Branded solder supplies in New Zealand??
« on: May 16, 2022, 10:37:03 pm »
Hello,
   Is there a supplier of branded solder supplies in New Zealand? Multicore, Kester etc. I'm having a hard time with unbranded (overpriced) solder and de-solder wicks (that don't seem to have flux).

Maybe I'm doomed to have to order anything of quality from overseas?

I'm in Australia, but I've bought irons from them without any issue before

I've used Synergy Electronics, so I'd second that.  Another option is Baskiville:

Look...it's not as simple as that. Many places that appear to be NZ stockists are simply shipping in with multi week lead times from all over the world. But thanks :D

Given the two suggestions above came up in positions 1 and 3 (and position 2 was element14 who explicitly state the shipping origin and expected delivery date) its pretty clear you didnt do even the most basic of searches. Or, explained your problem....

One of the mysteries is the internet is that not everybody gets the same search results. I get element14 where when I recently checked and falls into the category of , we just ship stuff from overseas. I don't get Synergy Electronics or Baskiville when I use that search term. I do however find them when I search for..by name one of the specific products.

Maybe to avoid pedant triggering in future I'll be sure to include "seeking recommendations" in my ask.  :-DD
