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... See more

Exactly how you should expect it.
Great product selection and customer…
Great product selection and customer service. Need to watch out for module sizes though, just because an adapter board appears in the "you might also want to buy" banner, it doesn't necessary mean it's actually compatible.

Thank you for the note. We will make compatibility more clear on the related product pages. We will also have a replacement for the screw terminal in the works that will fit all of those modules with no exemption.
Easy to deal with
Easy to deal with. Great customer service and very fast shipping. I'll be buying from them again for the high school technology classes I teach. Gros merci!

Thank you. I agree, documentation is our little issue. This is mostly due to very limited resources (manpower). Hopefully, we can fix this over the next year (we got plans).
A+ Experience
Clear website, excellent products, reasonable prices. When I need electronics, Universal Solder is always my first stop.

Universal-Solder has been a "go to"…
Universal-Solder has been a "go to" place for years to purchase great electronic products and projects at an excellent value. Shipping is fast and affordable.
Their response to inquiries has always been quick and concise.
Recently, I have purchased atomic clock modules, ESP32 modules, high power LED's, SMPS modules, DIY kits, and other great products.
Keep up the good work, Universal-Solder.

Received, works, good packaging and price
Received what I ordered, good packaging, programmers work fine, great price. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is it took a long time, 2-3 weeks to receive and it was mailed from the same province (ON), but that could have been Canada Post.

Reply from UNIVERSAL-SOLDER Electronics Ltd
It definitely was Canada Post because we ship everything that's in stock the same or next business day (depending on cut-off times).
Fast and courteous service

Great website
Great website. Online ordering process is simple.
Website is well organised and the catagories make finding items easy.
I have made 3D printed enclosures for some of your PCBs. Would be nice if end users could post pictures of their projects, and .STL files for 3D print files
