High quality products at an affordable price :)

I needed to buy a kit for university on short notice, and Tinkery was not only able to supply me with a kit at an affordable price, but they shipped it to me within a few days of ordering! You guys are lifesavers :)

We were sorry to hear about this and we really appreciate for your feedback.
This was due to an error with the TrustPilot plugin that was sending out review notifications on preorders that had yet to be received by our warehouse (delays in Customs processing). The TrustPilot notifications were saying that orders were shipped, and this was not the case. These preorders were immediately shipped upon receipt by our warehouse.

We were sorry to hear about this and we really appreciate for your feedback. This was due to a manufacturer error, which we worked round the clock to get replacements for.
This was addressed and resolved in person with a replacement USB Blaster.

Perfect kit for uni

The kit arrived quickly and has a lot of variety in the components perfect for the mechatronics uni course I got it for. It’s a decent price too for what you get especially compared to if you were to buy everything individually.

Hi Kate,

Thank you very much for leaving such wonderful feedback. We are delighted to hear that it was exactly what your son wanted. :)
If your son is also interested in workshops, we run workshops around interactive technologies, inventing, innovation, robotics and STEM. If he is interested in any of these, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We are planning our next phase of programming at the moment, and would love to see what workshops people would be interested in trying out.

Ordered six servo motors

Ordered six servo motors and chose express postage, they arrived really quickly, very happy with that.
The servos appear to be genuine TowerPro brand, I have had bad experiences with knock-off brand servos in the past, so very happy that these appear to be genuine. I have only tested one but it works as expected and I feel confident that if I had a problem Tinkery would do their best to resolve it, as they appear to be a local Sydney community minded business (love the inner west).
Very happy to recommend.
