, I am probably a DIY imbecile, and yet the staff has always been very patient and helpful with me, which I will forever be grateful for. This is the perfect shop for all your electronic needs whether you are a tech expert or just desperately trying to fix a household object.

Maplin is a great little electrical store. I've been here a few times looking for various things…read moresuch a a baby light bulb for a special lamp that I have, a cable that I needed for my old turntable. You name it they have it. The guys in here are always ready to help and must find it pretty amusing when I try and explain in nontechnical terms what I'm looking for like "oh you know that things that connects the little plug with the even smaller one" and they are like oh you mean the male/female adaptor.

We visited London with our 3 year old and had a day trip out of London planned. We booked a car but…read morediscovered they do not offer car seats. So we had a baby equipment delivery service/vendor lined up to have a far seat delivered to our hotel. Closer to our date, they informed me they were fully booked so that left us without any other option but to buy a car seat. I wasn't about to spend £££ on a luxury car seat (which is all we were finding in London) for one day use so I started googling and came across Argos. I browsed their site and saw the car seat that met our specifications which ended up being the same price as it would have been to rent from the vendor plus their delivery/pickup fees. We hate being THAT customer but we arrived 15 minutes before closing on the night before our planned day trip and we were able to purchase the car seat right then and there on their systems. Then walked a few steps over to their counter where they brought it over. We were in an out in 10 minutes. Service was fine although I realize a clueless customer rushing in so close to the end of your day might be slightly irritating. After use, we listed the car seat on Craigslist to anyone who wanted to pick up from us at our hotel lobby free of charge which worked out great since we didn't need to schlep the car seat to a local charity shop.
