Despite the shop's floor size they must have Aladdin's cave as a stock room. I know this because…read morewhen I asked the owner of the company, Julian Richer, why his stores were so small he wrote back in person to inform me that it is in order to keep overheads down and ultimately deliver low prices to the customer. Anyway this personal approach from the director of the company is echoed all the way to the salesmen who, unlike larger chains of electrical stores, actually know what they are talking about. Even more to their credit, the salesmen will tell you if the products they have are not going to be suitable for your needs. Something you don't see all that much these days. The store is not located in the centre of Nottingham and is not situated well for any of the multi storey car parks. However this is not a problem as there are parking slots outside the store and the staff will pay for the parking meter.

To Sum Up: It Sells it all and for a reasonable price…read more Maplins is where i normally head to when i need some sort of electircal componant whether it be a transfere cable a power cord or a new companant for my pc. the deals that you find in maplins are not often beaten by any other high street name and you cannot beat there customer service, when i had three succesive failure with a bluetooth dongle they offered to upgrade to a better version without me having to pay the difference. they stock pretty much everything electronic from toys to pc parts to audio and lighting equipment. The staff are allways happy to help and will often lend advice and tell you about things that you didnt consider.

Located in broomhill this is the shop to go to for all your audio needs, selling everything you…read morecould possibly want for that truly amazing audio experience you've been after. Friendly staff are allwyas happy to provide you with advice and information regarding products and are sometimes able too hook up systems for you to see working. On the downside the store is a little cramped which means if its busy you might fel a litte claustrophobic but everything is laid out well despite this. Becuase this is one store from a country wide chain its worth taking note of the notice as you enter the store, online prices are often cheeper then the ones in store, if you take in proof of an online price then they will happily sell a product at that price. Whats more they will even refund your parking charges even if you don't purchase anything, as long as you are a genuine customer. Customer service seems second to none but because of the cramped conditions when busy i can't quite give the store five out of five.

I had a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge that wouldn't turn on, so i sent it to that repair shop, i thought…read morethe problem would be the battery, when the phone returned to me, the charging port was damaged and they stole my SIM card tray, i then went to the shop and asked for it back, and when i inserted my SIM card, it only says Emergency Calls Only, i tried 2 different SIM cards and tried them on different phones, they worked on the different phone but not on my S6 Edge, the owner also told me that it was me that broke the charging port when the charger used to plug in before i sent it to repair! When i rang in, they said it could not be fixed! I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO GO THERE!

My partner took her HTC 1 phone for repair, the asian male ( the owner ) said yes no problem we can…read morefix it, he took the phone and passed out a receipt. After a week my partner rang for an update on the phone, she was told that it couldn't be fixed, yet previously he said it could. When my partner picked the phone up the owner conveniently took the receipt off her and passed the phone back saying no it can't be fixed, on top of this the phone had been damaged further (the screws were damaged, the battery cover didn't fit back on and an electronic contact had been snapped off rendering the phone useless also the volume key was missing. Me and my partner visited the shop on the 10th April (A.M) to resolve this issue and we were told that ' this phone was never taken to the shop ' and he didn't have a clue what we were on about. This trader has been reported to trading standards and they have given us instructions and advice on resolving this issue. I would just like to add we are a couple in our 40's and don't have a habit of trying to get people in trouble but this is a really disgusting and incompetent way to treat the paying public.

I bought an induction hob from Gotchs in Selby and had it fitted by them in October this year…read more within two months the hob made a loud banging noise, caused a fuse to go and broke. Whilst outside the 30 day right to refund and return stipulated under the 2015 Consumer Act this is well within the six month period in which it is the retailers responsibility, not the manufacturers, to either fix or replace the item. Gotchs failed to recognize this and told us we had to go to the manufacturer. This is very unhelpful and I'll-informed customer service. This really does need rectifying as Gotchs will lose customers.

Gotch's of Selby ltd, is situated on the corner of Micklegate and finkle street. There is no…read morecustomer car park but there are a few pick up spaces outside the store and a fair sized pay-and-display car park opposite. Gotch's is an electrical store selling very much what you would expect in the likes of Curry's on Gowthorpe. Gotch's is a family run business that has built up a good reputation amongst the locals not only for its goods but also for it excellent sales and after sales service. The Interior is larger than you would think with a range of house hold appliances as well as ranges in TV's and music. In the past we have brought a freezer and a tumble dryer, and that's even after shopping around for prices. The prices are too similar to bother with the big companies and its nice to support a Selby business over the national stores.

CEX is a great place to pick up some good deals on preowned music and DVDs, i wouldn't buy any…read moreelectrical goods like phones etc. from them though as they tend to be over priced, especially considering they're second hand. The Music in the store isn't exactly to everyones taste mostly being heavier rock numbers but if you can put up with it for a few minutes you normally pick up some good deals. The staff are often helpful and will normally replace cd cases etc should they be in poor condition, the only thing being that you do sometimes get the occasional that seems like they would rather be sticking pins i their eyes then serving you.

Completely wasted and ruined my day never returning to cex which smells of sweat and urine, which is also the most disorganised shop I have ever seen, Yours sincerely Lost customer

Richer Sounds is one of the cheapest places in the country to buy quality audio visual equipment…read more They have recently moved away from the town centre so the location isn't quite as convenient but the new shop is much larger so they can stock a lot more items. A lot of the things they sell are available through the Richer Sounds website but they usually recommend that you visit the store so that there is no risk of the items getting damaged in the post. This also means you get to actually listen to/watch the the equipment you are interested in before you part with your money. The staff are usually genuinely interested in the products they sell so are very knowledgable and willing to help.

The staff there are really helpful and are always at hand . I love the products from here they are really cheap and sometimes can often beat other retailers .

The shop itself has easy disabled access and is very clean and well layed out infact its a big improvement from the last shop its the best thing they did moving

I couldn't help him and said in passing that I was looking for Maplin's, he promptly gave me directions and I was soon in this Aladdin's Cave of electrical components. Being slightly out of the city centre this electronics shop is vast compared to my other experiences of Maplin's. You can get loads of little bits from transistors, to hard drives and a cacophony of wires to larger goods such as disco lights. Everything is here to enable you to vamp up any gadget you may have lurking in the house. Despite the size the layout is well devised, staff are able to find things quickly and can offer what seems to be knowledgeable advice on what you need, although I am no expert.

I have spent many hours just…read morewandering around here playing with gadgets and boys toys, the disco lights area is a favourite but I do get funny looks when I'm doing my Saturday Night Fever routine. If you need anything electronic you will find it here, from a tiny resistor to a great big speaker they will have it! The only thing that stops this place from being 5 star is they can be pricey on componenets compared with Farnells and CPC but if you need it today and need any advice this lot will sort you out :)
