Great selection of electronics for automation
I have been ordering electronics, controllers and sensors from Universal Solder for years. All of the products have been great. The owner responds quickly to emails when I have questions. Some of the products are difficult to find elsewhere, some products like the soldering kits are just fun.

Stellar Service, Interesting Products
Happy customer for two years and counting. I’m always at ease buying from Universal-Solder because the customer service is excellent and any issues are promptly resolved.
Always new and interesting products to tinker with and it’s my go-to source for stocking up on parts for prototyping like assorted resistors, LED packages and microcontrollers.
Adding ApplePay was a good touch too!

A well organized website with many low cost but good quality items. I feel like I'm a kid in a candy store :).
