EDIT: Just received even more great service from DIY Electronics! Just goes to show how consistent you guys are about treating your customers well. Really really appreciate it thank you so so much!Absolutely amazing customer service! I would even go so far as to say that DIY Electronics have given me (and continue to give me) the best customer service Ive ever had from any shop :) And its a double whammy because they have the best and widest range of electronics and 3d printing supplies. I would recommend them without a shadow of a doubt! Thank you DIY Team!
Great customer service, from the email response,from the explanation of the delivery process, had the most best customer services given to me. This is how loyalty is retained through such communication and provision of solution, when a customer has an enquiry. Great work DIYelectronics, looking forward to using your services for a long time.
Great and prompt service from the technical team on my queries. Sent me all the info I needed for my installation in very little time after I submitted my query. Satisfyingly fast shipping from their store. I got the items I ordered promptly one day after my order was placed. In all a very good experience.
Great service.Been using them for some time, and I am never disappointed.
Now these guys have got it right from the start. I buy a lot from them, and I always get the best service, and I have no issues with any component they keep. Machine buying has to start at DIY Electronics first. Price and service is always right.
Thanx a lot for great and fast service. Worth mentioning is compliments to your process, from the time I ordered it to the time I received my order, the whole process was fast, convenient and easy to use.Thank you very much
Great customer service. As a regular buyer from this store, I recently experienced a need to return a faulty item. My issue was resolved by a Mr Brent who kept me updated each step of the way. They offered a full refund/replacement/credit voucher. The faulty item was a manufacturer defect and this online store upheld the warranty without hassle. Thank you sincerely.
They have a big product range and excellent prices. Support agents are also very quick to respond and are friendly and professional. My nr1 go to store.
We dont know anything, were just a distribution centre I came from out of town wanting to buy a gift but I dont know anything about 3d printing so I needed to ask a few questions first. They flatly refused to even listen to my question. Companies should never ever let their systems get in the way of personal service. Lucky for me there are OTHER companies in DBN North that do offer personal service, so I gave my money to them in stead.
Ongoing great service from DIYElectronics. Order today and goods delivered tomorrow morning ! Quality of items stocked are of consistently high quality, in addition to the wide range held.Keep up the great work......others could learn much from you.
Absolutely awesome service and professionalism from the beginning till delivery. Would recommend to everyone!
Ive been using DIYElectronics for all my oddball electronic needs for about 2 years now, 3d printer parts, arduinos, raspberry pis, variety of sensors, probes and other geeky stuff and every order went flawlessly, my experience with you guys have been great.PS, I didnt get a sticker with my last order lol!
Absolutely the worst customer service ever. Drive to them to collect 2 relays. New sign on the door says no more walk ins, order online and then you can collect. Collection says it’s the quickest and easiest way. Place and order, they don’t want to open the door. Says it will take an hour to pick the stock…”this is our process”(2 relays😂) then when I ask for a refund they say send a mail. “This is our process” . They couldn’t care less about customer service and gets arrogant instead of trying to make a plan to assist with something that should take seconds. Pathetic.
Phenomenal service received and on a very small order. These guys really go the extra mile! Highly recommend x
I emailed from the website and got a VERY quick reply and was able to place an order in minutes and in less than an hour i went from first enquiry, to response to placing an order to getting confirmation it was being processed. I highly recommend these guys!EDIT:WITHIN 24hours order was received in Gauteng!!! WOWOWOW guys! WOW!!
Very nice email support is very quick. The only thing you have to make your purchase online with their store. Which I think is fantastic. Before collecting you will be notified via email that the order is ready for collection. So do not go beforehand to collect.
Great service, Great stock, Great pricing.Can only recommend them, Never had any issues.
I was pleasantly assisted by Mr. Brent Woods from the DIY Electronics support team. My 3D printer refused to print out clean prints. I immediately emailed DIY and within a day Brent was assigned to my issue. He went beyond the norm of todays customer support. Not only did he make me aware of the issue that was causing my problem but he also provided me with a warranty replacement (without me even asking him to do so). This how companies should provide support for their customers! Thank you DIY Electronics and massive thank you to Brent!
Great quality service, very fast shipping. The best place for 3d Printers.
The speed at which they process your order is insane! Atleast 5 min after I had made payment my order was shipped another 10 min later it was in transit! Never came across such a quick process! And on top of that I needed to change my cell number so sent a message to them and within not even 5 minutes they had a mended it, I will never stop shopping at DIYElectronics!
Excellent customer service! They are always friendly and willing to help. The best hobbyist website Ive ever used
I had a very pleasant experience when inquiring about a new 3D printer for my company. Very helpful staff that are very knowledgeable in their field.Big thanks to Brent for the advice and the help.
Excellent pre -and after - sales support.1 day delivery to Pretoria!Lots of good electronic stuff to buy from them!Im definitely ordering more...Thank you!
Good store, good prices and wide range of items.Only star lost was due to the staff member standing at the door smoking and did not move to allow me fresh air while pressing the buzzer for assistance. Definitely unprofessional, complete disregard to my presence, and basically illegal to be smoking so close to a public entrance. I thought it was another customer just being inconsiderate, I was really surprised when I realised he works there.
Fast, efficient and well priced. Ordered delivery DBN to JHB. Placed order Tuesday late night and arrived Thursday morning. Superb!
Always have a nice experience when shopping at DIY Electronics. Orders are processed lightning fast and received at my home in JHB the next morning...Wow and well done guys.
Poor customer service not a place for people who are in a hurry for components because they are super slow with delivery and collection .
Only had excellent service from DIY.Bought a DIY Premium Kit from them years ago although I had endless problems I have to chalk ALL of it down to me being a noob.Anyway long story short, years down the line with moving house couple of times I needed to reprint some of the parts. They responded instantly to my request for printer stl files for a printer that was delivered 4 years ago.Great work guys and thanks for the support.
Excellent web layout and checkout processes with fantastic automated updates for order accepted, processing, completed and out for delivery. I have typically always got my delivery (in JHB) within 48hrs.Excellent! Highly recommend. Keep it up, DIYELECTRONICS.
Incredible service. I ordered a bunch of small, loose electronic components (FETs, BJTs, voltage regulators, etc.) and each set was neatly packaged and very well labeled. Plus this was delivered well within the estimated time.
Best service, best products, Best Prices, with the best people no more to say, great doing business with you
Been a customer for years and am always impressed with their product range and speed of delivery.
What a great experience. I ordered 10h30 Friday morning. 12h00 I received a shipped notice. Then fastway couriers added to the good experience.Im in Polokwane, all the way up to Limpopo, and I received my parcel today!Highly recommended!
Really good service.I received my Ender 2 V2 within one day after my purchase.Excellent feedback via email to inform you on where your package is in the pipeline between payment and delivery.Bought extra filament a few weeks after that and received it within 5 working days.Also keep an eye out for a few insane specials :D
I am very pleased with the great customer service and quick replies I received from DIY electronics. The staff are friendly and helpful and are very knowledgeable on all things electronics. I would definitely recommend DIY Electronics to anyone and everyone. Thank you DIY Electronics :)
Great stock at a competitive prices and hassle free delivery. Super happy with all of my purchases so far!
Quick delivery, but my experience with several orders has shown that they often supply hardware that is defective and refuse returns or just delay until its no longer worth the customers time.Most recently, the 3d printer I ordered was delivered broken and missing a part. After weeks of waiting and following up for a solution from DIY Electronics they eventually informed me they will send a replacement part so I can repair the broken machine they sold me. Buyer beware!
If you are expecting decent service, You are the wrong place.Do not respond on e-mails and take excessively long for parcel to arive.
Not great, Ive tried calling for 4 days and no answer. Arrive to try and get a component and they wont let me in, but do allow in store pickup.Had to stand outside and order online to collect from inside. If only they answered the phone to tell me this instead of through a locked gate.
Pathetic service, nobody answers there phone and the parts I purchased broke after using it for only a day, wont spend any more money purchasing from this store.
Incredibly impressed with the service and speed of delivery from date of order. Well done, will recommend to anyone.
Received my order in good condition. Quick delivery. No hassles.
DIY Electronics is one of the cheapest companies, however their current procedure of buying and collecting order(door to door) the way they delay its not satisfactory: I was at their place and had to make purchase online which was fine but also had to wait for 2hours to get my order, not a pleasant experience as this was the first time they did this.
Store front closed due to Covid but Im glad I was able to find it.
You have to order online. Allow time to process order before collection. Lots of items out of stock. Parking is limited. Package is sanitised.
Just called the guys im new to this stuff and just wanted to found out if a printer can print abs or not before i buy there is no one that can help me. They just tell me to email support i just wanted to talk to someone , so i guess i will buy from another store
Customer support is terrible. They shipped a SD card with a raspberry pi kit that didnt work, and its taken four days and a phone call to them to get a response which was a short email (that basically asked if I was sure there is something wrong)How do you take over 24 hours to get back to a customer?Incredibly disappointed at the joke that you call customer service.I should have just paid the like R50 more and brought from elsewhere
I do love DIY Electronics and ive been buying from them for around 6 years or so. I obtained a large order for 200 stepper motors so I gave them a call to find out stock, availability, lead times, discounts etc and was simply told Sorry youll have to check our website. Even after telling the lady over the phone that the order is confirmed for 200 units, her response was still to order it from the online store, no negotiation or help was offered whatsoever. As the name implies, the company seems to only be focused on the DIY community and couldnt be bothered with larger bulk orders. Placed an order from another electronic store for the motors which were R170k. Wouldve been easy money in their pocket if they could train their sales team to assist customers properly.EDIT: Theyve turned to an online only store since Covid but refuse to answer their phones for any product assistance. Bought a number of protocol converters which came with Chinese power adapters, tried to get assistance on replacing them for use with SA plugs, however, its impossible to get hold of them. Spent the money on a product which comes incomplete and had to purchase another set of adapters from Communica for R1150 for an order of R4750 from DIY. Send out emails about 7 months ago and never got technical assistance. I had to email the manufacturers support team in China to get help. Ive supported these guys since 2014/2015. I think this is the last time I order from them, i rather pay extra and/or wait longer for my product from another store which cares about their customers. They only care for customers who require 3D printers, they should probably look at changing their business name as they no longer cater for the DIY electronics market.
This place is unbelievably awesome. Great service
I have used them for multiple orders and there has never been an issue. Service is quick and I have always had next day delivery which is absolutely fantastic although not necessary. They will continue to get my support with service like this!
Online shop only. Wanted to physically see some 3D printers, without success. Bought unit unseen online - excellent online service. Thank you guys.
Unfortunately they are very slow to respond to and sort out problems. I have sent email, phones and was told my ticket would be escalated but still no reply. I am sitting with a brand new 3d printer that was supposed to be a birthday present for my son that does not work.
The items I ordered arrived timeously and the team at DIY were very helpful when I had technical issues. Booking in my components for repair was pretty painless and the technical department managed to solve the problem I was having. I can definitely recommend DIY!
Good selection of parts. Good prices
So I called this place to ask about advice on getting started with a 3D printer. I’ve never owned one but I am keen to get one. I needed to speak to someone as I have a lot of questions to see which model is ideal to address my needs.Instead the lady that picked up said I must send an email. She could not put me through to speak to a sales person nor could she take my number to get someone to call me back.It’s like she was not interested in me wanting to purchase from them.Now if this is the attitude on pre-sale imagine the after sales support will be even worse.Maybe the owner is not aware of what his staff is up to.
Very well priced and stock gets packed same day for collection.
An absolute pleasure to deal with, I just entered the 3D printing scene and Lee helped me without hesitation. I am very happy with everything, delivery was within 2 days and came well packaged. Will be buying from them again.
Absolutely superior service! The transaction started with a few questions about the product which were answered quickly. Lee patiently answered all of my questions. About 28 hours later I had my 3D Printer.
They request to send proof of payment which i did. But still needed to wait for funds to clear.🤷🏽♂️ Other than that friendly service.. goods came well packaged. I do recommend and will use them again.
Horrifying support. Dont know if its just coronavirus layoffs since I had heard they were good from someone else.Sent an email asking for specific parts and to place an order.No response after almost a week.Phoned in, asking politely if I could place an order for the parts.Indian woman answered, rudely told me to send an email and immediately hung up.Seriously dont know what on earth is going through their minds if they think they can keep customers with this kind of garbage, rude and unhelpful customer service. Absolutely shocking.
Order was processed very fast! Also, very nice website and products. Will use them again for sure.
Selling substandard part along with poor customer service. Dont buy from them you will loose your money and even your house.DO NOT BUY FROM THE!MONEY HUNGARY CROOKS ONLY TO CON YOU OUT OF MONEY.
Pathetic after sales service. Google diyelectronics reviews
The best online ordering experience I have ever had from an electronics store. Super fast delivery. They even re-sent my package very quickly after one of their couriers got hijacked. Always check with these guys before you order elsewhere!
Its a online store only. Purchasing takes 1 hour
I ordered a 3D printer from DIYElectronics. I spoke through email to a person called Lee and he was extremely helpful.The printer came the next day (to Joburg from Durban) and the printer came with all of its pieces and was in working order. All the prints that I have done came out successful.Service 10/10Product 10/10I will recommend DIYElectronics to everyone!
Great value for money. Quick and friendly service. Awesome hobiest experience.
I received excellent service from the DIY Electronics support team. Customer service is fast and provides information that is both easy to understand and is helpful. I appreciate and commend DIY Electronics for great service.
Made my order on tuesday received it on thursday afternoon in cape town, very happy
Both the service and prices were great, and they have a good selection in the online store. There was a slight delay with the courier service used (understandably so, the order was around the Christmas period), but the support team were quick to respond and resolve the issue once I brought it to their attention.Overall, 10/10 would recommend. 12/10 with rice.
Bought a DIYELECTRONICS PRUSA I3 Premium KIT a week or so ago, got the package with no visible damage and happy with the courier delivering it quite fast and correctly. That is where the good experience stops.As it is a DIY kit I start to assemble it piece by piece according to the manual to find the first head ace, the LM8UU bearings. First off they look second hand and the bearings have deep marks and rust marks on the bearings as if they where ripped from an old machine. Some even having grinder marks on them as if they where grinded to fit a different unit. Let me not even mention how pathetically they did the job of sliding on the linear rods.Take it as is as people do make mistakes and bearings not costing so much I knew I could source some new ones and continued with the build just to get to the second head ache.No M8 hobbed bolt in the extrude package included in the kit. One of the most important parts and hard to source items (not even listed on there own websites). Send an email to there support email explaining the situation and how this can be resolved. This was on the 15/09/2020 where by Lee Govender apologized and said they will look into the matter.And so we continue with the build just to get to the next head ache, take the screen out of its packaging to find a nice big dent in the screen, wire the screen up to see if it still works and nothing displays.Yet again I reach out to the team on the already open support ticket just to get no reply.After following up daily the only reply I get is that Lee Govender is looking into the issue.So after spending R8000 on the printer, another R200 on new bearings I still do not have a 3d printer that is working. So much for supporting local companies when they treat there customers like this.
Prompt delivery all goods as advertised
I was busy with a diy project and wasnt too sure about which components to get. I sent a message to the support desk and got a quick reply from the team, advising me on which components to get. They also supplied links to the products in their email, so no fussing about trying to find it on the website. The checkout and payment procedures were easy and painless!Great job guys. You will be my first port of call for future projects!
Really good service.The time delay between order and processing is very good andtheir response to queries is always really quick.In addition, they have a lot of stock of various parts which made them (almost) a one stop shop for my 3D printer building needs...
Excellent service!When I order components from them it usually arrives within a day or two.They are always ready to answer any questions that I may have via email, even at 2 in the morning! They are also always very friendly and try to help me with anything that I may struggle with.Their prices are also great and their products are of the best quality.
Super fast friendly service! They get their orders out fast and to you in record time! Always a pleasure dealing with them!
Prices are good but after sale help/service leaves much to be desired. Expect days wait between email correspondence and, even then, they provide absolutely basic help into solving your issues without clear direction of what might be the issue and sometimes even providing solutions that do not even apply to your machine.If you are new to 3D printing they are not recommended, I was often advised by them that this is a learning experience i.e. you are on your own, good luck!
If i could choose half a star or no star wouldve been better.... i bought a endsr 5 pro printer from DIYElectronics and after 3 days I am having issues with the extruder thats not taking up filament. DIYElectronics dont even have a phone number to contact the support team. No back up whats so ever. I mailed the support team and they told me to check without any filament if its working which it is but with the filament it doesnt. Support says its not a warranty claim as its works without filament. Doesnt even make sense. Just here to take peoples money.... stay away
Placed an order and received it next day... delivered to Gauteng! This was absolutely amazing service and I wish other online stores can follow the example of DIY Electronics! Thank you so much for making other companies look bad :-)
Online order was processed promptly, I recieved it a day after placing my order. Manged to find a few items I could not get else where as well. Very Happy with the service received from DIY Electronics
Always had good service and delivery on time. Prices are competitive and always stocks available. I recommend DIY for all electronics as well as 3D print requirements.
I rarely if ever do this but I feel that I just have to say how great and fantastic it is to purchase from DIYE.It is always a pleasure and most exciting to purchase something from them and then looking forward to my packages arriving all neatly wrapped.Thank you very much for excellent service and 10/10 will recommend DIYE.High 5 to each and every person there!
Would easily recommend this store to anyone. I’ve ordered from them many times and not a single issue. My only complaint is that you cant trust their reviews, as they only post the glowing/5 Star ones. First look at real reviews before purchasing.
The quality of service that I have received was absolutely brilliant. I bought some equipment from them, one of the items turned out to be faulty, and they replaced it without any fuss. Customer service is often considered rare and even more unheard of with after sales service, DIYElectronics have set the new standard in this regard!
Always helpful.
These DIY Electronics guys rock! My order is always processed and shipped promptly. They really make a point of being helpful and has always gone over and above to assist me. Thanks guys! Much appreciated!
Really good service. Shipping was super fast from Durban to Johannesburg and product was in perfect condition. Highly recommended.
I received the package very quickly... I got the system NEMA 17 Closed Loop Stepper Motor - MKS SERVO42A with Display and it worked flawlessly.
Q: Whats DIYs favorite saying.A: Its out of stock.
Great service from Lee and staff at DIY !! they process their online orders super fast!! shipping my stuff the same day as the order was placed.. love it !well done guys, really impressive service during a Covid lockdown !
Fast and efficient communication, great at getting what you need when you need it, i needed something urgently shipped for the next day and sure enough i receive it the following morning after fairly late notice for over night shipping. didnt wait more than 15 min before getting a response when emailing. Great service!
The team was very helpful to advise a new person like me on what to purchase for their first printer. The also respond very quickly to the email questions I have send them.
Very helpful in person. Got me set up quickly
While they are a bit out of the way it was so worthwhile the visit.Most of my purchases from Diy Electronics have been on the web - definitely a recommend there as well - but as we were in the area we popped in to see their setup.Small but friendly is an apt description of our experience. They were surprisingly busy for a web supplier with customers popping in pretty much non stop. But cheerful receptions greeted us all.
No help from staff, refused to even look at what i needed. Have to order online and collect, but have no idea what its called... Hence that is why I went to shop so they can identify item and then I can order online...
So I ordered a printer, I picked up a small part issue, the team from DIY Electronics were on it immediately, replacing it without any issue, always keeping me updated on progress, WOW, WOW and WOW. Special thanks to Lee Govender.
Out standing service, Always willing to help!!Amazing products that are great value for your money!
Great and very reliable, quick Turnaround Service from DIYElectronics. Young team offering the tinker at home options.. Thank You DIYE!!
