⚠️ Important update (2026)

Starting January 1st, 2026, due to an international agreement of the World Postal Union (UPU), postal services no longer allow goods to be sent as registered letters with tracking. This rule applies worldwide, including the European Union.

What this means:

• All standard shipments are sent without tracking
• Each shipment will contain a reference number
• This number does NOT allow tracking the shipment’s movement
• In case of loss, the postal service may be able to investigate the shipment
• The reference number serves as proof that the shipment was sent

Tracking / safer shipping option

Tracked shipping is possible only by purchasing an upgraded shipping method (shipment as a regular parcel): 👉 https://www.tindie.com/products/18508/

• This option provides proper tracking and safer handling, but requires additional shipping costs.

Thank you for your understanding. These shipping rules are defined by international postal regulations and are outside of my control.

📦 Ready to Ship All products I offer are pre-built, tested, and ready for immediate dispatch. I maintain inventory of finished items to ensure you receive a quality-tested product as quickly as possible. I'm committed to shipping your order as soon as possible – typically within 1-2 business days of receiving payment.

🔧 What I Sell I primarily offer two types of products:

• Bare PCBs – for advanced makers who want to source and solder their own components
• Finished products – fully assembled, tested, and ready to use

Please note: I do not sell complete component kits or beginner assembly sets. My products are designed for intermediate to advanced electronics enthusiasts who are comfortable with soldering and component sourcing. Why This Approach? I want to work with experienced makers who have solid soldering skills and electronics knowledge. However, I've designed my PCBs to be as builder-friendly as possible:

• Minimal component count – simpler builds, fewer parts to source
• Easy-to-find components – standard parts available from common suppliers
• Clear labeling – all component values printed directly on the PCB next to each footprint

💰 Pricing Transparency You'll notice my PCB prices are higher than ordering directly from mass manufacturers. Here's why: Every product represents months of intensive development, multiple prototype iterations, and several failed batches before reaching perfection. The pricing reflects:

• Extensive R&D and testing cycles
• Small-batch artisan production
• High-quality materials and components
• Continuous design improvements

The fact that each piece is handcrafted at home, not mass-produced in a factory

When you purchase from me, you're supporting independent hardware development and getting a unique, collectible piece of functional art that you won't find anywhere else.

✨ What Makes My Products Special

• Handcrafted in small batches – each piece made with care
• Constantly evolving designs – every batch can include improvements
• Not just hardware, but functional art – unique, one-of-a-kind creations
• Smarter design with fewer components
• Retro spirit meets modern innovation
• Perfect for makers, retro enthusiasts, learners, and collectors
