There are a lot of other shop locally, nationally and online that sell the same products sometimes at less than half the price of Maplins. The shop is OK and the sales assistants try to be helpful. But if I need something in a hurry I always check the Argos and Maplins websites first to see who has it the cheapest. If I'm not in a rush then 99.9% of the time I can find it cheaper somewhere else online.

I have purchased loads of PC bits and bobs from Navatech over the past few years and have always…read morebeen impressed by the prices and the service that they offer. They mostly stock PC's and components/peripherals but also sell things like TV's as well. One of the best things about Novatech is the various pre-assembled and tested bundles that they do. They have a range of motherboard and barebone PC bundles that come with the memory, processor, heatsink etc already installed and tested. This is a great idea, especially if you are a bit of a novice at building a PC but fancy giving it a go. It takes all of the guess work out of matching components and makes sure you don't wreck the new kit you've just bought by installing it wrong.

Novateach is a name known well outside Portsmouth. If you are familiar with ebuyer, misco, dabs and…read morethe like then you've probably heard of Novatech. They offer everything you could possible need for your PC and the prices are usually pretty good - certainly better than the prices you might at PC World instore for instance. The warehouse has a sales office so you can just go along and browse but most people will only be there to collect the items they;ve seen, or bought online. Novatech has a very good website and they offer a fast track collection service. They are base don a small industrial estate just past Port Solent, going towards Fareham (if coming from Porstmouth). They have a small car park and I've never had a problem parking either there or very close by (be careful you do not park somewhere where they clamp you). As a PC enthusiast having Novatech on my doorstep is great - reasonable prices without the pain, cost and inconvenience of having to book a courier delivery.

Was called a "D**khead". Absolutely terrible service…read more I was having a problem with the DC port in my laptop, which had disconnected on the inside. I found 19 Computing on Google and felt reassured by the reviews. However, when I originally went to drop off the laptop, I asked how long it would take to repair and I was told 3 working days. After 3 working days, I give them a call to see if it had been done, and they told me that they hadn't started it and were going to take 2 more days to look at it. After the two days passed, I was called and told they would need to order in a the piece for my laptop and that it would take a week to get. I was originally told it would take 3 days, which turned into 2 weeks. Then when I finally picked up my laptop, I went to plug it in at home and I'd noticed there was a problem with my laptop which I never had. The battery no longer received charge and unplugging the charger, would cause it to turn off. I went back to the store and explained the issue and the worker told me that it was essentially my problem and that they had nothing to do with it. I find it a little strange that my battery stopped working after I gave it to them, when it was working fine and receiving charge beforehand. It took 6 visits to sort out my issue and as I left the store for the final time, the man working headed upstairs and then preceded to yell the word "D**khead"

Definately the best joke shop around!…read more U Need Us are suppliers of such items as wigs, makeup, tights, balloons, seasonal goods (xmas and halloween outfits namely), gag jokes (tar soap, itching powder, whoopee cushions) and costumes.

Quite possibly the best place to come and get Hallowe'en decorations, or decorations in general…read more The store is horribly cramped, but everything is neatly organized into just two aisles and there is a heck of a lot of items for sale in such a tiny shop. They sell everything from costumes, masks, balloons, wigs and huge Hallowe'en props to latex body paint. I wanted to construct a ghost for an elaborate decoration one year and found out that they actually sold styrofoam mannequin heads for just £5! The shop also sells gags (hot chili mints, itching powder etc), as well as a decent variety of board games. The people who work there are quite friendly but are always inundated with crowds and there's never a proper queue, which can be annoying, but it's worth braving the crowds to get something unique here.
