5/5

posted May-15-2012

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.
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's 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't 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.
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't 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.
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!
