Just love Universal Solder, especially their periodic sales! There selection of electronic gadgets is perfect for the Grand Dad bringing a Grandson in to the world of electronics. Latest project is an audio receiver for our grandsons room based on modules from Universal Solder. Even with the Postal Strike items arrived promptly in the USA (California). Many Thanks.

Order was exactly what I wanted at prices I can live with. I like supporting a reasonably local company (only 400kms away) over an online foreign megamart even if it means having to pay shipping. They don't always have everything I'm looking for but they always have things I didn't realize I needed until I started looking on their website ... dammit! 5 stars because they're good at what they do, they're Canadian, they're reasonable, and their stuff is usually good quality.
I’ve been ordering from you for quite a while now and have always (and still am) satisfied with my experience and my purchases.
One small oversight this order though.
One of the products (quantity 2) I ordered was SKU #26320 (2x Wemos D1 Mini Prototyping Boards), so I should have received 4 boards in total. I received 2 packets containing one board each for a total of 2 boards. Wondering if you can kindly send me two more boards.
A few other things I would like to mention. I like your website. I find it easy to navigate, I like how you categorize your products so it’s easy to find a product, and I like how you add product descriptions and useful links where you can. I also love how you send a paper invoice complete with pictures so if my little brain forgets what a certain product is, all I have to do is look at the pic along with the description and problem solved.
Thanks,
Dan
Great selection of Arduino 'widgets' and other electronic gadgets for the hobbyist or instructor - new items are constantly being added. Unbeatable value.
My Universal Solder orders to date have always been complete and correct - in one case where an item was out of stock and not included, I was refunded the same day I pointed out the discrepancy !

Finally a decent Canadian supplier!
Very handy to have a supplier in Canada for once! Decent selection of items for tinkerers and enthusiasts, especially for microcontroller projects. I've ordered from their website a few times this year and the orders always arrive quickly and complete, no parts missing. Even during the Canada Post strike they quickly pivoted to another shipper with only a small delay.
Only negative is some of the items don't have documentation and if you need further info you may be told to go check YouTube. Also I've noticed item reviews on their website must be approved before posting, and if your review is justifiably negative it never gets approved.
Nonetheless, I will continue to order from them because of excellent pricing and fast service!
