Last summer during a Solarbotics Robotics for Educators session, one of the teachers noted something about many of the mainstream robotics and electronics learning platforms commonly used in classrooms.

Holiday Shipping

Another year has snuck by, and here we are on the cusp of another winter holiday season!
If you want to give a Solarbotics Kit (and we hope you do...) to somebody special this year, you should be aware of our shipping deadlines. It's not recommended to use ground shipping now (which can take up to 3 weeks), so unless if you celebrate Ukrainian Christmas (January 7th), go with these guidelines:
- For US orders, your option is Purolator/DHL Courier (2 business days, so Wednesday the 20st by 2:00pm MST at the latest!).
- Domestic (Canadian) orders get an extra day or so leeway. For Western Canada your options are Xpresspost (2-3 business days - Dec.19) and Purolator (1-2 business days - Dec.20 before 2:00pm MST).
- Eastern Canada should use Purolator (1-2 business days - Dec.20 before 2:00pm MST).
- Atlantic Canada can use Purolator (1-2 business days - Dec.20 before 2:00pm MST). International orders even have less time, so check your list and get your shopping done!
