The quality may be questionable, but you can get a lot of these things on aliexpress.com . Shipping is usually free, but you'll likely have to wait a month for delivery. The payments are escrowed through aliexpress and only released to the seller when you've confirmed you've received the item (which you should only do after you've tested the item and confirmed that it works fine). resistors: http://www.aliexpress.com/category/400503/resistors.html soldering irons: http://www.aliexpress.com/category/144003/electric-soldering-irons.html heat shrink tubing: http://www.aliexpress.com/category/141903/insulation-materials-elements.html On Tue, Feb 24, 2015 at 3:17 PM, William Witteman <wwitteman@gmail.com> wrote:
This is off topic, but I thought I might get some advice here.
I have been asked to make a small electronic device. I have instructions, but the supplies are sourced from US or UK companies, which of course incur heavy shipping and exchange-rate taxes.
Does anyone have a source for electronics gear (I'll need a bluetooth LE module, a Wixel, battery, resistors, heat-shrink tubing, a small enclosure, soldering iron, etc) in Canada, or someone you've had good experiences with?
Thanks!
