In my location, Preston, Maplin moved out ages ago to a trading estate two or three miles away. When it was in town, I often visited for items I wanted quickly. But now it is miles away, I find it easier and cheaper to get things online from places like Rapid, who usually manage to deliver even small items overnight. I did use Tandy when they had a shop here, but don't really think a small mail-order firm will survive very long. Once-up-a-time, there were quite a few radio and electronics shops in Preston, but now, they are all gone! When compared to mail order, they are a bit on the expensive side!
