Quite often we get asked if we can order parts from SparkFun for some of the MindKits tinkerers and we're always happy to help out with this. It lets us know what kinds of kit you may like us to stock in the future, saves you the cost of shipping from the USA and the worry about if its going to arrive and we generally see our shipments delivered quicker than the usual.
So, what about pricing you may be asking? Well, the price almost always ends up being the USD price in NZD converted directly - this means it doesnt cost you any extra. Whats more, we're also happy if you want to consolidate shipments from existing MindKits stock and even if you'd like to come and pick up your goods in person and say hi (we're Auckland based).
So, if you'd like to order something from SparkFun to ship with our order this Friday the 5th June then let us know the SparkFun part number and the quantity and we'll order it in for you - hassle free. We'll give you the price in NZD and once you decide you're happy we'll add it to the order and you can transfer funds. Couldnt be easier! Contact us via the contact form or Tim@MindKits.com
