Good variety, prompt fulfilment.
Universal Solder has a decent variety of products at a reasonable price. Some kits are their own and others are the same variety that can be found on "discount sites from over seas", these tend to be the better ones that will work and are not as inexpensive, but you know that it will work as advertised. It is a Canadian company, which makes it a great choiice. Shipping is very fast and reliable. I've ordered from them many times and all were properly and promptly fulfilled.

You ordered with letter mail shipping to save money. And now you complain that letter mail does not have real-time tracking? That's unfair.
Don't know how you're able to compete…
Don't know how you're able to compete with EBay, AliExpress and Amazon... but by the time I factor in customs and shipping, you're always the better price! Supporting a Canadian business makes it even better.
I very much appreciate how easy you make it to order from your shop.
