I second on Rapid, they are good, considerably cheap when you only need few
tens or hundreds of components and fast delivery. However, I would only go
to Maplin if you need one or two pieces of something in 30 minutes, so you
jump into your car and get to their shop in your neighborhood. Otherwise I
found some parts 5-10 times more expensive then Rapid or other suppliers.
