They can use USPS for shipping which for small light orders saves a lot over UPS and Fedex. Customer service is excellent, and their web interface allows me to save items I order regularly which saves me time. I have had to return one shipment and Jameco refunded my money promptly with no headaches.","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Jameco\/review\/1962765#comment1962765","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Jameco.jpg","store_name":"Jameco Electronics","username":"krohla","rating":"5"}, "single");){kind=link}
![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"Whenever I need to build a power supply or amplifier I reach for my Jameco catalog because they offer reasonably priced components for the experimenter\/hobbyist. I do not need MIL grade components at military component prices.<br>Also their ordering is super simple - just call up the quick order screen and type in the part numbers of your components selected from their catalog. They ship super fast and my parts are always what I ordered!!!! I have never received a wrong part or ever had to return a defective part.<br>","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Jameco\/review\/1952513#comment1952513","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Jameco.jpg","store_name":"Jameco Electronics","username":"WdeVore","rating":"5"}, "single");){kind=link}

![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"I\u0027ve been dealing with Jameco over 2 years. Great prices & shipping is very fast. No problems with any order. Easy to find needed parts. I had a project with unusal transistor. They don\u0027t have it. I e-mailed their technical service dept. for any ideas what to use. Tony Green replied promptly, he needed more info. I sent schematic & parts list. He promptly replied again with their part # and why it would work as opposed to one I thought of using. I placed my order for 30 plus other parts from them as soon as he replied. Their tech service is great as is the rest of company. Try Jameco & you will become a regular customer. Check out Club Jameco for buying or selling kits. You desgin, they supply parts they carry & sell kit You get paid for every kit of yours sold. Great idea. They do not send spam.","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Jameco\/review\/1757902#comment1757902","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Jameco.jpg","store_name":"Jameco Electronics","username":"Vark49","rating":"5"}, "single");){kind=link}

I like the fast shipping and quality of the items I receive. The shipping options are good and reasonable for the basic UPS ground shipping.<br><br>Bob, Bakatronics.com","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Jameco\/review\/1756490#comment1756490","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Jameco.jpg","store_name":"Jameco Electronics","username":"Bakatronics","rating":"5"}, "single");){kind=link}
![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"EDIT: Surprisingly soon after posting my review on Reseller Ratings, Yvette at Jameco replied to my concerns about some technical confusion with shipping costs. <br><br><br>Basically, I purchased some items and the shipping was labeled \u0022to be determined\u0022. I trusted the business, and essentially wrote a carte blanche for shipping which ended up being higher than I expected, based on estimates listed on the website. I called customer service to try to cancel the order, but the package had already been sent, and nothing could be done. Admittedly, when I called, I only briefly mentioned the discrepancy, but perhaps I could have handled the situation more constructively by pressing the issue & giving more details. Instead, I opted to rate the company here on Reseller Ratings.<br><br><br>Ultimately the problem was found, and Yvette fixed my situation after a brief explanation about the issue.<br><br>Having worked in information technology I understand that we do not live in a perfect world, and I am very forgiving. Based on this experience, and the (much more reasonable) shipping charges, I definitely recommend Jameco based on this and their other merits, chiefly of which: great customer service. Other benefits of working with them include a great selection, easy to navigate website, FAST shipping (ironic), and competitive shipping charges compared to other online retailers. Please keep in mind, these thoughts are from the perspective of an amateur electronics hobbyist, so feel free to take my review with a grain of salt.<br><br>At any rate, thank you, Jameco! I appreciate Yvette\u0027s prompt attention, and I think it is amazing in this age that companies actively interact with social media websites such as Reseller Ratings to provide the next step in customer service technology. Simply amazing. Thank you!","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Jameco\/review\/1743538#comment1743538","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Jameco.jpg","store_name":"Jameco Electronics","username":"neohelios77","rating":"5"}, "single");){kind=link}

![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"I run a Science and Technology Summer school at the University of California Davis. One of our classes needed optical link kits ASAP when another company told us that their supply was on back-order. Jameco was able to produce the quantity of the supplies we needed extremely quickly. They were very helpful, going so far as to call and follow up regarding any ambiguities in the order. We will definitely use them in the future!","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Jameco\/review\/1719028#comment1719028","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Jameco.jpg","store_name":"Jameco Electronics","username":"CosmosUCD","rating":"5"}, "single");){kind=link}

They ship fast and the automatic email correspondence is informative without being annoying. This is a plus in this day and age. Most of all the products are great and so is the pricing.

![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"I have used Jameco parts to service equipment at work and on my own repair business since I started it in tech school. Now continuing my undergrad degree I find them even more usefull with the online catalog and the cookbook series of experiments. Their line of parts cover replacements hard to find at other vendors along with a host of kits and development boards. I still use a wood handled electricians knife I bought when I first started ordering tools with Jameco.","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Jameco\/review\/1577698#comment1577698","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Jameco.jpg","store_name":"Jameco Electronics","username":"AltheEngineer","rating":"5"}, "single");){kind=link}
![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":" I have placed three orders so far with Jameco. All three of them were on a Wednesday. One of which was around 4:30pm. I received all three orders on the following Saturday. That is consistently fast order processing\/shipment. <br> My first order was their component grab bag and their surprise grab bag. As for the component grab bag, I was surprised. I expected to receive a few useful\/common parts and the rest would be left over\u0027s that they wanted to push to get rid of. That was not the case at all. As for the surprise grab bag. Again I was surprised. There were parts in there that I didn\u0027t even know I wanted until I seen them in there. I was like a kid in a candy store sorting through all that stuff, and have made use of a decent portion of it already.<br> As someone else posted in their review, it is easy to blow your budget out of the water when browsing the online catalog and placing items in your cart. Don\u0027t get me wrong, the prices are cheap. They just have nearly everything I want\/need and I am only a hobbyist and on a budget. When you start looking through their items you will see they carry tons of tools, components, hobby items, and even everything you will need for the Arduino. So whether your a hobbyist like me or a professional, you should be able to find what you want. If not, then ask if they can get it for you.<br> One more thing. I sent them an email thanking them for their fast and friendly service. I quickly received an email back thanking me and stating that they were going to actually print out my email and hang it in their break room because it meant something to them that I took the time to write. This is a company that has values and honors their customers. That means a great deal more to me than their huge selection and cheap prices. You will not go wrong placing an order with Jameco!","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Jameco\/review\/1543210#comment1543210","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Jameco.jpg","store_name":"Jameco Electronics","username":"mantaboo","rating":"5"}, "single");){kind=link}
