They'll have to make a good job of it and keep the prices down too. When
Maplin had become far more expensive than RS and never had more than a
few of each item in stock, it had clearly lost its way.
Mail order it would have to compete with RS, Farnell (plus their CPC
arm), Jaycar, Amazon and Ebay - and, for me at least, RS and CPC have
the advantage of trade counters for urgent purchases and Amazon has very
quick deliveries.
