“Great service. Bad UPS”

Robert G.
3/18/18

Ordering and price was great. Unit shipped same day. Great service. Only thing I have is that I hope shipping could be little better. When box arrives it had few visible areas where it was rather dropped or some other heavier object placed during shipping. Still my unit looks ok and initially working. This is a general problem with UPS

“Counterfeit Parts”

I ordered a "3312 adapter" from circuit specialists. The product was shipped quickly and without any transaction issues. The one major problem is that this adapter is using counterfeit serial converter chips and therefore the drivers do not work in Windows 8.1 or higher.

I ordered a breadboard with a power supply. This is really top quality. Exceptional connectors. Nice solid structure. Excellent stability. The order status was clearly communicated to me. Tracking information was sent. Everything was securely packed with absolutely no shipping damage. I paid at least 30% less than the same item available from other sellers. This was a great purchase. I'm Very happy.

The CSI Premier worked as advertised out of the box. Time will tell how well it continues to work but so far, so good, especially considering its price point. Has more features than units costing much more. The one year warranty is not commonly found in this price range, with some of the competitors offering only 30 days which, in some instances, is not even enough time to verify proper operation. I like it.

This particular model of O-Scope meets all of my requirements and does so at a very reasonable price. The O-Scope was properly packaged to prevent damage while in transit and upon arrival there were absolutely no issues with it's condition. I have yet to have the time to begin the process of learning all the functions, but the few I have investigated are perfect. Job well done Circuit Specialists.

I purchased a power supply with no issues using the website. I had a question, and customer service responded to me within a few minutes via email. First time users of the website also receive a 5% discount. Shipping info was quickly provided, and the item was delivered fast. Great experience; no problems.

I ordered a PC based oscilloscope late last week and it got here within 4 days. I am very pleased with the quality and care taken in packing and shipping this item. I also am happy with the product build quality and durability along with the small form factor. I could not afford a large, bulky standard oscilloscope, and this product opened up a new facet in diagnostic capability on my work bench.

The courier had the wrong address, incorrect phone number, had to pay a brokerage fee before they corrected the address. Courier would only take a online payment, not cash. Delivery was delayed three days because of this. Do not deal with DHL. Last purchase with circuit specialists I never had this problem.

I could tell that the scope had been returned. After using it for awhile I know why. It's the logic analyzer part. The connector area of the wire that goes in to the push clips were a little dirty. Probably because they don't stay on the push clips. I put 8 on and 6 fell on the floor. Also, there is no stress relief on the ribbon cable connected to the DB25. Maybe they should drop this model from their line.

Circuit Specialists has established a great balance between quality and cost, leading to great value for the dollar. Their savvy regarding useful tools and components has led me to make a number of advantageous purchases. As a consequence, I always review their email flyers for new products and buying opportunities. I recommend them as a resource for electronic supplies.

Price is right for the equipment and the quality is good. The shipping cost were a little high however, it did arrive within a couple days from US to Canada so it was worth the extra cost. Very happy with everything, thanks

The variac was the best price that I found. It arrived fairly quickly and was packed extremely well so it was in pristine shape. In fact, others could learn from you on how to pack a box so it arrives safely. I just did a quick test and everything is working as it should. I can't wait to use it to get my tube amp fired up once I fix it. Thanks!

I have been a happy customer for years now an I hope it stays that way. I rely on them for all my electrical needs. They have some very good items and they do not disappoint. He first time I may have had my doubts but after a while I realised that I was wrong to have doubts. It has been a great service all the way.

They really know what they are doing. Unlike other stores that sell electrical items without actually knowing how they work, they happend to do and can answer all of the questions you throw at them to find out of the product is really worth buying or not. They are also always ready to answer calls which makes me like them more. Deliver is ok and so is the packaging.

They really are circuit specialists and they offer the best products. If you are an electrical person then you can get all of the tools you need from them. I ordered a voltmeter and some other tools and they have been working just as I needed them to. I am satisfied with what I got.

Great service. I had some questions about the voltmeter that I wanted to order and I called them up. They picked my call on the first try and answered all of my questions. At the end of the call I knew what I wanted. That was some very good customer service. The delivered the item in a short time period and It is what I needed. Never been disappointed.

I have ordered several items from this company and both times they came through with flying colors. The response to emailed questions have been rapid and to the point. Shipments go right out the door if they have the item in stock. I fully intend to order more equipment in the future.

I bought a voltmetre from them and it is an original that has been working perfectly since I got it. It will be buying more items because it seems like they got everything when it comes to what I need. The delivery took just the right amount of time and I am glad.

Ordered about 2 dozen items from Circuit Specialists and received my order in a matter of days. Great products at great prices with fast delivery. This is my 2nd order in the final quarter of this year.

Over all i was very happy with the time of delivery (only took about 6 days) and the way the item was package. There was no way that that thing was going to break on the way here. And for the soldering station itself, couldn't ask for a better deal for a beginner it works like a charm.

I have been wanting an electronic load for years! I need is to test battery capacity, this guy is perfect for 100Ahr batteries. Easy to use and having the labview code sample is a great starter for future projects. Now I have only had this a week and have only tested 6 batteries but so far so good. Ordered it and received in under 5 days!

The pouch for the 10 piece pliers I ordered, item number HH*******SET arrived with a razor cut down the center of the middle of the pouch. Very disappointing that you would ship me a product in this condition.

The scope does not trigger well and the frequency counter is all over the map. The waveform is not clean, there is a lot of noise on it compared to an analog scope. I was using a 50mv 440Hz sine wave as a source. I troubleshoot a lot of noise problems, this scope is not suitable for that purpose.
