Jamco Electronics Reviews

Easy to navigate website, fair pricing, great delivery.

I MADE AN ORDER ON THE 28th OF OCTOBER MY ORDER HASN T ARRIVED YET. ITS NOVEMBER 14th.
HELP?!

This is the perfect hobbyist electronics distributor. Their postage costs are minimal and typically after placing an order I receive it the very next day (yes, I live in CA but still that's amazing). A real person immediately answers the phone if you have any problems and there are no restocking fees. This is absolutely the first place I would ever go to find any electronic part(s).

I have been a customer of Jameco Electronics for over thirty years. In all those years I have only returned items once. The RMA was received in good time and my refund was issued promptly.

I build circuit boards for my sons business. I use your pricing for parts as a standard. So far you have been the better price. When I order I know that I will get what I order and in a timely manor. It is great doing business with you and will continue. Jim Mills

Good site for components for projects, their catalog and web site is more friendly and do sent overload you with info compared to Mauser.

I have been ordering electronics parts from Jameco since the 1970s and have never had any problems; orders have always been accurate, well-packaged, and arrived within just a few days even with the lowest-cost shipping option.

I love it that there's a local electronics distributor that's two steps up from Fry's and Radio Shack.
I can order online, and head down an hour later to pick it up.
The only thing missing is opening Saturdays... (well, and if they had the size of inventory that Digi-Key does, that'd be sweet, too -- but it's still pretty good as-is!)

Jameco delivered my order with expedience and at a fair price. Thank you, Jameco.

Great selection of stuff to get my kids into electronics and making stuff. All my orders were well packaged and arrived on time.

Good luck getting them on the phone or on chat to do anything, like checking on an order... Other than that, good.

Jameco is one of those vendors with whom I have continued a long and productive relationship over many years. The trend has always been upward although about five years ago they reached a consistent high level from which it would be difficult to imagine additional improvement. Over these past five years, 100% of the items on my orders have been delivered on time, in good condition, at fair prices and as described in their catalog or on their Web site.
As an experimenter, inventor and product developer, most of the time Jameco has the parts I need so I check with them first. Perhaps 10% of the time, I need an item they do not carry so I go to my second-tier vendors. While one might suggest that an expansion of their product line would be a good thing, I prefer their excellence in managing what they do choose to stock.
In my experience, Jameco has been a great company with which to do business and I see no reason to believe that will change.

Nice people but they make mistakes. Mislabeled items and sending wrong products. I ordered a half a dozen times and had problems half the time.

Good service and good quality of parts. Highly recommend.

Great company... staff is great and never a mistake.

I ordered from Jameco several times, and service is always fast, but the last order of small parts arrived in 3 days from the order, California to St. Louis, first class mail. Awesome Fast!

I was very pleased with every aspect of my transaction. They were helpful and their shipping was really fast.

Was here previously and there was no minimum order charge. Now there is (for walk in, will call, etc). Was charged extra for my will-call without me knowing about this change, basically doubling my total cost.
Also refused to let me buy additional things to make up for the minimum order.
If old customers are valued, change in charges should be made known clearly, not simply adding a "other charge" automatically. Will not recommend to anyone unless this workflow is fixed.

I just placed an online purchase for a $16.95 power supply and was charged $3.22 tariff plus tax. I don't understand when purchasing within the US why I am paying a tariff and why it is 1/3 the price of the item. I will go elsewhere for my electronics in the future.

Jameco is obviously one of the, if not the, leading electronics dealer in the Bay Area. There have been times when I have placed orders in their store and the parts were ready within 2 minutes of the order. Everyone who works there is extremely kind, the engineers have helped me answer questions about parts that I was debating on, and they even are starting to memorize my name.

If you haven't ordered from Jameco before, I strongly encourage it.

This is the best place in the bay area to purchase electronic components. They keep good inventory of most of what you need. If you are into diy electronics, get familiar with Jameco and they will treat you well.

I've been using Jameco for a couple decades now. I love the "will call" option it has gotten me out of more than a few jams.

Was running out of time and needed to buy electronics off a shop, went to Google and got this address and headed that way. Was glad I did got the things I needed for our various projects in Ai, IoT, they had a Raspberry pi project on display not sure how I missed the picture in my phone was lovely. And was suppose to get a discount as an NGO was not sure how the lady who attended to me missed it out. But liked the product I got.

Almost anything you could possibly need in the way of electronics. Excellent customer service and fast turnaround and shipping.

hello sir ,
do you have raspberry pi 4 ?
could you tell me what is the price of it?.

Thanks

I bought an alarm project for my son to teach him about micro controllers but the project was so poorly designed it only turned him off. The problem is that Jameco will replace parts from the ones advertised and will not update the schematic.

I would not buy any kit project from these guys again!

They send me brochure for aug-oct 1994 still with me

I work there great place to work good people to work for and work with

Incredibly fast service - good packaging - quality products

I have been buying from Jameco Electronics for as long as I can remember. They have great products at very reasonable pricing. One time I had a damaged item and they were very quick to send out a replacement right away without hesitation. And buying on line is super easy. I could buy electronic parts from a lot of other on-line companies but Jameco is great.

Good company, when there is a problem it rules it as soon as possible, good product, I still deal with them in the future

My company has been dealing with Jameco since before 1998 and I have personally been buying from Jameco since 2006 over the internet. It is by far one of my easier vendors to work with and the few times I've had any problems with an order, it was handled immediately, with no hassle. Strongly recommend this company.

Jameco has unique products that I can't find at other larger suppliers, their shipping is fast, and prices are reasonable. 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.

Every thing I imagined it would be and so much more, this place will truly make all your dreams come true.

Always top notch. I need parts fast for my job, and these guys usually get it to me next day. Granted, I live and work in the sf bay area, but still, always the best. The place for MCU's and amazing grab bags.
