You gotta see this. Maplin offer 'web chat' - an efficient and fast problem resolution channel. I had a convo two minutes ago. Whilst I can't complain at the speed and politeness, I must question the motives of this type of contact channel - check the third thread:

you: Hi, I bought a Linksys Wireless G ADSL Home Gateway the other day, and I have a problem installing it. I want to wire it to a desktop PC, but there is no ethernet connector at the back of the machine. It is a PIII 450, and I just wondered what components/cables I need to buy to get me up and running. Thanks.

Kevin: Please give me a moment, let me have this checked for you.

 

you: thanks

 

Kevin: Sorry, I am not very sure about this. I would suggest you to contact our customer support at 0870 4296000, and they would be in a better position to help you out in this regard.

 

you: Do you not have a non 0870 number? I was assured in the shop that the gateway was totally 'plug and play.' I have no problem with buying an adaptor, but I draw the line at calling premium rate numbers and being kept in hold for 10 minutes at a time...K

 

evin: Then you may contact the stores directly and they would assist you accordingly..

 

you: Okay - cool. I'll pop in on Friday. Thanks anyway.

 

Kevin: Thank you for contacting Maplin live chat services!
