Core Electronics

SENT THE WORNG ITEMS AND WANTED A 15% RETURN SURCHARGE – Sudo Advertising . Fake drop shipping operation ! The company sent the wrong Poe hats for some pi5's that i ordered they actually sent pi 4 hats i order 3 poe's and three pi's surly they could work out the hats would be for the sbcs in the same order ( i can see how they managed the confusion as there in the same colored box's but that's all… Read more

as they are a totally different ). Then wanted a 15% return fee to restock as they claimed i had change of mind, when any normal person would assume items ordered were to work together or possible use some common sense to contact for clarification. (this online store and how its customer service, seriously point out why Australia has a retail crisis) There website was giving incorrect information and we have the photos, there also staff claimed they didn't even have the items in stock if i wanted to exchange items and i would get a store credit and i would have to bear the shipping costs for any returns and still lose 15% restocking fee . The customer service was appalling, one big run around trying to sort issues and one rep even hung up on phone when he was told there was a photo of website claim the item fitted pi5 and that i wanted to speak to the management. do not recommend this place

At last. A local company that beats AliExpress and Amazon – I have made 2 purchases from Core Electronics. My first purchase was a raspberry Pi Zero and two Pi Pico's. These were shipped to New Zealand. Core Electronics promptly dispatched my order, however it took about two weeks to arrive at my address in New Zealand. Shipping fees were very reasonable. My second order was for two game controllers.… Read more

These were shipped to a local address. Core Electronics dispatched my order the next day and the goods were received the day after.

The goods are of good quality as they come from well known manufacturers, were well packaged and arrived in good condition.

Surprisingly, the above goods were considerably cheaper than they would have been, had I purchased the exact same items on Aliexpress, Amazon.com or Amazon Australia, and the delivery time was a lot shorter.

I would definitely use Core Electronics again, and based on my experience to date, I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Can't beat the local guys – I usually go to eBay or Amazon, search for what I'm after & find the only supplier is in China. I order it then sit back & wait. This time with the current world situation I thought I'd see if there was a local business I could support. I was surprised to find Core Electronics Online store had exactly the parts I wanted and at a comparable price… Read more

to the China suppliers and they were local to me. I ordered them and had them in my hand within 38 hours.

The products were excellent quality. They emailed me when they got my order, when they packed and shipped my order and again after they were informed my items were delivered and they offered their assistance if I needed help with anything.

Graham is doing a great job at Core electronics and I couldn't have been any more pleased with their service, product range, prices and fast delivery. Congrats to Graham for keeping it local and keeping it competitive on a global level. Core Electronics will be my new go-to for my future electronics needs.

The quickest way to get high quality prototyping parts on my bench! Show details

Purchased from them many times over many years… No problems! So why the 1 star review right? Because when things go wrong, they go wrong, and its never anyones fault. It's how any situation is handled that define who they are, and in this case, required the one star review. Just rude and unpleasant to deal with. Lovely to deal with when… Read more

everything is going well, but it is how people handle situations when things are not going well that define them, and these people just didn't handle it well for me, one star.

I would love to think everyone just got out on the wrong side of the bed and it rolled into a bad day. But it left a bad taste in my mouth and had me being rude right back. I don't like being rude and found myself mirroring their behaviour. Ultimately I was being someone I am not while interacting with them. I decided it was better for me to walk away.

I put this here in the hope that core-electronics will improve. They certainly have a lot of 5 star reviews with comments like goods arrived promptly or arrived as per the description. If I didn't care I would walk away and never say anything. I have connections to Townsville so I have always paid the little bit more and enjoyed knowing I was supporting the community. Hopefully you do better next time.

Tried to pay, but Visa flagged as a scam (3d secure) Found an alternate site that worked without issue. Show details

unfortunately i had bad luck with this product as it did not work out of the box i raised this issue with core electronics and they suggested that i return the product for testing unfortunately the pi screen was part of our navigation system on our yacht and i could not wait the two weeks or more it would take to post the screen back to them and… Read more

have it tested . i explained this to them and asked if i could post the broken one back and have another one sent out so i could fix our navigation system before we set sail but they were unwilling to do that or even give me a refund i can understand that they have procedures for replacements but they were unwilling to make any effort to help a customer who spent a substantial amount on a product that they sent out faulted. i will write off the money i spent on this product and the bad experience of dealing with core electrons after sales as a learning experience that big companies do not give a shit about their customers.

the reason i post this negative review is to make others aware that this could also happen to them and if i could i would give a zero star review

Consistently reliable and excellent service. I’ve placed a lot of orders with them over the last few years, and every single time they ship exactly what I order, exactly when the product page said they would. I don’t even shop around anymore, if they have what I want, I order from them. If you’re working on electronics projects, I highly recommend them. Show details

First purchase, flawless service, delivery and packaging and Quick Launch brochure was amazing. Loved the stickers - highly recommend Core, I'll definately be back!

I purchased a 35KG High Torque Metal Waterproof Servo from Core Electronics and I am very happy with the item and the speedy delivery and update communications. I wanted a heavy duty servo for a demanding application in a model and I got it. The servo is encased in an aluminium case, has metal gears and a steel spline output shaft. It is much stronger than the usual low-cost, all-plastic servos and it can be made rotate through 180 degrees. Show details

Very happy with the item and delivery. Would buy again from Core Electronics. I especially liked how the item I wanted was on backorder. They gave clear lead times and it arrived when expected. Show details

I've ordered many things from Core Electronics, everything arrives quickly and well packaged. The customer support is excellent, very quick to help out with problems and replace anything that might have issues. 10/10, would highly recommend. Show details

Excellent product quality with reasonable price and their communication is outstanding. Keeps updating everything. Huge inventory with proper descriptions. Highly recommended. Show details

I've had no problems with the products I've bought and delivery times have always been good, but the best for me is the customer service and advice/help which has always been 5 stars. Thanks guys.

The service is always great. Orders are carefully tracked and arrive as promised. Great team who ensure you have all you need to get your job done. Highly recommended. Show details

I have ordered from Core Electronics numerous times, sometimes for hobby projects and sometimes for work. They are accurate with their shipping timelines and have never failed to deliver items as/when expected. Show details

Ordering was an easy and smooth process. Fair prices. Prompt delivery. Nice touch taping the bubble wrapped items to the inside of the shipping box, so they didn't move about. Show details

Delivery arrived way faster than expected. Item was well packed, and received in good condition. My Kids really liked the included stickers - a very nice touch. I would recommend Core Electronics for reliable fast delivery. Show details

Quality products and competitive pricing. This is increasingly rare nowadays. Very happy with the prompt delivery, and living in rural NSW, I was amazed how smoothly it went.. Also happy with the ordering process overall, the level of detail you provide in picking and packing is exceptional. Well done. Show details

The package arrived way quicker than I was expecting, and was packaged incredibly well as always. All the parts that I ordered arrived in the box, and I ended up buying more than I was originally planning to because I found more things that would be great to have on standby. Show details

Purchased a Raspberry Pi CM4. It was the easiest and super easy to find the variant I was after. Shipping and communications was first class all the way. They even checked in after delivery. Show details

Needed to replace a USB-A micro socket and decided to replace it with a USB-C, found a great unit here and it's worked really well. Very happy with the quick service. Will use Core Electronics again. Show details
