Placing the order was straightforward, I was pleased to find the products needed at good prices. My only concern was with your courier. They scheduled delivery with me for Friday 30th June between 09:21 and 10:21 - they didn't turn up OR notify me. Then I checked the website and found they were rescheduling for 09:21 - 10:21 on Monday 3rd July. So I arranged my day accordingly AGAIN this changed to 12:07 - 13:07 on Monday 3rd July I happened to to find out for myself via the website late on Sunday and again rearrange my day to be there for delivery. I was notified by text at 08:13 on the Monday morning - a good job I had already looked it up?? I can't complain about your products, but perhaps your courier needs to be better at communicating!! The order was needed by the Monday (not on the Monday) hence why I placed the order when I did. I had to find an alternative product (it was the boxes I needed) in my local town at twice the price and not half as good a product over the weekend so I had them for a meeting with my Sales Rep at 9am Monday morning. You can appreciate my dilemma...!

Who says they made me happy. I DO get irritated with zero stock items, but the staff are always polite and helpful

The Piggyaxe Joule Thief Kit is fairly easy to assemble. The PCB is of very good quality, there are only 6 parts to be soldered (no coils have to be wound) and the manual is well written. The manual has to be downloaded from the vendors web page, a paper print isn't included. The Joule Thief flash light isn't as bright as ordinary commercial flash lights nowadays, but it runs on "empty" batteries (!) and has a nice case with switch. The shipment arrived after 2 days here in Switzerland (DHL courier). Unfortunately, the kit had included the wrong LEDs (red 5mm) instead of bright white 3mm LEDs. After getting back at the customer service, the right LEDs arrived after 1 week (free of charge). Summary: the kit is a good project for beginners, with good value for money. It is not very bright but it comes complete with a nice case.

I've dealt with this company since their catalogue was about 30 pages. Over the years they have been very innovative and still sell a lot of quality products but some items are cheap and not so cheerful if you know the market.

No problem with the quality of goods supplied. My only grouse is that the minimum spend before free delivery is high when compared with some of your major competitors.

Rapid certainly lives up to it's name with very prompt deliveries. It also has a wide range of stock to cater for the professional and hobbyist alike.
