Low shipping cost for small things at a great price
Great shop!
Cost close to Aliexpress but shipping speed of a North American retailer.
It's a great place when you need one chip (and not 100!) without being overwhelmed by shipping costs. Items price are extremely competitive.

Top shelf service!
I am so pleased to support this Canadian company. Not only is the selection excellent, but Volker knows how to treat his customers. Top shelf service! Excellent knowledge and advice. Here is a company for others to strive to be.

Unprompted review
Universal-Solder, continue your good business.
All the items purchased from Universal-Solder except one (DC-DC Step-Up Switching Regulator like 7805, 0.9- 5 V input) arrived in good shape as tested. The defective item gave an output of only a few miilivolts for the range of input from 1V to 4V. I sent a similar report using your 'contact us' link, even asking if there could be some kind of compensation, but to no avail. I did not get any reply. Overall, I am satisfied with the other items and the pricing. One suggestion about the Bread Board Power Supply: Please consider covering / insulating the terminal ends in some fashion to avoid accidental short circuiting. Thanks.

Good turnaround time. Reasonable prices.
Good turnaround time. Time of order to time of shipping is very short. Shipping time is decent but that's Canada Post's responsibility.
Prices are very reasonable.
Shopping Canadian is a priority over Chinese suppliers. If the item here is a dollar or two more, I'll shop here. Shipping is faster than from China as well.

Good electronic parts and assembly selection and service
This is a great site for electronics hobbyists, DIY and prototyping for any purpose. Selection is pretty good across the board and their website is effective. Delivery and service is great. Will continue to shop here, without a doubt!
