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.

Trundling along North Street I'd almost given up looking for Maplin's and headed to P.C. World when…read morea man asked me for directions. 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.

This place is my mecca. Maplin to me is like a shoe shop to the wife! 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 :)

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.

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.

Just like the TV advert very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Today I called into Curry's to get some help on setting up my ( Magic Remote) unfortunately Sam was not working. I enquired at the service desk and was pointed to a young lady who was by the TV section. She was very pleasant but unfortunately did not have the information I required. She then took me to the Vision Manager, who was the person who had sent me to her in the first place. She explained the problem I had. To be perfectly honest. He was the complete opposite to the help and service I received from Sam, and the service I received from the Young lady who was trying to help. He did not want to get involved at all. He should sit down watch the Currys TV advert And be more customer friendly

The variety of products is average, but not bad. An very annoying thing is that the alarms on the laptops go off very often making a loud and irritating noise, ruining the shopping experience. Also the some of the staff hasn't got the appropriate knowledge that you would expect form a person that works in a shop that sells electronics - one of the ladies didn't know what a tablet is. All in all it's not a bad place to see a product you might buy from Amazon.

The guys working here are very friendly, and you get the impression that they treat every customer differently, and with great care - they try to pander to your every custom-made need, whether you want a simple speaker set, or a full multi-room entertainment system installed. You can tell they have a real passion for making people enjoy home entertainment, but as they stock specialist products and offer such a fine taylor-made service, the prices may put you off. I plan to return here when I have more money than sense. One day...

I've been buying my audio goodies from this shop for 35 years…read more The first sytem they built for me lasted 25 years! I then made the erorr of buying stuff from somewhere else which lasted only a rubbish 5 years! So I returned to Audio Projects 5 years ago, and guess what, tho technology's changed, you still get the best advice, the most helpful, personal customer service, and the most amazing, durable, quality products (and Bill is still there too!). They are probably a bit more expensive in the short term, but will work out cheaper in the longer term because they LAST. And they are the best your ears will ever hear. It's very rare these days to still have around shops like this - small independents which care - about their customers, their service and their products. Use em and treasure em people, or you could lose em...

Argos stores are a dying breed on the UK high-street now, which I have noticed even before the…read morepandemic started, a brand which was once in almost every town of the country, associated with the famous catalogue, in a digital era, gone are the day's, one would walk into an Argos store and browse the huge catalogue, writing down the product number on a tiny paper, now people will most likely order the item ahead online, to pick-up or pay in store. Many Argos concessions are now located inside Sainsbury's stores too, meaning the need for this store is even less. This location isn't too bad, located in the Manchester Arndale, it is located on the Upper Level, close to the inside steps to the Food Court, it is one of the largest Argos stores I've seen and often has most items in-stock, or avaliable to order online within a day or two. I do prefer to pay for the items online, as it can take a while for them to find your item in the warehouse. While the service is average, it can be a little slow even at the checkout. Most items are competitively priced for a high-street store, in some cases they price-match with Amazon, but they are rarely cheaper. 3* - This store is OK, but I can't see it lasting much longer with the company moving towards Argos stores, it wouldn't surprise me if they added a concession in the Sainsbury's at Regent Road, with pick-up points in the conviniance stores around the city.

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.
