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

Excellent rising cage terminal blocks
The parts came quite quickly with no problem. These were terminal blocks which use a "rising cage" inside to clamp the wire. When you back it off to insert the wire it opens up fully. Excellent little terminal blocks.

Fast Efficient and easy to navigate site
It is refreshing to find a site that actually caters to the electronic enthusiast. They could have more products but I sure found a lot of needed and also nice to have components and ready made modules. Apart from the standard stuff if you are into micro controllers (Arduino etc...) this place is for you. I also smile when I see the very reasonable prices. The only thing that could be slightly better would be to drop the price from $200 down a bit to get free shipping but apparently this was the way they found to keep overall prices down during this years large price increases (we still come out ahead). The big plus for me is that the company is in Canada, this is critical as I prefer encouraging a Canadian company.

Thank you for your awesome review. It was a decision we made in favour for low prices that we changed the free shipping threashold from first 70, then 80 and then 100 CAD to 200 CAD in the last 2 years. But that way we were able to compensate for the much higher cost of goods (about 50% plus within a year) by rising our prices by only about 20% compared to 2019.
