Not only do we sell robotic kits and basic electronics, but we are also a growing robotics community.

About Us

MindKits was established in December 2008 by Tim Carr after seeing a lack of sites supporting New Zealanders in learning robotics and physical computing. After working away Sundays tinkering Tim decided it was time there was a site that not only sold robotics kit, sensors and Arduino but was a place for a community around robotics to grow and have somewhere to share ideas and learning in New Zealand and now Australia too.

MindKits was born out of the need to build a framework to make it easy for interested bright sparks to enter into the world of robotics and feel supported along the way.

The MindKits elves are passionate to see you learn and grow and are determined to be New Zealands number one robotics and Arduino site!

Thanks for being here and have fun

Phone: Tim on +6421733626 please be aware that we are New Zealand based (GMT +12) and your time to call may be the middle of the night for us. We'd hate to wake the MindKits elves - they get grumpy

Shipping

We charge $6 for shipping in Auckland or $7.50 for shipping throughout New Zealand and usually pickup takes place the next day and delivery the following business day. Any issues just get in contact with us as we have tracking numbers for all shipments.

If you have special shipping requests just use the contact us form to let us know.

We ship internationally and accept payment via PayPal for international orders. 
Shipping to Australia is $12.50NZ and usually takes 4-6 working days.

We've got this process down to a fine art now and we see reports that we deliver with better service and quicker than Australia based Arduino outlets.

 

Nobody likes it when things go missing in the post and its difficult for both parties. We're happy to work with you to start a trace with the courier company and find the easiest way to get a replacement to you. We're happy to go out of our way to make shipping quick and painless and if something does go wrong we give you our promise to help get it resolved through available channels.
