Sparkfun offers good stuff Sparkfun offers unusual and useful things, sometimes on small boards that makes them accessible to people who do not yet have PCB design skills. And they make a lot of good information available on their website. A good outfit and the kind I enjoy doing business with.

Have been ordering parts from SparkFun… Have been ordering parts from SparkFun for many years and have never had a problem. Really appreciate that they're out there. I think they're doing a great service to us who enjoy electronics from hobbyist to professionals.

Easy to find layout and schematics Easy to find layout and schematic, in better than pdf or Gerber (i.e editable eagle files). This saves the additional steps is having to search for these open source files on git (like SparkFuns' competitor mandates)

One Stop Shop for Electronic Prototypes Sparkfun is an excellent source of educational and prototype electronic goods. They are a distributor and manufacturer you can trust for small batch prototypes. Rather than prototype my own boards from scratch, I often start with a Sparkfun assembly and then branch out later. Sparkfun is a one stop shop for most of your IoT electronics needs.

Great experience with Sparkfun My experience with Sparkfun is so good because they always have excellent tutorials and code examples for the gear I buy from them. Although my applications are often unique, their stuff is practically plug and play.
