Jameco ElectronicsReviews of jameco.com

Ordered ICs from them for a project. Received faulty or fake components both times. DO NOT waste your money with them.

Ordered a power supply. It failed in a couple of weeks. Had to order a second and wanted a refund on first. This was reply. NO REFUND ON FAILED PARTS. THEY JUST SEND ME A REFURBISHED ONE AFTER IT IS REPAIRED. Pitiful service Hi Ben, We cannot do refund on power supply it only goes for repair. Thanks Rohani Singh Customer Service Rep 650.802.1541 / 800.831.4242 rsingh@jameco

Misleading product photos. Crappy return policies. better off using amazon.com

Placed my first order with jameco and not long after I got an email from them that they wanted me to pay again with PayPal, despite the fact that my card had already been successfully charged. I told them I'd already paid. They said they would cancel the order and then I could pay again with PayPal due to security concerns since I was a new customer. When they emailed back to say the order was canceled and I could order again with PayPal, my card didn't reflect any refund, yet they still expected me to pay again for my order. Totally unacceptable experience.

I opened a new account (never had an account with them previously) with Jameco Electronics because they were the sole source for something I needed. When I opened the account, there was an offer to receive 10% off on my first order. Great! Except that even after clicking through the "enter your email here and submit to receive 10% off code via email" AND setting up an order nothing came through in email except a "Welcome to Jameco" email with no code and no mention of the 10% off deal. So I cancelled my order and will never do business with them in the future.
