What people say

The miniware measure pliers is not a good product

Miniware DT71 Mini Digital Tweezers is not switching off automatically when the instrument is set to automatic. The voltage measurement does not work at all. Instead it sequentially displays the Cx- and Lx value and a mV reading when measuring 12V DC. When using the instrument when the + is on -, it says 'negative' and does not display a value. It is 2023 outside! So in total I am really unhappy with this instrument

We are very sorry to hear this. Have you already contacted our customer service department about this? I can't find an email from you about this matter. In fact, if you are not satisfied with a product or there is a defect you can always send us an email first and we will do our best to find a solution. It is a bit of a pity that you do not give us a chance to offer a solution first. You can contact us at [email protected] so we can look at a solution. Cindy from Elektor

Order process OK but poor packaging.

Order process OK, but packaging poor. A small circuit board was packaged with book in pouch. Pins on the board were bent in shipping. Board needed protective packaging! The date field will not permit me to edit it to the correct date (Placed on 19 Feb. 2023 22:34:34). FIX YOUR SOFTWARE! Circuit board had only bent pins which I straightened. it is fully functional.

Thank you very much for your feedback. We have passed this on to our distribution center and will look for a solution. Can you use the board or is it defective? If so, please let us know at [email protected] Cindy from Elektor

I enjoy the way the magazine and website present the information from both an article and project perspective. The projects and the kits based off them are of a high quality and well detailed. As a result I find Elektor in general a great source of learning as well as being an enjoyment to read and where I have the time make the projects.

That is very nice to read. Glad you are so satisfied with our products. Cindy from Elektor

Great customer service

Great customer service, clear advice and assistance in dealing with delivery issue. Interesting and educational computer project kits, especially the Arduino Uno Experimenting kit, everything you need to get going is included and good value.

I've bought few e-books and kits recently from Elektor which has always been a positive experience. For one of the purchases there was a software glitch and I had to contact with customer services - the issue was resolved on the same day.

We are pleased to hear that the problem could be solved. Enjoy your books en kit. Cindy from Elektor

Best company from which to buy applied electronics texts

The shopping experience was fantastic: simple and fluid like the product purchased! It's not the first time I've bought from Elektor and this latest purchase confirms the seriousness of the company and the quality of the content.

That you for this review! We are happy to hear that you were able to order without any problems. Looking forward to your next order. Cindy from Elektor.

Don't buy there for shipping outside of EU

In case of shipping to Switzerland, don't buy there! They charge you a lot for the shipping (in my case >10 €) and it is not DDP :-(. I had to pay another 27€ for customs treatment and taxes on delivery. For products of less then 100€ value, it is an expensive experience!!!!

Reply from Elektor Store2023-02-06

For technical reasons we charge a flat rate for shipping and handling in lieu of variable amounts based on size and/or weight. In some countries the amount for shipping and handling is higher than others because we send everything from our warehouse in the Netherlands. Because 95% of our shipments are standard packages, we use this rate as a starting point. It might therefore be that in exceptional cases you will pay more postage than required for your package. Unfortunately we cannot make any changes to this at this time. In furtherance, this situation provides no basis for compensation. When you live outside the EU and order with us, you do not pay VAT in our webshop. You do pay this to customs when the order arrives in your country. Cindy from Elektor

I wholeheartedly recommend Elektor.

1. Quick delivery 2. The items were well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. 3. The boards, SoCs and electronic accessories that I received all worked perfectly as expected.

Thank you for this review! It is great to hear that the order was delivered quickly and that you are satisfied with our products. Cindy from Elektor

Goods arrived Thur Jan 19th

Goods arrived - it would have been better to supply a tracking number with the invoice receipt - Australia Post is becoming less reliable.

Thank you for your review. The tracking information is always sent automatically to the e-mail address that was used to place the order. Perhaps it ended up in your spambox? Cindy from Elektor
