Important Notice for Our Canadian Customers May 20, 2025
Canada Post is currently scheduled to go on strike beginning Friday May 23rd. They are currently not accepting new packages, since they most likely will not be delivered it a timely manner. Accordingly, we are suspending shipments to Canada via First Class Post until the strike is settled. If you need something and cannot wait (i.e. you have an upcoming launch date), we can ship via DHL; let us know when you place your order and we will quote you the shipping charge. Expect it to be in the $40-$60 range depending on what you order.
A Note on Tariffs and Pricing May 21, 2025
We are closely monitoring the tariff situation, there are a number of components that we use that are produced overseas and may be subject to some very high-percentage tariffs. We just got a bill for some components today, with an 83.7% tariff charge on them. Rather than having to change prices on our products, we may add a tariff surcharge to your invoice if it contains certain high-value tariffed parts. We hate to do that, but we think you need to know how these tariffs are actually affecting our costs.
Announcing the Eggtimer Quark Easy Kit
The tried-and-true Eggtimer Quark dual-deploy altimeter is now available in an Easy Kit format. The Easy Kit has all of the itty bitty surface-mount parts pre-mounted on the PC board for you… all you need to solder are the buzzer, terminal block, two headers, and your battery connector. For just a few dollars more ($25 for the Easy Kit vs. $20 for the “standard kit”) you can save yourself a ton of time, great if you’re in a hurry or if you’re a beginner to electronic assembly.
Welcome to Eggtimer Rocketry!
If you’re looking for information and/or support for your Eggtimer altimeters, Eggfinder GPS Trackers, or other Eggtimer Rocketry products then you’re at the right place! All of our products are unique in that they are kits, we try our best to make them easy to assemble; we use through-hole parts or 0805-or-larger SMT parts to make assembly easier. It’s really not that hard, if you’ve ever built a kit from Ramsey or SparkFun then you won’t have any trouble building an Eggtimer Rocketry kit. We abide by the old Heathkit motto: “We won’t let you fail!”
