Maplin isn't the cheapest place on earth, but they provide actual 
customer service. It's worth a few percent more for that.

(They're also a real-world shop, so you can walk in, purchase something, 
and have it in your hand the same day, rather than waiting 3 days for it 
to be delivered and then waiting until the weekend so you can go to the 
post office to collect the item during their brief opening hours...)
